How cool is it to be Marco Rubio these days?

Even though he rarely seeks the spotlight, the 40-year-old junior senator from Florida is already being discussed as a presidential candidate.

Timing is everything, and if the U.S. is still solvent in 2016 and/or 2020 Rubio could decide to take center stage as the face of the Republican party.

Speaking of timing, Rubio’s was amazing as he kept Nancy Reagan from falling during a ceremony for the Reagan Library Tuesday.

The video, see below, aired all over TV news networks Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Nancy Reagan, 90, has reportedly been impressed with Rubio for some time.

She is not alone, as his rise in coming from a family of Cuban exiles is impressive.

The U.S. may currently be on shaky ground, but people like Rubio may prop it up and get a once-great nation back on firm footing again.
