What am I missing? Where are his warts?

Were it not for the uproar over his participation with the Gang of 8 on immigration reform, he would be the clear favorite. He was clearly moving that direction, then shot himself in the foot over immigration.
But every candidate in this primary has his trouble spots. If Rubio can recover from that political blunder, he could become a favorite again. Definitely one to watch.
