The NYT looks at "Why Marco Rubio’s Chances Are Rising."

Nate Cohn writes:

A lot has changed since April, when Marco Rubio announced his presidential bid. Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin was the top candidate of mainstream conservative activists and donors.

Mr. Rubio, a broadly appealing candidate but the top choice of few, looked boxed out.

I originally embedded that clip in a post titled "The get-Rubio movement" — which called out the NYT:

Rubio bought an $80,000 fishing boat (which the NYT called a "luxury speedboat") after he received an $800,000 and he chose to lease an Audi (a "luxury item") when he needed a car in 2015. And he's gotten 4 traffic tickets in 18 years. The main thing we learn from all that is that the NYT really wants to get him.

Let me take you back to May 22, when the NYT had a piece titled: "A Hillary Clinton Match-Up With Marco Rubio Is a Scary Thought for Democrats."...

So view the new article in that context.
