Rubio presses ‘Judeo-Christian values’ in Iowa

Marco Rubio’s complicated path to the GOP nomination comes down to this: attrition.

The Sioux City Journal announced Saturday that they are endorsing the Republican presidential candidate.

Rubio says his story is the same and says he parents were also able to make a good life.

In fact, this week the senator is introducing Rubio at a rally and hitting the campaign trail with Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Without singling out any candidate or party, she said politicians should be “under some level of scrutiny for what they say”.

Cruz is one of the favorites in Monday’s caucuses, with polls showing him near the top of the field along with billionaire Donald Trump.

After the introduction, Rubio explained that just like Ernst, he chose to run for office even though the Republican establishment tried to tell him it wasn’t his turn yet. “Donald Trump is dividing us so he gets the benefit”, he said.

Kyl’s backing could signal that more business-class and white-collar Republicans are ready to put their money on Rubio as a way counter Trump and Cruz.

After finishing a town hall in Ames, the Florida senator joined some Iowa State University students who were camped out in the snow for tickets to the Iowa State-Kansas basketball game. Until the March 15 GOP primaries, states apportion delegates based on each candidate’s share of votes cast, so Rubio can collect delegates even if he does no better than third place.

He’s betting Sen. Ted Cruz, who has staked much of his campaign on winning in Iowa, will lose to Trump next week in the caucuses, seriously blunting the Texas Republican’s momentum in the rest of February’s primaries and undermining his candidacy.

“I think he will do fine in Iowa. And so what her parents would do, is they would wrap those shoes in bread bags to make sure that they wouldn’t get ruined if it was raining or snowing on the way to the bus”, Rubio. Cruz and Rand Paul — though he never mentioned them by name.

Having spent little time in the state’s rural Christian conservative northwest, the Republican presidential candidate dropped in to Sioux County for the first time last week, then bounced across the state two days later to speak with some of Iowa’s more fiscally conservative voters in the east.

Clinton, however, told CNN after a campaign event in Davenport, Iowa, that she was “very pleased” to receive the endorsement.
