Rubio’s Iowa crisscross approach bends caucus campaign norm
The question mark here is whether what one of her spokesmen told WaPo is true: Supposedly, “she is willing to introduce any presidential candidate who asks her to do so if both can fit it into their schedules”.
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. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., wins the Iowa primary.
Ernst made clear that she was not endorsing Rubio – or anyone, for that matter – but she called him her “good friend” and praised his approach to national security policy.
Business mogul Donald Trump is now leading the pack in Iowa polls, followed by Texas Sen. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said he wants Cruz defeated in his state. Without an endorsement, Rubio’s team appeared content, at least, to have Ernst onstage with Rubio in Iowa.
“It’s an affirmation of what I’ve been saying, and that is, you don’t attack a candidate who is not just credible but doesn’t have momentum”.
Like Ernst, many of Rubio’s congressional supporters have been elected in recent years, including U.S. Sen.
Rubio mentioned Ernst’s name several times in his remarks.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says the Obama administration has “gutted” every weapons system in the us military’s inventory.
Rubio said Republicans need “to nominate someone who understands what people are going through, who can grow this party because we understand what people are facing, and I do”.
