In his endorsement for Rubio, Hardy told the crowd that Republicans had “three major candidates” remaining in the race, dismissing Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Dr. Ben Carson, who are polling well off the lead.
Flake said his Senate colleague has the “toughness necessary to bring reform to Washington”.
Republican heavyweight Bob Dole has endorsed Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential bid following the exit of early favorite Jeb Bush. “In an election where serious solutions are seriously lacking, Marco Rubio has proven that he can inspire more than just anger in Americans who are looking for an alternative to the status quo”.
A new UtahPolicy.com poll released Monday, showed a tight race with Utah Republicans narrowly favoring Rubio (24 percent) over Cruz (22 percent) and Trump (18 percent). I think he is the right person for this state.
Hutchinson also backed Rubio almost a week before his state’s March 1 primary, after backing former 2016 candidate Mike Huckabee. “I’ve become convinced that he’s the candidate capable of uniting conservatives, growing our party, and beating the Democrats in November”. Tramm Hudson, a former Sarasota GOP chair who has hosted fundraisers for Bush and volunteered for his campaign in SC, said he received a phone call from a top Rubio fundraiser Saturday night.
Florida Reps. leana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Curbelo, Gus Bilirakis and Jeff Miller and Nevada Reps. Nevada Sen. Dean Heller also switched his support from Bush to Rubio on Sunday. His story teaches us that the son of immigrant parents, who came to this country for freedom and opportunity, can achieve anything, including holding the highest office in the land, where I know Marco will work every day to give back to the country that changed his family’s history. And to say that he’s “establishment” or somehow not conservative, I just don’t think is accurate.
The Koch brothers are also in the midst of planning efforts to undercut Trump’s candidacy, network officials and members said at a recent private retreat in California. Marco Rubio’s team dashes to pick up the leftover supporters.
