Rubio's PAC says Rubio is like Harry Potter, and Trump is like Voldemort, and the other Republican candidates are like horcruxes. Rubio must destroy the other Republican candidates before he can have the final battle with Trump.
Leaders of a pro-Rubio super PAC sent a fundraising memo Sunday evening likening Marco Rubio to the youthful boy wizard Harry Potter and Donald Trump to the evil wizard Voldemort from the Harry Potter book series.

Tompkins and Lerner then spent the bulk of the message to donors building out the analogy of Rubio as Potter and Trump as Voldemort.
"In Harry Potter lore, Voldemort, the Dark Lord, had a secret to his strength. His secret was his horcruxes," they wrote. "As each horcrux was destroyed, Voldemort became increasingly vulnerable, not increasingly strong. When all of the horcruxes were gone, Voldemort lost his one-on-one battle with Harry Potter."
While the super PAC was trying to show that in a one-on-one contest with Trump, Rubio would prevail, the Florida Republican might not appreciate being compared to the boy wizard. Rubio's youth has been negatively remarked upon by older voters.
