Florida Sen. Marco Rubio started out strong in the first GOP debate Thursday night as he invoked genuine passion while drawing from his narrative as the son of Cuban immigrants. His composure was all the more compelling on a stage polluted with insults and bombast.
Rubio's campaign has tried to position him as the Barack Obama of the Republican Party: young, working-class and full of vision. He did just this with his remarks Thursday night, comparing his personal experience with Hillary Clinton's.
"How is [Clinton] going to lecture me on student loans, when I owed $100k until 4 years ago?" he said, adding that Clinton would not be able to tell him about living paycheck-to-paycheck as he did growing up.
