"With his relative youth and immigrant background, Rubio positioned himself as the candidate of the new millennium, an explicit contrast with likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the wife of a former president, and an implicit contrast with Republican rival and fellow Floridian Jeb Bush, son and brother of presidents.
“Just yesterday, a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday,” Rubio said, referring to Clinton’s own campaign launch on Sunday. “Yesterday is over, and we are never going back. We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future.”

“The final verdict on our generation will be written by Americans who are not yet born,” Rubio said
. “Let us make sure they record that we made the right choice, that in the early years of this century, faced with a rapidly changing and uncertain world, our generation rose to face the great challenges of this time.”
As Rubio noted in his remarks, he kicked off his campaign at the Freedom Tower, which served as a processing center for many of the Cuban exiles who fled Fidel Castro’s communist regime. Rubio, whose parents left Cuba shortly before Castro took power, offered up his working class roots as an idyllic example of the American dream he sought to preserve." msnbc
