Republican Marco Rubio, a potential 2016 White House contender, urges the projection of US global power in the name of liberty — an interventionist strategy at odds with isolationists in his party.

Back home he spearheaded comprehensive immigration reform earlier this year, infuriating hardliners who helped elect him to the Senate in early 2011.

But since then the lawmaker and hip-hop aficionado from Florida has mostly hewed to the right, voting the Tea Party line on social issues and fiercely opposing President Barack Obama’s health care reforms.

In essence the 42-year-old Rubio is threading the conservative needle, regaining stature with his base while seeking to placate a more moderate Republican establishment desperate to find the right candidate to topple the likes of Democratic juggernaut Hillary Clinton, if she runs for president.

2. Rube

Exactly how much more can the U.S. interfere in world affairs ?

I think the 'Rube' wants the U.S. to dictate to the world, and he wants the president of the U.S. to be the dictator as long as it is a Republican president.
