hero, marco rubio, saves a falling nancy reagan. that happened a couple of weeks before simon & schuster called me, and i can member watching it on television that night. it was on the evening news or i think -- on the evening news. i think sometimes political careers are aided by the center piece of timing. and being there when this icon of the conservative movement happened to trip with the cameras rolling, it's just another example of how marco rubio has been in the right place at the right time throughout his political career. he ran for the united states senate when nobody thought that he had any chance, but he really had the good fortune of running in a three-person race. and and politics it's great to run any three-person race because it splits the electorate. and marco rubio became the conservative choice in florida. charlie crist had been a governor, very powerful. everyone thought that he was in the civil. and he was running as a republican, but rubio was starting to make inroads and crist dropped out. kendrick was a democ

from senator marco rubio to governor martinez, the g.o.p. boasts a roster of high profile minority and female leaders. many of them took center stage at the convention. a few years ago during a speech i noticed the bartender behind the portable bar in the back of the ballroom i remembered my father who worked for many years as a banquet bartender, he was grateful for the work he h that's not the life he wanted for us. you see, he stood behind the bar in the back of the room all those years so one day i could stand behind the podium in the front of the room. >> rubio and the others who took the podium this week give the democrats something to envy. a diversity in the upper echelons of the party that the democrats cannot claim. with me now georgetown professor george metzler and fort town, texas. political commentator francisco hernandez. all right, francisco. all right now i'm dying to hear what you have to think about this. because, by all accounts, both suzanne that martinez and marco rubio and there were others who spoke not in prime time

>> i was listening to both speeches, last night julian castro, last week marco rubio. they are both very similar. they are both talking about their families and the sacrifices they had to make coming from different countries. marco rubio talking about his grandfather and how he appreciated the freedom his family gained here in america. now, the problem on the republican side when it comes to latinos is not that marco rubio didn't connect, i think he did a remarkable job. the problem is mitt romney has associated himself with people like chris kovach who is the architect of some of the immigration laws in places like arizona, and a lot of people in the hispanic community really don't connect with that. it has been a turn-off for many, many people, but it's not because marco rubio didn't connect, it is because of other things that the romney campaign has done. >> all right, rafael, thank you. i couldn't help thinking, rafael, when i saw julian castro thinking, wow, that could be one of the next presidents of the united states. then i thought, wait a minute, castro, on a

david, you look at that ad -- i haven't seen paul rye rooiian on camera, now we're seeing marco rubio who looked like a good campaign spokesman there, did he not. >> marco rubio was the chairman of go pac in our florida chapter. i can tell you he is an outstanding spokesman. if you're the romney campaign, you use every tool at your disposal. you should use him just as he's using bobby jintal and suzanna martinez. >> none of those folks are in tv ads. >> yeah, today. >> ann, that's what's striking. i'm trying to think. it's like gerald ford when he did the add for reagan in 1980. you get this sense of there's your future. >> it really does sit in a more special state than a bobby jindal. there's an electoral reason to use him and not some of the others. the question we're asking is why is it him and not the guy on the ticket with him? rubio in a special place. he's very compelling. there are reasons why he wouldn't have been as good of a vice presidential pick. you use him for what you k. he's campaigned with him. >> the reason we he's talking about that, is ryan has not added much so

marco rubio's and julian castro. rubio saying my dad worked at the bar at the back of the room so i could stand at the front of the room and julian castro saying my mom and grandmother held a mop so i could hold the mic. little variations on the theme, julian talking more about his mom doing community organizing so that everyone could have that chance and marco rubio talking about individuals making it on their own. i think we learn a lot about, we tend to sometimes see the hispanic communities as a monolith. i think that would be a lot of fun. i think both of them are obviously future superstars of their party. >> melinda, the jon stewart last week was mocking the rnc calling it the road to jeb bush 2016. i wanted to e-mail them and say no, you should call it the road to losing to hillary in 2016. i see everybody's going to lose to hillary. the most interesting competitor for hillary i think is condoleezza rice, which would be an extraordinary campaign, two smart women, widely admired, tough as nails. it would be an

marco rubio is a cuban-american. i am mexican-american. i have absolutely nothing in common with marco rubio and i never will. second, immigration policy between mexico and the united states, despite all the fireworks at election time, never benefits of working people from either of our countries. instead, in the end it always benefits the so-called job creators. thank you very much. guest: i would just say this. i have actually been very impressed with senator marco rubio. i don't agree with a lot of the issues that perhaps he stands for, but i give him a lot of credit as an emerging leader in the republican party for saying to his colleagues in the republican party and for calling on the leadership of the republican party to find a better way to engage on the issue of immigration. one of the things that he has said is that the party needs to really change its tone and to be more thoughtful about reaching some sort of solution on this issue. while we may not have identical positions on a lot of issues, i appreciate his leadership and his
