Marco Rubio may have quit the Republican presidential race Tuesday — but "he'll have a chance to get well probably in two years, when the speculation is that he'll run for governor of Florida," political strategist Dick Morris told
Newsmax TV.
"That would, of course be like Nixon," he told host J.D. Hayworth on Newsmax TV's "America Votes: 2016" in an interview. "After he lost in 1960, he ran for governor of California and lost again and still came back."

"What hurts Rubio is not that he finished second, it's about the small share of the vote in his home state," Morris added. "It's that he acted like a juvenile kid in going after [Donald] Trump and the body parts thing, the hands — just the 'so's your mother' aspect of that.
"They were just like kids ranking each other," he added. "That really hurt him."
