Wolf Blitzer : « So there's no doubt about it :  Marco Rubio is the biggest winner of the mini Super Tuesday.

John King : « But she can savour these victories for now, but late March and early April risk to be hard for Hillary Clinton because many western states (Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Washington, etc.) might favor Bernie Sanders since these states are mostly inhabited by white populations. »

Anderson Cooper :  « So here's what Sanders might be telling himself : Go West, old man! »

John King : « (Laughs) That's right, because he passed the age where he can be described as young. »

Wolf Blitzer : « So, we'll see you in a week for the coverage of the primaries and caucuses Arizona, Utah, Idaho and the American Samoa. Have a good night. »

Marco Rubio's victory speech in Miami, Florida

Thank you. Thank you so very much.

This is a great victory and a great night for America, because our party is uniting toward our campaign in order to start the work and to start the campaign to win in November, to beat Hillary Clinton, to get America back to work through smaller government, tax cuts for all the people, energy independence, free trade, education reform, budget balance, infrastructure development and businesses' promotion. After we win on November, America and the rest of the world will be safer through a stronger and modernized U.S. military, stronger alliances and stronger international freedom in order to fight and destroy international terrorism, to defeat tyranny for the sake of democracy and to restore international territorial integrity.

Bienvenida en el siglo XXI, un Nuevo Siglo Americano para todos los estadounidenses por la prosperidad, por la segurida, por la justicia, por la unidad nacional.

Six years ago, the Deepwater Horizon crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, not far away from here, hurt oil industry as well as our whole economy. Then Barack Obama's taxes and regulations on energy industry made this economic situation worse and made us much more dependent on foreign oil, including from countries in throes of terrorism, thus, sometimes, unwillingly funding terrorist groups. We need to relaunch oil production by doubling permits on federal lands, approve the Keystone XL pipeline, drill in ANWR, build the TransAmerica Energy pipeline and another one from Alaska to Canada and exploit oil resources in the North Pole through the use of underwater tankers. That way, we will get energy independence through energy revolution that will make us the world energy superpower, bring massive job creation, boost our automotive industry and give us the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies to create jobs. That's how we'll grow our economy while preserving the environment. Free trade with Latin America will reinforce our relations with this region's nations, ensure economic growth through free market, reduced tariffs  and lower costs of trading. I believe it will make a contribution to Cuba's democratization through free market promotion just as it did for Indonesia two decades ago. Free trade with Latin America will help our Hispanic business owners to innovate, to grow and expand their businesses and to create jobs by becoming top importers, exporters, translators and executives managing such commercial and cultural exchanges thanks to their fluency in Spanish. Along with the Trans-Pacific Partnsership, It will also help us to keep our status as the first economic power in the world since Latin America's economy is as powerful as China's, which will keep our trade power stronger than China's. By cutting taxes for all the American people and for business owners, by reducing the cost of doing business in America and by developping infratructure through a part of future budget surplus, America will remain the best place in the world to open a business, which will reinforce the American people's purchasing power, increase wages, reduce the deficit, reinforce production and consumption, create jobs, and bring creative innovation.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders want to close Guantanamo that is located  in Cuba, not away from here in Florida, which will decrease our national security. We can't afford to risk allowing terrorists to escape and to kill more Americans. Too much Americans are murdered since too long by coward terrorists. When I'm president, our security measures will be increased, our defense budget will be increased, our military will be reinforced and modernized, our alliances will be consolidated and expanded. Terrorism will be defeated thanks to strong military coalitions, strong military force and effective intelligence operations. Diplomatic and economic sanctions as well as the my co-sponsored Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act will make sure that Iran will never ever get any nuclear weapons, that it will instead use its nuclear energy for its economic growth and that Israel as well as all the Middle East will remain stable, safe and free.

Time has come for a real conservative voice that will lead us to victory on November.

Thank you. Que Dios los bendiga a todos y Que Dios Bendiga los Estados Unidos de America.

Trump only won NC by 4 in real life.. how does he win it by more when he is doing worse in this timeline?? Sorry you got NC all wrong, Rubio would win it with Cruz coming in a close second.

It's because Rubio focused more time and efforts on Florida, Ohio and Illinois than North Carolina. It was a matter of time because he had to win these three crucial primaries, which two of them were big winner-take-all contests.

He's now leading in Arizona and Utah, both states that will be voting next week on March 22. On the Democratic side, according to recent polls, Bernie Sanders can hope to form a Western bloc in order to stop Hillary Clinton from winning the Democratic nomination, whether it's by getting to 2382 delegates or through a brokered convention.

On the campaign trail

New endorsements

Senator Marco Rubio, the Republican frontrunner, has scored new major endorsements, especially from Arizona Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. McCain, a former POW in Vietnam and expert on foreign affairs stated that the Rubio is « the most qualified candidate to be commander-in-chief. Among all the Republican candidates, he has the best experience to keep our country safe, to fight terrorism and to restore democracy in the world. »

Here are the endorsements Rubio scored in Utah : Utah Senators Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee who described the Florida Senator as the most fiscally responsible conservative in the race. CIA agent Evan McMullin gave his endorsement to Rubio and even criticized Donald Trump's extremist views. In the eventuality that Trump wins the Republican nomination, McMullin considers a third-party candidacy.

A 13th Republican debate to be held in Salt Lake City

Since the Republican nomination is far from being granted to him, Donald Trump accepted to participate at the 13th Republican presidential primary debate that is scheduled on March 21 in Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. This debate will be hosted by Fox News and moderated by Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier.

-Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an attack ad against Donald Trump on the War on Terror issue accusing the real estate developer of being a part of the problem by insulting Muslims, seeking to kill the wives and children of jihadists (which is a war crime), seeking to ban Muslims and wanting to force them to wear a yellow badge like the Jews were forced to wear a yellow star under Adolf Hitler's dictatorship, which, according to Rubio, encourages jihadist propaganda. The ad titled « Part of the Problem » airs in Arizona and Utah

« Part of the Problem » advertisement narration :




Donald Trump is unqualified to be commander-in-chief. He doesn't understand what it takes to defeat terrorism. If he's elected, he will do nothing but complicating our crusade against terrorism. In fact he is himself a part of the problem. He wants to ban Muslims out of the United States, he's multiplying insults against this community and wants to force Muslims to wear a yellow badge to identify them.



In addition, he plans to order our soldiers to kill families (including women and children) of terrorists, which is not only a war crime but will also encourage some Muslims to reclaim vengence, push them to radicalization and contribute to more terrorist attacks against the United States.



Trump's plan will be ineffective and will only encourage terrorist propaganda. We can't afford a leader like Donald Trump to allow more terrorist threat and further terrorist attacks against us.



Marco Rubio understands it. That's why he will be President of all the American people and work with everyone, including Muslims, to defeat jihadism.

Marco Rubio's statement during the 12th Republican presidential primary debate :



« If you look around the world at the challenges we face, we are going to have to work together with other - with Muslims, who are not radicals. We're going to have to work with the Jordanian kingdom.We're going to have to work with the Saudis. We're going to have to work with the Gulf kingdoms. We're going to have to work with the Egyptians to defeat, for example, ISIS. It will take a Sunni Arab movement to defeat them. And so I think you can be correct without meaning to be politically correct. We are going to have to work with people of the Muslim faith even as Islam itself faces a serious crisis within it of radicalization. »

That's how we're going to defeat jihadism.

I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

13th and final Republican presidential debate
Part 1

Date : March 21, 2016

Place : Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah

Host : Fox News

Moderators :  Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier


Podium order based on the candidates' standing in the polls :

Trump    Rubio   Cruz

Chris Wallace : China once adopted the one-child policy before increasing the limit number of children per family at two. These policies have been criticized for violating a human right of determining the size of one's own family. Do you believe it would be a reason why abortion should not be tolerated in the United States?

Marco Rubio : I do. Allowing abortion restricts the right for unborn children to live as well as the human right of determining the size of one's own family, like you just said Chris. Everybody, whether or not they are yet eligible to vote, has the right to live. And like I said, if we tolerate abortion, future generations are likely to look back at this history of our country and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies who we never gave them a chance to live.

This is not only a social issue. It's also an economic issue. By the way, Chris, one of the main reasons why the Glorious Thirty (1945-1972) was so prosperous was the great number of young baby boomers who were ready to integrate the workforce. Today, it's exactly the opposite :  many baby boomers are going to entitlement, thus hurting our workforce and slowing our GDP and our economy. So we need younger people to replace them and we can't do it if we kill these young people before they are born. If we want longer term economic growth and prosperity, we need to fight abortion in order to let future generations live and make sure that our workforce will get stronger and stronger, making our economy growing again.

[...]

Megyn Kelly : Mr. Trump, you said that Mexico will pay for the building of your planned wall on the US-Mexico borders no matter what. How do you plan to do that?

Donald Trump : Like you said, Mexico is going to pay, believe me. If Mexico fails to show respect for us, I will raise tariffs and taxes on imported products from Mexico, which will force them to pay or help us getting the necessary revenues to build that great wall to protect our country against illegal immigration and drug dealers.

Megyn Kelly : Senator Rubio, you claimed that the wall that Mr. Trump plans to build won't be enough to stop illegal immigration and that Trump's plan is the contrast of fiscal conservatism and responsibility. Can you explain that?

Marco Rubio : Well, Megyn, I will give you an example of this matter of fact. Approximately 40 % of undocumented immigrants came by air, not through our borders with Mexico. So Donald has picked the wrong target.

Of course, we have to reinforce security in our borders, but the construction of such a wall will cost American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. Who knows if Donald's plan B for funding the construction of his wall is to tax the American people, which will decrease their purchasing power. This is not fiscal responsibility. How is this conservative to spend taxpayers' money to build a wall that won't be enough to stop illegal immigration?

Donald's plan risks of restricting our exchanges with Mexico, especially in the trade sector. Texas, for example, has an economy mostly based on trade with Mexico. Oil and chicken are among the main products that Texas exports to Mexico and with Donald's agenda, our country and our businesses will be less competitive in North America's economy, which will destroy opportunities to create jobs in America through lower tariffs that reduce the cost of trading. Populism is not a conservative value. We need to be the party that defends free market, free enterprise, fiscal responsibility, all policies that will bring the American people to prosperity.

(APPLAUSE)

[...]

Bret Baier : Mr. Trump, according to recent polls, you are the only Republican candidate on this stage who risks to lose Utah, a Republican stronghold, against Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. How do you plan to make sure that Utah will not change allegiance if you're the Republican nominee?

Donald Trump : You know Utah is a great and beautiful state. The establishment has a hold on Utah and the establishment hates me, I think that's why I'm in risk of losing Utah. But let me tell you, I will win Utah on Election Day anyway because Utah is a very proud conservative state. So is there a single one resident in Utah that would want Hillary Clinton, a liberal and a corrupted liar who's running for Barack Obama's third term, and Bernie Sanders, a socialist who will kill our economy through extremely big government policies that will tax and regulate the American people and our businesses and make us deeply dependent on foreign energy? Both of them will take away our people's right to wear a gun, which will violate the Second Amendment. If Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders win, our people will be in a big fat mess like hell, believe me. I won't allow it and that's why Utah voters should vote for me as the Republican nominee this fall.

Bret Baier : Senator Rubio, why is Trump trailing Clinton and Sanders in Utah, according to you?

Marco Rubio : Because Donald insulted Mormons and their faith. Almost all Utah voters are Mormon and that's why Donald risks of losing this conservative state if he's the nominee. And you know, I was myself a Mormon as a young boy when me and my family lived in Las Vegas before converting to Christianity.

Donald doesn't understand the Constitution of the United States, especially our First Amendment. By speaking against Mormons with such lack of respect, he attacked the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States that defends freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition. We don't need a nominee that doesn't respect these fundamental rights. We need a nominee that will defend American values. That's what will bring the conservative movement and the American people together and that's how we're going to beat Hillary Clinton.

(APPLAUSE)

Bret Baier : Thank you Senator Rubio. Senator Cruz, your response please.

Ted Cruz : Well, Marco is right. Donald is not a champion of American values. He's not a champion of conservative faith. Donald supported Bill Clinton's Assault Weapons Ban, which violated the Second Amendment of the United States that protects the right to wear guns for self-defense. In his book, Donald even said « I agree with Bill Clinton. I hate guns. » On abortion, Donald supports federal tax payer funding for Planned Parenthood. We have to remain a pro-life party. We can't allow unborn babies to be killed.

That's why Utah voters don't like Donald. That's why he's trailing Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in Utah polls, because he's not a real conservative. If we nominate a false conservative like Donald, conservative voters, including those in Utah, will stay home instead of going to the polls on November and we will lose again. That's exactly why we lost in 2008 and 2012 because we nominated moderate Republicans. We need to nominate a real conservative who defends values that will encourage all conservatives across this country, including here in Utah, to go to the polls, which will lead us to victory. I seek to be such Republican nominee.

Chris Wallace : Mr. Trump. Arizona will also hold its primary tomorrow alongside Utah. Arizona is represented to the United States Senate by John McCain, a Vietnam veteran who was captured in Vietnam and received war hero status. Last summer, you questioned Senator McCain's war hero status. Why Senator McCain doesn't deserve this status?

Donald Trump : Because we don't become a war hero by being captured by the enemy. With all due respect, Senator McCain is a loser : he was captured in Vietnam, he was tortured and that's why he's against torture, a method that helped us fighting terrorism. And finally, he lost the 2008 presidential election to Barack Obama. If he won in 2008, we would not have been in this mess that America is actually living.

Chris Wallace : Senator Rubio, you want to respond?

Marco Rubio : Absolutely. Senator McCain is a friend of mine. I am proud of his courage, his great service to our country and his record. And I am proud to be endorsed by John McCain. And that's absolutely irresponsible to question John McCain's war hero status because he deserves this status and you know why, because of the missions he accomplished in Vietnam and because when he was captured by Vietcongs, he refused early release. Because if he accepted it, it would have encouraged communist propaganda. This is putting country first. We are a nation that shows great respect and gratitude to our men and women in uniform for their service and that's why I co-sponsored the 2014 VA reform law by introducing a measure empowering the VA secretary to hold managers accountable for incompetence, negligence and corruption and to care more about veterans than bureaucrats because it's another way to reward our veterans for their military service and their sacrifices for America. We can't let veterans on their own and we have to keep our faith on our men and women in uniform. If I'm the nominee, we will keep defending our veterans' honor.

(APPLAUSE)

Chris Wallace : Recently, Russia withdrew its troops from Syria. How do you think will it affect the situation in Syria?

Marco Rubio : It means that our fight against ISIS will be much more easy. The reason why it's actually difficult is because Syria is led by a dictatorial regime led by Bachar el-Assad who is slaying his own people and is defended by Russia for economic purposes. Without Russia's military support, Assad is on his own, which will make it easier for Syrian rebels to topple him and to restore democracy, justice, integrity and freedom in Syria. Such regime change in Syria will help us and our allies to accomplish our fight against ISIS because Syria will be given back to the Syrian people and Syrians will have trust in their government again thanks to stronger freedom, integrity and justice. That way, Syria will not only be free but also safe. And by working with Syria, we will defeat ISIS and other jihadist groups.

13th and final Republican presidential debate
Part 2

Date : March 21, 2016

Place : Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah

Host : Fox News

Moderators :  Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier


Podium order based on the candidates' standing in the polls :

Trump    Rubio   Cruz

Chris Wallace : Why are you the one person on this stage that is most likely to defeat Hillary Clinton?

Ted Cruz : I'm the strongest defender of the Constitution of the United States running this election. I'm the strongest defender of conservative faith and American values while Donald is embracing New York values, which are liberal values, and Marco is embracing amnesty. So if you nominate me, a proud conservative Republican, we will bring all conservatives together, which we failed to do in the previous two presidential elections. All conservatives will go to the polls and we will win.

Donald Trump : We have these two guys : Marco and Ted, who both represent the establishment just like Hillary Clinton represents the establishment of the Democratic Party. We need a nominee who is outside the establishment. The people is feeling betrayed by the establishment who failed to reduce taxes and who support free trade agreements that brought American jobs overseas. Unlike Hillary Clinton and these two guys alongside of me, I speak straight and that's why in every single exit poll in every state that voted in the primaries, I'm in the top by a big fat margin among voters who want a candidate who tells things like they are. So if I'm the nominee, more voters will come to the Republican Party, believe me, and the silent majority will have its right to speak. That's how I will beat Hillary Clinton.

Marco Rubio : I'm the son of Cuban immigrants that came here in America for economic opportunities and that could never come back to Cuba because of Castro's tyranny. Though they struggled to adapt in this new society, they were successful and they made sure that their children's' lives would be more successful than theirs. I understand the concerns of the Hispanic community because I lived the American Dream. We need to reform our immigration system to reinforce security in our borders, to make our country more inclusive and to give immigrants a fair chance to earn American citizenship, to earn higher education if they need it and to prosper by experiencing the American Dream on the land of opportunity. Free trade with Latin America will help our Hispanic business owners to innovate, to grow and expand their businesses and to create jobs by becoming top importers, exporters, translators and executives managing such commercial and cultural exchanges thanks to their fluency in Spanish. That's how I will be able to expand our party's support among Hispanics and young people.

I'm seating in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and on the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. Unlike Hillary Clinton, I know what it takes to create jobs and to make America working again. My economic plan will not only boost job creation and bring prosperity back to America but will also bring all the American people together thanks to bipartisan elements, which will help our party to expand its support among the American people.

I have the best foreign policy experience to counter Hillary Clinton's disastrous record that gave us further growing of international terrorism, that allowed Russia to keep threatening international peace and that got Iran closer from getting nuclear weapons. By promoting peace through strength thanks to an increase of our military presence in strategic areas and to the creation of intergovernmental military alliances, we will deter Iran and North Korea from pursuing the development of their nuclear programs and fight radical Islamic terrorism more effectively. By increasing military spending and sending all the necessary troops and arsenal in the Middle East, America and its allies will be able to defeat terrorism all across this region for the sake of international security, freedom and peace. That's my agenda, because that's the right way to fight terrorism. This is such clear and strong foreign policy judgement that will help me to beat Hillary Clinton and make America safe.

Who won the debate?
Marco Rubio : 53 %
Ted Cruz : 30 %
Donald Trump : 17 %

The Washington Post

Political Geography: Tales from the campaign trail

Arizona

Polls showed Marco Rubio running ahead in Arizona, where the state's some-
what sizable Mormon population as well as Arizona's massive Hispanic population gives him an edge. To win on Tuesday, he needs to capture a large share of the vote in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, which accounted for two-thirds of the state's 2008 and 2012 GOP primary voters. Arizona Senator John McCain's endorsement could also boost Marco Rubio in Arizona.
↓↘

↖

Donald Trump focused most of his efforts in Arizona's southern counties, including the Maricopa County, where illegal immigration is one of the main issues in local voters' minds.

↗

Polls show Ted Cruz running third to Rubio and Trump. The Texas Senator spent more time in Utah than Arizona.

Utah

↙↓↘

↖↑↗

Utah is announced to be a dual between Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Rubio focused his efforts in the state's northern regions, including Salt Lake City, where he could benefit from the fiscal conservative vote and more moderate vote. He can also get an edge from Utah's massive Mormon population. Ted Cruz focused most of his time and efforts in Utah's southern counties and hopes to enjoy support from Tea Party voters and hard-core conservative support in Utah to pull up a win there.

Marco Rubio's victory speech in Phoenix, Arizona

Thank you Arizona! Thank you Utah!

I'm proud to see our party as well as the whole conservative movement coalescing together towards our campaign. In Arizona, we won almost 70 % of the Hispanic vote. In Utah, we reached almost 60 % of the vote. Tonight we have won 100 % of all the 107 delegates that were distributed tonight.

Once again, we made a contribution to party unity and to national unity by winning Arizona and Utah. We are the party of all Americans, whether they are Whites, African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, conservatives, liberals or independents.

So I'm glad to be here in Phoenix to send a great message based on this city's name : after two disastrous electoral defeats over the last eight years, our party is about to reborn from the ashes like a phoenix.

My friends, we just learned that five terrorists fighting for ISIS committed a terrorist attack in a metro station in Brussels, Belgium, killing 32 people. Three of the five assailants were killed and let's hope that the two remaining terrorists will be brought to justice soon enough. Let's pray for Belgium, one of our greatest partners and allies. We are Brussels!

We need to stand with our allies, to modernize our military and to boost our troops' readiness and together, we and our allies, will defeat international radical Islamic terrorism, which can only be done if all the American people works together. So I intend, as President of the United States, to bring our country and our people together in order to make sure that we will overcome our challenges for the sake of America's prosperity, security and unity.

Remember, two years ago, Hillary Clinton said that businesses don't create jobs. This is like saying that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Meg Whitman or Henry Ford didn't create jobs. It shows that Hillary Clinton doesn't understand the economy and doesn't know a lot about how to create jobs. Hillary Clinton's claim is an attack against free enterprise and against the American Dream. We are not the strongest economy in the world because of big government. Free enterprise is a basic element of America's economic prosperity. Businesses create jobs. Thanks to the hard work of the American people, we can promote opportunity. America is strong because of the ingenuity and entrepreneurship and hard work of the American people. I understand this as a son of immigrants and as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. That's why I have the right economic knowledge and agenda to get America working again and to get this great and beautiful country on the path to permanent prosperity.

We still have work to do. Let's move to Wisconsin, a great example of America's prosperity through industrialization, innovation, free market, free enterprise, lower fiscal burden and smaller government.

Thank you! God bless the United States of America.

On the campaign trail

Terrorist attacks in Brussels

Yesterday, on March 22, five terrorists fighting for ISIS committed a terrorist attack in Brussels, killing 32 people and wounding 340 others. Three of the five ISIS fighters were killed by the Belgian police and the two remaining terrorists are still on the run. All around the world, campaigns of solidarity emerged and adopted the slogan « We are Brussels! »

Donald Trump makes wild threat to 'spill the beans' on Ted Cruz's wife

Donald Trump escalated his feud with Ted Cruz on Twitter Tuesday — but this time he also involved the Texas senator's wife, who hit back on Wednesday at an impromptu press conference.

« Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife! », he tweeted Tuesday evening, just minutes before polls closed in Arizona.

While campaigning in Dane, Wisconsin, Ted Cruz hit back :

« It's not easy to take me off. I don't get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, then I'll do it every time. Donald you're a sniveling coward. Leave Heidi the hell alone! »

Just after this statement, a reporter asked the Texas Senator whether he would support Donald Trump if the real estate developer were to become the Republican presidential nominee.

« I'm going to beat him for the nomination. », Cruz answered.

« That's not answering the question, Senator. », the reporter replied.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker endorses Marco Rubio

During a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Scott Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin and former Republican presidential candidate, announced that he endorses Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Here are some quotes of Walker's
announcement :

« Now is the time to chose who will be the Republican nominee and the next President of the United States of America. Last summer, I said that if I were to be the Republican nominee, Marco Rubio would be my first choice as my running mate. Well, now that I'm no longer running, I am here to announce you that I endorse Marco Rubio, because right now he is my first choice for President of the United States.

After eight years of the failed Obama-Clinton Administration, Americans are looking for real leadership and a new direction. Marco Rubio is a principled constitutional conservative who understands that power belongs to the states — and to the people — not bureaucrats in Washington. Just like we did in Wisconsin, Marco Rubio is not afraid to challenge the status quo and to stand up against the big government special interests. He has the best experience to grow our economy, to promote free market and free enterprise, to create jobs, to make America prosperous and to restore the American Dream. He has the right foreign policy experience to work with our allies, to defeat radical Islamic terrorism around the world and to fight for democracy. He is the best-positioned candidate to both win the Republican nomination and defeat Hillary Clinton. That’s why I endorse Marco Rubio for President of the United States. »

I sort of feel that if Rubio is the front runner he will not poll as well against Clinton since there will be more Dem efforts to go after him.  Likewise I think Trump and Cruz would poll better than in real life since the anti-GOP energy would now be focused on Rubio and not them.

Yeah, all right, I updated the polls.

-Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an ad titled « Real Solution » that narrates Rubio's plan to favor a new rise for America's manufacturing industry without ripping free trade agreements such as NAFTA, the TPP and the TTIP. The ad airs in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania

« Real Solution » advertisement narration :

The right way to keep our manufacturing jobs and to create more of such jobs is not to rip our free trade deals like Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are suggesting.




If we want to relaunch America's manufacturing industry, we have to cut taxes and regulations for manufacturing businesses, which will make them much more competitive and help them to manufacture, to produce, to grow, to expand and to create jobs. That's what Marco Rubio will do as President to make America's economy healthy again.



That way, we can, without any doubt, become much more competitive in the global economy by promoting free trade, which will get us new consumers and reduce the cost of exporting and importing, thus ensuring job creation for the American people.



Manufacturing and trade are both important elements of America's strength and prosperity. One thing doesn't rule out the other. Marco Rubio knows this and that's why tax cuts for manufacturing industry will help us to create jobs in this sector and keep them while encouraging competition in the world economy.

Marco Rubio for a fairer, freer, prosperous and better America.



I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

March 28, 2016
-Foreign policy speech at Appleton War Memorial in Appleton, WI, where Senator Marco Rubio slams Donald Trump for his lack of foreign policy experience :


Donald Trump doesn't know anything about foreign policy and about how to get America safe. The day before the terrorist attacks in Brussels, he called for America's withdrawal from NATO. Donald Trump is adopting a foreign policy agenda that is weaker and more liberal than President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s. America's withdrawal from NATO would hand a massive victory to Vladimir Putin and to ISIS. It's no wonder that Donald Trump admires Putin, a former KGB agent, a gangster and tyrant who violated Ukraine's and Georgia's territorial integrity. In addition, his controversial comments on Muslims won't solve anything and will encourage terrorist propaganda. That weakness and unilateral surrender from Donald Trump's call to withdraw from NATO indicates his lack of foreign policy experience.

Brussels is the capital of NATO. Brussels just showed an symbol of solidarity and its through solidarity, collaboration with our allies that we will defeat ISIS and all other jihadist groups as well as Putin's expansionist policies. Unlike what Donald Trump claimed, NATO is relevant and effective and accomplished a lot of things over the last few years : we killed Osama Bin Laden and thanks to our collaborations with our allies, we are reducing ISIS' territory in the Middle East. When I'm President, I will finish the job, we will defeat ISIS and bring Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (ISIS' leader) to justice. I will expand our alliances and partnerships and together, we and our allies will defeat terrorism and tyranny. United, we stand, divided we fall.
