Marco Rubio's victory speech in Arizona

Thank you Arizona!

Now we have less than 1000 delegates left to win to clinch the Republican nomination. Once again, we made a contribution to party unity and to national unity by winning Arizona. We are the party of all Americans, whether they are white, black, hispanic, asian, conservative, liberal or independent. ISIS attacked us in Chicago and we have to defeat international terrorism, which can only be done if all the American people works together. So I intend, as President of the United States, 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.

We still have work to do. Let's invest our efforts for Super Tuesday to ensure America's victory.

Thank you! Que Dios Bendiga los Estados Unidos de America.

BREAKING NEWS

James Comey drops out of the race

After winning only 4 delegates and 0 state, former FBI Director James Comey dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. However, he didn't endorse yet one of the three remaining Republican candidates but said he will respect his pledge of supporting the Republican nominee. Here are some quotes from his concession speech delivered in Phoenix, Arizona : « I congratulate Senator Rubio for his victory in Arizona. We invested all of our efforts on Arizona, but without a victory here, it's impossible to continue the battle for the nomination and we do nothing but dividing our party, which will give Hillary Clinton a new chance of giving us four more years of corruption and insecurity. So I decided to end my campaign in order to contribute to our party unity. I will endorse the eventual Republican nominee for the sake of America's integrity, security and prosperity. Thank you! God bless the United States of America. »

Marco Rubio for President 2020 Right here Right now

Schedule for the week of Feb. 22, 2020-Feb. 29, 2020, Part 1

February 23, 2020
-Flight to Cheyenne, Wyoming
-Statement in reaction to James Comey's exit from the Republican presidential primary race :


I appreciate James Comey's contribution for conservative cause. I also appreciate his service for America as FBI Director. I'm extending my sympathies to him and his family and as he said he will support the eventual Republican nominee, he will continue his service to our country by supporting me once I clinch the nomination.

-Meet with college voters at the Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, WY
-Foreign policy speech at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY, alongside former Vice-President Dick Cheney :


I endorse Marco Rubio because he represents the Republican Party's future as well as America's future and because I believe, as a former U.S. Secretary of Defense, that he has the best plan and background to collaborate with our allies, to fight and defeat international terrorism and to keep us safe through a stronger American military, stronger alliances, stronger American military engagement and stronger support to groups or organizations fighting for democracy, freedom, justice and integrity, notably in Syria. That way, international freedom and peace will be reinforced and terrorist attacks like the recent one in Chicago will never happen again. In addition, unlike Paul Ryan, who voted against the Bush Administration National Energy plan under my watch as Vice-President of the United States, I know, as a former oil industry businessman, that Marco Rubio will lead us to energy independence by increasing permits on federal lands, increasing oil drilling, including on ANWR, approving the Keystone XL pipeline and building pipelines from Pennsylvania to California and from the Prudhoe Bay to Alberta and promote oil exploitation in the Arctic through underwater tankers, thus creating jobs and getting us the required revenues for the development of renewable energies, which will encourage job creation and prosperity without affecting the environment.

Boston represents a great symbol of America's values : freedom, democracy, justice and integrity.

By cutting taxes for all the American people as well as for business owners, we will stop our companies' offshoring and make sure our future business owners will decide that America is the best place in the world to open a new business, which will increase their capacity of innovating, expanding, producing and hiring. Free trade will make our companies more competitive in the world economy by reducing the cost of trading, getting us more international consumers and bringing innovation, which will pursue further job creation here in the United States.

Boston also represents a symbol of America's independence and freedom after our fight against the British Empire's colonial oppression. Today, our freedom is threatened again, but this time by terrorism. Just like they did here in Boston in 2013, terrorists recently attacked us in Chicago, on the American soil. But by increasing defense spending, reinforcing our security measures, reinforcing and modernizing our military and working with our allies, we will defeat international terrorism and all the tyrannical regimes supporting terrorism for the sake of international security, justice and freedom, thus saving innocent lives.

Ryan    Rubio    Cotton

Questions

-Opening statements

-Senator King claimed in an attack ad that the Republican Party only supports our troops when sending them to war. Do you believe it's offensive to some of your fellow Republicans like Senators John McCain or Lindsey Graham who served in the U.S. Army before entering politics?

-Senator Rubio, you said a few hours ago that Boston represents a symbol of America's freedom and values. What did you mean?

-Speaker Ryan, in 2012, as the Republican vice-presidential nominee, you praised Mitt Romney's record on working, as Governor of Massachusetts, with a legislation formed by 85 % of Democratic members. How do you describe your record, as Speaker of the House, on working with the opposite party and do you believe it will help you working with Democrats in the Congress as President of the United States?

-Senator Cotton, you tried to attenuate concerns about your short political experience by claiming that you could lead this country Dwight D. Eisenhower but with a few years of legislative experience. What did you mean?

-In the last few months, jihadism surged through enslavering innocent people in Cameroon and hostage taking around the African Horn. What is your plan to fight terrorism on the African continent?

-Senator Rubio, in your campaign, you claimed time and time again that the Black Sea is one of the most strategic zones in the world when it comes to international security. Why?

[GoTfan]

@TulsiGabbard Perhaps Republicans can acknowledge that @SenAngusKing made a somwhat valid point in his ad?

@GovJVentura Agreed Tulsi. Won't happen though; they've sold vets down the river. I can name at least 10 times McCain voted against vets.

[UWS]

Marco Rubio debate answers

-Opening statements

A week ago, we suffered the worst terrorist attack on the U.S. soil since 9/11. We need to bring our country together to defend our values, fight terrorism, get America on the right direction and bring prosperity back to America by promoting economic freedom, entrepreneurship, energy independence, education system reform and fiscal responsibility. I intend to do so as the next President of the United States of America. Thank you.

-Senator King claimed in an attack ad that the Republican Party only supports our troops when sending them to war. Do you believe it's offensive to some of your fellow Republicans like Senators John McCain or Lindsey Graham who served in the U.S. Army before entering politics?

Yes I believe it's offensive to them and even offensive to my friend Tom Cotton. [Shakes Cotton's hand while the audience applauds] It's not only offensive but also inaccurate. Like Senator McCain said, he always supported improving social assistance to our veterans after serving in Vietnam and being tortured there for six years.

I cosponsored the AGREE Act alongside Democratic Senator Chris Coons, which gave tax credits for veterans opening a business franchise, thus helping them to find a good paying job and to prosper after their military service. I successfully 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.

If I'm elected President of the United States, our veterans will be rewarded for their valiant service to their country not only through medals of honor but also through health and social services. If we take care of our veterans, they will be thankful of the services we'll give to them just as we are grateful of their service for our country, for freedom and for our national security. So I can promise you that our future military veterans will have access to the same services as the current veterans do.

-Senator Rubio, you said a few hours ago that Boston represents a symbol of America's freedom and values. What did you mean?

Before the beginning of the American Revolution, taxes imposed by the British Empire on products like tea shocked the American people, thus contributing to the Boston Tea Party. So Boston became the birthplace of America's quest for economic freedom, for free enterprise and against government intrusion in the economy. Tax cuts for all the American people and for business owners  will stop our companies' offshoring and make sure our future business owners will decide that America is the best place in the world to open a new business, which will increase their capacity of innovating, expanding, producing and hiring. Free trade will make us more competitive in the global economy by reducing the cost of exporting and importing, getting us more consumers in the four corners of the Earth and bringing innovation, which will pursue further job creation here in the United States.


-Speaker Ryan, in 2012, as the Republican vice-presidential nominee, you praised Mitt Romney's record on working, as Governor of Massachusetts, with a legislation formed by 85 % of Democratic members. How do you describe your record, as Speaker of the House, on working with the opposite party and do you believe it will help you working with Democrats in the Congress as President of the United States?

[Paul Ryan's response]

-Senator Cotton, you tried to attenuate concerns about your short political experience by claiming that you could lead this country Dwight D. Eisenhower but with a few years of legislative experience. What did you mean?

[Tom Cotton's response]

-In the last few months, jihadism surged through enslavering innocent people in Cameroon and hostage taking around the African Horn. What is your plan to fight terrorism on the African continent?

In the last ten years, Hillary Clinton's lack of leadership has decreased North Africa's stability and security, especially in Libya and in Egypt where many of our brave ambassadors were killed and where ISIS emerged. And she's surely still hiding something about Benghazi, informations that she would have erased among her emails when she was Secretary of State. Terrorists are using Africa as a springboard to commit terrorist attacks in Europe. I don't want the Mediterranean Sea to become a terrorist lake. We have to launch an air offensive against ISIS in Egypt and deprive terrorists of their sources of supplies, especially oil, by securing those ressources and giving them back to Egyptians. My plan to restore security and peace in Africa is, of course, arming African nations involved in this fight, but also putting in place a military intelligence agency called the American Counterterrorism Agency in Africa (ACTAA) that will lead antiterrorist crusade in the African continent through military or intelligence operations and that will use drones in order to find the location of terrorist leaders, which will help us to capture or kill them. We also need to give military training to the armed forces of armies of the African countries in the throes of jihadism to make sure these courageous soldiers will be ready and able to combat terrorism with American techniques that helped us to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Saddam Hussein and Dadullah. That's how we're going to defeat Boko Haram, ISIS, the Shebaab and reinforce security in Africa.


-Senator Rubio, in your campaign, you claimed time and time again that the Black Sea is one of the most strategic zones in the world when it comes to international security. Why?

Well, if we reinforce our military presence on the Black Sea, we will increase pressure in Russia and increase our support to Ukraine by helping Kiev through military material providing and airstrikes to defeat this pro-Russian terrorist group supported by Moscow and then Ukraine will be given back to the Ukrainian people. With a more secured Black Sea,we can intercept and destroy more easily any nuclear weapon launched by Iran against us or our allies, thus preventing any chaotic disaster from happening.

Marco Rubio's reaction to Angus King's death

We learned this morning that Senator Angus King died due to heart attack. Despite our disagreements on many issues, I appreciate his service to America by doing with the best he could to unite our country, to improve hard-working Americans' living conditions and to protect the American Dream. As an American, I'm extending my sympathies to his family and I congratulate Congressman Tim Ashe for his nomination at the top of the Independent ticket.

-Speech at MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA
-Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an ad slamming Paul Ryan's 2013 statement in favor of restricting NSA and surveillance without scrapping the PATRIOT Act. The ad titled « Security without measures? » airs in all the states voting on Super Tuesday (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming)

« Security without measures? » advertisement narration :





In this time of war against terrorism, some parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1 2015 and NSA was restricted, thus weakening our surveillance programs and encouraging terrorists to commit attacks against the United States, notably in San Bernardino in 2015, in Orlando, New York and New Jersey in 2016, Hawai in 2019 and now in Chicago in 2020.



While supporting the PATRIOT Act, Paul Ryan is in favor of restricting NSA and surveillance. But what would have happened without NSA and surveillance? More terrorist attacks against us, more innocent people killed and more threats toward our values, which are freedom, justice and integrity.

We suffered too much of these kind of disasters in the last two decades. So the best leader to prevent such disasters is Marco Rubio.




As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will increase our security measures, reinforce and modernize our military, consolidate and expand our international alliances, and deploy all the necessary military strength to reinforce security and defeat terrorism, which will save innocent lives, defend America's values, reinforce international peace and keep us safe in a safer and more peaceful world.


I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

Questions

-Opening statements

-How does it feel to learn that one your supposed opponents for the general election passed away as it was the case for Angus King?

-Senator Rubio, in the Senate, you recently co-sponsored the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that passed into law and that would reinforce our defense ties with Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. How will it be effective into fighting terrorism?

-Should we deter arms transfers to Syria?

-Speaker Ryan, Senator Rubio's campaign recently broadcasted a TV ad slamming you for your position in favor of restricting NSA and surveillance without scrapping the PATRIOT Act. How can it be done without scrapping the PATRIOT Act and national security?

-Senator Rubio, your response.

-Senator Cotton, your home state of Arkansas is among the states voting on Super Tuesday that is coming closer and closer. Your fellow Arkansan Florida Governor Mike Huckabee who was Governor of Arkansas for 11 years endorsed Senator Rubio over you. How do you feel it?

-Speaker Ryan, you sometimes handled government shutdowns threats. As President of the United States, how do you intend to avoid government shutdowns?

-Senator Rubio said that Iran should use its nuclear energy not for military purposes but for economic purposes. I want to hear from all three of you : how are you going to make sure that Iran follows that procedure?

[UWS]

Marco Rubio debate answers

-Opening statements

America is a great country through its diversity, its values, its promises and the opportunities it gives to whoever comes there. But today, our values are threatened by terrorists and the American Dream is threatened by the economic downturn we are living actually. We need to know whom of us will be the best to face Hillary Clinton and Tim Ashe on Election Day, to get America back on track, to grow the U.S. economy, to reinforce international security and to bring all the American people together. So I hope you will enjoy this debate because this is the last one in this cycle. Thank you.

-How does it feel to learn that one your supposed opponents for the general election passed away as it was the case for Angus King?

Well, despite our disagreements and despite the fact he was supposed to be one of our nominee's two major opponents alongside Hillary Clinton, Angus King should be honored for the service he made to our country. Like every American running for President of the United States, we got to have the best platform to bring all of the American people together as I intend to do through my  pro-growth economic agenda.

-Senator Rubio, in the Senate, you recently co-sponsored the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that passed into law and that would reinforce our defense ties with Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. How will it be effective into fighting terrorism?

By reinforcing our alliances, our collaborations will be stronger and more military force and arsenal will be deployed to defeat terrorism in the Middle East. Terrorists are trying to divide us through fear but if we work together, terrorists will be defeated. This is peace and security through strength and collaboration. Through its diplomacy, through its support to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and through the development of its nuclear arsenal, Iran wants Israel's disappearance, which will cause a genocide against an entire people. But the reinforcement of our Defense ties with our allies in the Middle East through the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act will ensure Israel's survival by increasing sanctions against Iran and pressure on the Iranian government since this country is neighboring many of our strategic allies : Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. That way, Iran will be force to give up the military nature of its nuclear program for the sake of peace and stability.

-Should we deter arms transfers to Syria?

Of course we should. The stronger Assad's army is, the more chances it has to defeat the Syrian rebellion and to reinforce Assad's tyranny in Syria. Instead of fighting ISIS in Syria as we are doing, Russia is orchestrating airstrikes against the rebellion and is providing military materiasls to the Assad regime to keep Assad into power and to defend its local economic interests. As long as Assad is in power, as long as tyranny remains in Syria, our fight against ISIS will be difficult. So we have to deter foreign arms transfers to Syria by sanctioning whoever provides weapons to the Assad regime, which will aweaken Assad's troops and ensure the Syrian rebellion's victory, freedom's victory, justice's victory and integrity's victory, thus bringing security back to Syria.

-Speaker Ryan, Senator Rubio's campaign recently broadcasted a TV ad slamming you for your position in favor of restricting NSA and surveillance without scrapping the PATRIOT Act. How can it be done without scrapping the PATRIOT Act and national security?

[Paul Ryan's response]




-Senator Rubio, your response.

The PATRIOT Act was adopted after 9/11 in order to reinforce our security measures and to collect informations that allow us to prevent terrorists attacks against America from happening. But on June 1, 2015, some parts of the PATRIOT Act expired, thus weakening NSA and surveillance, which kept us from collecting informations that would have been useful to maintain security. So terrorists realized that it was more easy to commit attacks against us and they seased this opportunity in San Bernardino in 2015, Orlando, New York and New Jersey in 2016, Hawai in 2019 and now in Chicago.

Mr. Speaker if we pursue further restriction of the NSA and surveillance, much more terrorists attacks will be commited against us, much more innocent civilians will die, our values will be threatened over and over again, terrorists will win and we will be facing a disastrous situation. We don't want it to happen.

By increasing our security measures, unlike what you plan to do, we will make America safer, terrorist attacks against America will never happen again and freedom will be maintained because terrorists are representing the threat to freedom. We will also reinforce America's national security by condolidating and modernizing our military, reinforcing our alliances, and use all the necessary troops and all other military force, international terrorism will be destroyed and this will be a great step for international peace, stability, security and freedom.

-Senator Cotton, your home state of Arkansas is among the states voting on Super Tuesday that is coming closer and closer. Florida Governor Mike Huckabee who was Governor of Arkansas for 11 years endorsed Senator Rubio over you. How do you feel it?

[Tom Cotton's response]

-Speaker Ryan, you sometimes handled government shutdowns threats. As President of the United States, how do you intend to avoid government shutdowns?

[Paul Ryan's response]

-Senator Rubio said that Iran should use its nuclear energy not for military purposes but for economic purposes. I want to hear from all three of you : how are you going to make sure that Iran follows that procedure?

Iran is already in the throes of economic struggles but the Iranian government doesn't seem to care about it. Instead of using nuclear energy for Iran's economic growth, he uses it to develop nuclear arsenal, to threat its neighbors, to destroy Israel and to attack any nation standing on its away. But by reinforcing economic sanctions against Tehran, reinforcing our defense ties with our allies and in the Indian Subcontinent  pledging to destroy every Iranian nuclear facility through airstrikes if it doesn't act the way it should, economic arguments of Iran's nuclear program will be stronger than military arguments and Iran will be forced to abandon its military nuclear program and use it to develop its national economy for the Iranian people that is struggling to find good-paying jobs and to have access to electricity.

BREAKING NEWS

The Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act passed in the two chambers of the Congress and is signed into law

Last week, after the terrorist attack in Chicago, Senators Marco Rubio (Rep.-Florida) and Mark Warner (Dem.-Virginia) co-sponsored the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that would reinforce defense ties between the United States, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates in order to fight terrorism in the Middle East through military strength and to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons by increasing pressure on Tehran and making sure Iran uses its nuclear energy to ensure economic growth instead of developping nuclear weapons to trigger a devastating and catastrophic war.

The law easily passed in the House of Representatives. Almost all Republican senators, except for Rand Paul, voted in favor of this law, which made 55 YES votes. In addition of these 55 approvals, 12 Democratic senators gave their support to the law by voting YES, which makes 67 YES votes in total, thus allowing it to cross the 66 votes required not only to pass but also to override any potential presidential veto. The Democratic senators supporting the bill are Mark Warner, of course, Cory Booker, Evan Bayh, Bob Menendez, Bob Casey, Tammy Duckworth, Claire McCaskill, Dick Durban, Martin Heinrich, Ron Wyden and Kirsten Gillibrand.

President Hillary Clinton later signed the bill into law, thus giving the effects it included.

A special Senate election will be held in Maine on this year's Election Day

Senator Angus King's death made his Senate seat vacant. Republican, Democratic and Indendent potential successors announced their candidacy. The Republican Senatorial candidates are former U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica Peter Cianchette and U.S congressman from Maine Bruce Poliquin. Democratic candidates are former Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, State Representative Jon Hinck and former Governor John Baldacci. The Independent candidates remain to be announced in the next few days.

Endorsements

They are would both be terrific nominees for the Senate seat. As a former Ambassador, Peter Cianchette has the right foreign policy experience to ensure a terrific foreign policy in the Senate.

I appreciate Senator Rubio's conservative faith. He's the best candidate to attract Hispanic voters and other minority voters and to grow our party and to beat Hillary Clinton thanks to his optimistic agenda that is proposing tax cuts and a stronger purchasing power for all the American people, energy independence by using all of our sources of energies, free trade promotion to ensure our companies' competitiveness, education system reform, budget balance and American businesses' championing. He will also reinforce and modernize our military, consolidate and expand our alliances as he recently did by successfully introducing the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act and use all the necessary military force to defeat radical Islamic terrorism, including ISIS, Al Qaida, etc. and stop dishonest regimes like Iran and North Korea from getting nuclear weapons and Russia from pursuing its aggression against our allies.

As Leader of the Majority in the U.S. Senate, I'm ready to work with President Marco Rubio by approving his policies in the Senate for the sake of America's prosperity, security and unity. So I'm asking you to vote for Marco Rubio tonight on one of our most important Super Tuesdays of our lifetime in order to help him to get things done and realize his agenda that will lead us to a New American Century and we need Marco Rubio's strong leadership right here right now!

Thank you. God bless you, God bless Texas and God bless the United States of America.
