Rubio Iowa closing argument attacks Clinton, not GOP rivals

And what is (President) Barack Obama doing?

Even as Iowa lays down the first marker in the 2016 race, more potential uncertainty looms. It has, however, picked the party’s eventual nominee every cycle since 1996.

“Trump’s voters are peculiarly disengaged and not likely voters”, Villalba said. For me, I don’t care about anything else except for winning the election.

In the as aggregated by Predictwise, Trump is the odds-on favorite at 57 percent.

Cruz has perhaps the clearest path to the nomination. If he does, undecided voters in the upcoming contests in New Hampshire and SC could take notice. But his momentum has stalled as high-profile conservatives defected to Trump and Cruz’s rise drew stiff opposition from mainstream Republicans. Sen.

“It will be interesting to know what the most memorable campaign will be in Iowa”, said Christopoulos.

As president, Rubio said his top priority would be to keep Americans safe by rebuilding the country’s military.

For months, Clinton spoke relatively warmly about Sanders.

In two meetings with the editorial board, the whip-smart senator displayed an impressive grasp of public policy detail, reeling off four-point plans on foreign policy and other issues.

“Let’s say he goes against Clinton”. She questioned his electability and cast him as a flip-flopper on gun control.

What’s more, Ernst has many reasons to support Rubio.

“Joni’s right”, he said, announcing why the United States had to “destroy ISIS”.

Rubio is hitting the trail hard in Iowa for the next week. “I watched him fight that fight”.

Sanders tells almost 2,300 people at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, that energy and enthusiasm are “with our campaign”. He stayed to shake hands with hundreds, which slowed the exit flow and allowed aides to sign up supporters and volunteers.

If you are Donald Trump, I’d say the sudden apparition of the boringly conventional Grassley at a Trump rally in Pella, in which the senator repeated Trump’s “Make America great again” slogan, was about as large a symbolic gesture as possible that Trump is now a fully accepted Republican, no matter what National Review says. He has not gone to Denison, a GOP hub in Crawford County.

FiveThirtyEight, which takes more than polls into account for its “polls-plus” forecast, shows Cruz dropping to a 48 percent chance of taking Iowa, still the favorite but no longer odds-on. But Rubio benefits from Conservative Solutions, a super political action committee with no official ties to Rubio’s campaign.

Rubio also talked about how if he was elected, he would end “ridiculous” EPA regulations-reminding Iowans that Ernst was a “leader” in fighting against them.

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Marco Rubio Saturday received the endorsement of the Des Moines Register, Iowa’s biggest newspaper, just eight days ahead of the state’s caucuses. Last week in New Hampshire, Rubio noted that his opponents have spent over $20 million attacking him. “I know that we are facing some hard times, but I hope you leave here today, first of all, committing to caucusing for me”.

But the paper hasn’t chosen caucus winners in recent years. For Cruz, though, there’s a potentially critical result from deeper in the poll: while CNN controlled for “likely caucus-goers”, when only including those who recently had caucused, Cruz led 30 percent to Trump’s 28. “Then you’ve also got the background story”.
