Marco Rubio is slowly climbing out of the hole he dug himself with so-called comprehensive immigration reform. He has set out the pillars of a reform-oriented domestic platform. Events abroad are vindicating his world view, and he gave a serious defense speech yesterday, as Mario noted; we have an op-Ed version here. And he is crab-walking away from his mistake on immigration, although I would prefer a more frank admission that he got it wrong. He’s a bit of a hostage to Jeb in 2016. If the former Florida governor runs, it makes it very tough for him. But if Jeb doesn’t go, as seems most likely, he is well-positioned to surprise all those people who have prematurely written him off.
