Columnist Pat Buchanan argued that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) would be “the next Scott Walker” on Friday’s “McLaughlin Group.”

Buchanan did say “if Walker can emerge as the conservative choice, if you will, against the establishment candidate, he can beat Bush in New Hampshire. But he’s going to have some real challengers for being the conservative voice,” but he later predicted “the next Scott Walker, who will suddenly rise to real fame and be looked at as the populist candidate will be Marco Rubio.”
