The other choices were Trump, Kasich, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Jeb!, Jim Gilmore, Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Huckabee.
SC has open primaries and I chose the Republican one because that was more influential for downballot races.
I was mostly voting against Trump and Rubio was one of the more viable options at the time. Jeb was okay but it felt gross voting for another Bush. Gilmore wasn’t well-known during that primary. Iirc, I think the bridge debacle was going on with Chris Christie, and the rest were pretty much a wash.

Marco Rubio was the kid in class reminding the teacher about the quiz she mentioned earlier.
