Rubio tries to sway undecided voters in NH
Republican presidential candidate Sen.
Rubio, painted by pundits and Republican rivals as one of the establishment candidates this year, repeatedly stressed his opposition to big government, his loyalty to constitutional principles and his disdain for the Obama administration.
Indeed, in interviews with about 20 uncommitted voters attending Rubio events in Iowa this week, Christie was the candidate they most frequently said was also on their short list.
His campaign estimated at least 800 people came to the Westin Dallas Park Central Hotel ballroom to hear the Florida Senator. All he can do is keep having standing-room-only rallies and intimate meetings in supporters’ living rooms.
Taken together, these attacks on Rubio are a reminder what has been true from the start, but easy to forget: Rubio is a talented politician who, if successful, could help a party in dire need of a fresh face.
Trump tops Clinton by three points (47-44 percent) and Bush ties at 44 percent each. “You don’t want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head”. In New Hampshire he’s in second place, 13 points behind Trump, barely leading Cruz and Chris Christie. “He’s done the due diligence of raising money to be in this race for the long haul”, said Rep. Tom Rooney, a Florida Republican who was the first member of Congress to endorse Rubio’s presidential bid.
Wamp said he believes Rubio will do well enough in the February 1 Iowa caucus and February 9 New Hampshire primary to continue in the race. But before he can run against the Democratic frontrunner, he needs to beat the Republican frontrunner.
He then added, “This just tells you where we are as a country”, he said. “They’re not going to do it, even though they’re trying”. But it was the size of the heel, not the shine of the boot that really made Trump incredulous. However, the support of Paul Singer, a billionaire who has poured millions of dollars into gay rights causes, also has given evangelicals pause when it comes to Rubio, reports The New York Times.
What followed was a superstorm of coverage, not only at the Times, about Rubio’s choice of footwear.
On immigration, he casts himself as the lone candidate who fully understands its challenges, apart from those like Cruz.
“I respect them for their views, but I think that’s unsafe in a world that’s this risky”, Rubio said. Our economy is flat-lined, the stock market is falling apart, but boy are we getting a lot of coverage about a pair of boots.
There seems little reason to think the bootie eruption has done Mr Rubio much harm. As you move to lower Thresholds, voters begin to divide their support among more candidates who they may or may not end up voting for. “I want something more than that”, he explained.
“So far as negative ads go, it’s – subtle isn’t the word, but mild might be”, Scala said. In this January 6, 2016, photo, supporters of Republican presidential candidate Sen. However, Bush’s super PAC has spent more on the air here than any other political organization.
“Days after the Paris attacks, senators came together for a top secret briefing on the terrorist threat”.
