Rubio Takes On His Mentor

“As Marco Rubio debated whether to run for the United States Senate in 2010, he made a pledge steeped in loyalty and deference: He would never challenge his political mentor, Jeb Bush, if the former Florida governor wanted the job himself. This time around, Mr. Rubio is not asking for permission,” the New York Times reports.

“When Mr. Rubio officially enters the presidential campaign here on Monday, upstaging Mr. Bush in his own backyard, it will signal a decisive, Shakespearean turn in a 15-year relationship so close, personal and enduring that friends describe the two men as almost family.”
