Democrats shoot self in foot again; fall in line with Republican plan to nominate political beginner Rubio as presidential candidate.

When RNC trash talker Reince Priebus promised to be in permanent campaign mode, Democrats said, “Oh, alright, what do you want us to help you push?”

They suggested Marco Rubio, the not ready for prime time candidate for president. Democrats said, “Great, count on us.”

Or at least that's how I imagine the conversation went. I will do my part spreading the word by playing this MSNBC clip:

Suddenly, Marco Rubio is the guy to beat. How did I miss this bizarre story about Rubio worship?

New PPP polls both nationally and in Iowa find Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton leading the way for their party's respective 2016 nominations, with Clinton leading Rubio by 8 points in a hypothetical head to head.

For the third month in a row in our national 2016 GOP tracking Rubio leads the way. He's at 22% to 15% for Paul Ryan, 13% each for Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, 11% for Mike Huckabee, 10% for Rand Paul, 4% for Bobby Jindal, 3% for Rick Perry, and 1% for Susana Martinez. Rubio continues to lead based on his appeal to the furthest right segment of the Republican Party- he's at 28% with 'very conservative' voters to 15% for Huckabee and 14% for Ryan.

Clinton leads in head to head match ups nationally with all of the leading Republicans. She's up 8 on Rubio 49/41, 6 on Bush and Ryan at 49/43 and 50/44 respectively, and 46/42 on Christie. Biden does an average of 3 points worse than Clinton against the Republicans- he's up 48/43 on Rubio, 49/45 on Ryan, 48/45 on Bush, and ties Christie at 44.
