Conservative host: Marco Rubio could be GOP’s best bet

“And while ISIS is beheading people and burning them in cages, he says climate change is our greatest threat”, Mr. Rubio continues in the direct-to-camera spot, referring to the Islamic State terrorist group.

Prominent conservative Erick Erickson stopped short of endorsing Marco Rubio’s bid for the GOP nomination, but he’s telling the party’s establishment types that the Florida senator might be their best opportunity to put the brakes on the candidacies of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Before the details of President Obama’s new executive orders were made public, Republican presidential candidates were attacking them.

The comments came in response to a question about the Republican presidential contender’s missed votes in recent years.

“First of all my record in the senate is close to ninety percent in my five years there”, Rubio said.

The stop in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday is part of a three day tour for Rubio. “I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark”, he said last month, “but we’re going to find out”. House members and senators, especially those on the campaign trail, routinely distance themselves from the unpopular Congress. You become a creature of the institution. “You think defending the Senate is more important than fighting on behalf of America”.
