Monday on The Chad Hasty Show, GOP political strategist Matt Mackowiak joined Chad to talk politics. Mackowiak and Hasty discussed tomorrow's speech by Rand Paul in Kentucky that will officially place him into the 2016 Presidential race. Also discussed were campaigns for Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush.

On Rubio's pending official announcement scheduled for next Monday, and his competition in Florida with Governor Jeb Bush, Mackowiak said,

If he [Rubio] had Florida to himself, without, you know, Jeb running, I think there's a chance he might be the frontrunner overall. The interesting thing about Rubio is, I think he's probably one of our strongest communicators in our party.
