In a nondescript Barnes & Noble in West Des Moines, Iowa on Friday, Marco Rubiowho introduced himself as just “Marco”also chatted about policy issues while making plenty of time for the lighter stuff with prospective caucus-goers.
In a nod to his presidential aspirations, Rubio regularly told the roughly 100 people who lined up to meet him that he would be coming back to Iowa and even asked one supporter not to move out of the state “until after February of 2016” — the month after the Iowa caucuses.

Rubio also took are few careful jokes from the attendees. When one man named Blake said he was from Illinois, Rubio asked if had driven here just for this.
“No, sorry,” Blake said “You’re not that special.”
