This week there have been many post-mortems attempting to discern why Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign crashed and burned. But this post-mortem is different and somewhat harsh because Rubio’s failure as a presidential candidate was avoidable and predictable from my perspective as a Florida voter.

Avoidable, because from day one he had no business running for president. Predictable, because on Feb. 3, 2015, I wrote a piece headlined, “Why Florida Senator Marco Rubio Should Run for Re-election Instead of President.”
