Election 2020: The Game!

Marco Rubio's victory speech in Austin, Texas

Thank you my friends!

Thanks to your support, we had a big night tonight and we are now approximately in half way from the nomination. After this disastrous terrorist attack in Chicago, the American people decided to go to the polls on this Super Tuesday in order to decide who is the best to lead America in the next four years, to bring justice, security, prosperity and national unity back in the United Staes of America. I listened to your worries and concerns, I proposed real solutions and the American people finally found his way and followed it in order to get out of crossroads. I'm proud to see our party growing due to a greater vote participation today on Super Tuesday. More minority voters, especially Hispanics and African-Americans, went to the polls today than ever before in a Republican presidential primary race because they are disappointed of Hillary Clinton's failure and they want to earn a better life, they want to prosper through tax cuts, stronger purchasing power, free trade with Latin America, education system reform and immigration system reform. And that's exactly the agenda I'm proposing.

That way, todos el pueblo de los Estados Unidos de America se brindará a esos detenidos una oportunidad justo de prosperar en America, el tierra de las oportunidades.

This great victory on Super Tuesday will push us to win the Republican nomination, to unite and grow our party, to promote an agenda that will bring America together, to defeat Hillary Clinton on November and to bring this country back on track and in the right direction, which includes energy independence, free trade for the sake of our economic competitiveness in the global economy, a fairer education system, budget balance, business championing, stronger military, stronger international security and stronger national unity.

We need to move in this direction right here right now and this direction will lead us to a New American Century.

Thank you, may God Bless the United States of America.

-Flight to Brunswick, Maine, to attend Angus King's funeral
-Marco Rubio's speech at Angus King's funeral in Brunswick, ME :


America lost one his most influential and honorable men : Angus King.

Despite our disagreements on many issues and despite the fact I ran against him in the actual presidential race, I appreciate his service to America by doing with the best he could to unite our country, to improve hard-working Americans' living conditions, to reform our education system and to defend the American Dream.

Before entering politics, he made a contribution to energy independence by founding Northeast Energy Management, Inc., a company that developed, installed, and operated large-scale electrical energy conservation projects at commercial and industrial facilities throughout south-central Maine.

In the Senate, Angus King and I voted to arm the Syrian rebellion in order to help it fighting the dictatorial Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad and ISIS because we both knew that it will allow us to make a step closer to Syria's freedom and to international security and peace.

Let's give honor to such an honorable and patriotic man like Angus King. May he rest in peace and may God give welcome to his soul.

2020

Florida Senator Marco Rubio's speech

Thank you my fellow Republicans, my fellow conservatives, my fellow Americans.

Here we come anually at the Conservative Political Action Conference to talk about the urgency to give America a better future.

Conservatism is the philosophy of freedom. Conservatism is the philosophy that promotes the defense of the Constitution of the United States.

We always defended and will always defend the freedom of speech, the freedom of press and the right to peaceably assemble. That's why we engaged ourselves in a crusade to promote freedom and democracy here and abroad, that's why we fought and toppled tyrannical regimes like the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq and Muammar Gaddafi's regime in Libya and that's why we are fighting Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. We conservatives always defended and will always defend freedom of religion. Terrorists in the Middle East, especially ISIS, are violating the free exercise of religion by persecuting local Christians through violence. If we fight these terrorists on their turf, we will not only ensure international security but also save these innocent Christians' lives and defend their right to practice their religion.

Iran also wants to eliminate freedom of religion by destroying Israel, one of our most important allies in the Middle East. If it ever happens, we'll be witnessing not only a catastrophic disaster but also a terrible genocide. In order to do so, Iran is developing its nuclear program to get nuclear weapons. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton never had the courage to stand with Israel and make sure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons. But we American conservatives, along with some independents (like Angus King), are opposing the so-called Iran deal because it gives Iran all the necessary capitals to keep developing its nuclear program. If we win this November, we will restore diplomatic and economic sanctions against Iran to deprive it of capitals for the development of Iran's nuclear program. By creating an intergovernmental military alliance with our allies in the Middle East and in the Indian Subcontinent and reinforcing our defense ties with these countries like I did by successfully introducing the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act, we will increase pressure on Iran because it will be surrounded by powerful allies of the United States. Iran will understand that the best way to use its nuclear energy is to grow Iran's economy, not to attack any of its foes. That's the agenda I will promote as a conservative because it's for the sake of international security and freedom as well as the free exercise of religion.

In addition, in 1854, the Republican Party is founded by anti-slavery activists. Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican U.S. President was elected in 1860 by promoting the fight against slavery. While the Democratic Party advocated slavery of the African-Americans during a civil war that divided our country, the Republican Party successfully fought against slavery by approving the Emancipation Proclamation. We will always defend the American people's freedom and will always condemn slavery like we are doing while Boko Haram is using innocent people in Cameroon as slaves to extract blood diamonds to fund their terrorist activities.

Conservatism is the advocate of the freedom of scholar choice through school choice for the sake of our children's social success. We need to promote school choice, which will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. It will grant parents the power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

Conservatism is also the philosophy that promotes the right to life and self-defense. Innocent and defenceless people are killed cowardly by armed radicalized murderers whether it's in churches, schools or other public places. These victims' families are still suffering the loss of their loved ones. Hillary Clinton is violating the Second Amendment by imposing a restriction to the right of carrying a gun, which will put many lives in danger. But if we defend this constitutional right, every single American will have the right to defend himself and save his own life.

Conservatism is the philosophy that promotes the right for unborn children to live. Abortion is never good. 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. One of the main reason why the Glorious Thirty (1945-1972) were so prosperous was the great number of young baby boomers who were available to find a job and work. Today, it's exactly the opposite : many baby boomers are going to retirement, which hurts our workforce and slows our GDP. So 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.

Conservatism is the philosophy that promotes economic freedom through free enterprise. Hillary Clinton is restricting the American people's freedom by extending taxes and regulations on the American people and business owners, which weakens our consumers purchasing power, restricts their freedom to consume and buy, reduces our businesses' ability to be competitive and causes their offshoring, thus killing many jobs and making many of our fellow Americans unemployed. If we cut taxes for all the American people, we will reinforce their purchasing power as well as their freedom to consume and buy high quality products, which will be beneficial for the economy. If we cut taxes and abolish regulations on businesses of all sizes, we will stop their offshoring and increase their competitiveness and their ability to implement here in America, to grow, to expand, to produce, to innovate, to create good-paying jobs and to increase wages. Unlike liberals led by Hillary Clinton, we conservatives will promote free trade with our allies, which will make our companies competitive in the world economy, reduce the cost of exporting and importing, make our products less expansive, get us new consumers around the world, which will bring innovation and job creation here in America in addition of promoting freedom and democracy through globalization and economic freedom.

Conservatism is also the philosophy that promotes freedom of energy independence. America is blessed with abundant energy resources. Thanks to new technology and innovation, our country is poised to become the world’s energy superpower. But through her liberal policies, Hillary Clinton expanded taxes and regulations on oil industry, cut permits on federal lands, stopped nuclear power plants and offshore drilling, thus restricting America's freedom to be energy independent and reclaim the world's energy superpower status, costing millions of jobs and making us more dependent on foreign oil. In addition, a part of the foreign oil we are importing comes from countries in throes of terrorism or tyranny so as long as we remain energy dependent, we will fund and encourage anti-American forces to commit attacks against us, which will put our national security as well as international security in danger. But if we embrace energy independence, we will deprive anti-American forces of the necessary capitals to threat America in addition of promoting permanent job creation. We will clinch energy independence and make America the world's energy superpower by doubling permits on federal lands, increasing oil drilling, approving the Keystone XL pipeline, oil drilling in ANWR and the construction of the TransAmerica Energy pipeline from Pennsylvania to California. We will also defend America's sovereignty on the Arctic, especially on the Alaskan coasts, against Russia. We will exploit local oil resources thanks to underwater tankers, which will help us to drill these resources without hurting the environment. That way, we will ensure massive job creation in America, get us energy independence, make America the world's energy superpower and get us the necessary funds to invest into the development of renewable energy, which will pursue further job creation while protecting the environment.

We American conservatives have the right solutions to Hillary Clinton's failures and disappointment in order to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, protect, promote and expand freedom and ensure America's prosperity and security. That's why we have to combine our forces to beat Hillary Clinton on November and put our country back on track and on the right direction to ensure a better future for our children and future generations and give all the American people the chance to live what my parents and grandparents sought by coming here in America from Cuba : the American Dream.

Thank you. God bless you. God bless the United States of America.

BREAKING NEWS

Marco Rubio wins the 2020 CPAC

According to a poll released after March 7, Florida Senator Marco Rubio won the 2020 CPAC by portraying conservatism as the philosophy of freedom. Here are the results : Marco Rubio wins the CPAC with 42 % of the vote, followed by Paul Ryan with 30 % of the vote and Tom Cotton with 18 % of the vote. All the remaining 10 % of the vote went to all other speakers at the CPAC.

Should we deter foreign arms transfers to Syria?

Due to arms transfers to Syria, especially from Russia, Bashar al-Assad's regime uses this arsenal more to fight the Syrian rebellion than ISIS. During its air military intervention, Russia targeted more the Syrian rebels than the djihadist group. These events triggered debates on whether foreign arms transfers to Syria should be detered as it happened to Iran and China.

Endorsements

Marco Rubio David D. McKiernan, former general in the United States Army, Bill Cohen, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Butch Otter, former Idaho Governor, Brad Little, Idaho Governor, Mike Crapo, Idaho Senator, Sean MacFarland, commander of the coalition against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Stanley Allen McChrystal, former U.S. Army general, Tom Corbett, former Pennsylvania Governor.

[WashLibertarian]

I'd prefer to run as a republican and give Rubio a late run for his money. If I lose the nomination then I'll consider going a 3rd party ticket. I'd also appreciate it if we could have one final republican debate. Thank you. If you're good with this tell me an I'll make an announcement speech

Presidential Announcement Speech


Thank you citizens of Dallas and the press for holding this wonderful event. I am here today to announce my candidacy for the republican nomination for president of the United States and I would like to talk about my plan today. Over the past, century our government has grown to a staggering size, our national debt is soon to surpass 20 trillion dollars, and we continue to manage a foreign policy that is based on warmongering and interventionism. The Republican Party has not offered an alternative to our struggles, the candidates in our primary have proposed more government, more spending, and have promised to intervene and start wars around the world. these policies are no different to the policies of Hillary Clinton. That's why I felt the necessity to run for this office to save the Republican Party. That is why my platform is a different one that emphasizes economic freedom and personal liberty. Which also calls for a new foreign policy based on peace and diplomacy, not needless wars. We have not nominated a conservative for the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan and this year I'd like to change that. The America we desire does exist it can be one, we just need to find the courage to fight for it thank you, and God bless.

Excerpt:Another area in which the United States can start to change policy to decrease terrorism is in foreign policy. Ever since World War 2 the United States has been on the quest for empire. Invading and occupying everywhere from Vietnam to Iraq, and all without a declaration of war mandated by the Constitution. Our military actions in the Middle East have created what the CIA calls Blowback. The concept of Blowback is that when the United States takes action in the middle east, whether it be bombs or nation building, that there is an unintended consequence that occurs. A prominent example of this is our nation building in Iran for the latter part of the 20th century. In 1953 the United States installed the Shah in Iran; the Shah, which is the name of the ruler, was very unpopular among the Iranian people. So in response to that, the people of Iran invaded our embassy in 1979 and took hostages. This infamous event became known as the Iranian Hostage Crisis, which is directly related to our nation building. Another example of Blowback is the 9-11 attacks on the United States. If you ever read the writings of Bin Laden and the reasons they attacked us, it was abundantly clear it was because we were over there. We built a military base in Saudi Arabia, which that certain faction of Islam believed to be the holy land. In retaliation for our military base and constant bombing of the middle east, they hijacked 2 planes and flew them into the Twin Towers. I would make the case that if we are serious about fighting terrorism we have to look at our foreign policy.

Statement on Ron Paul's  Entry into the Race

The Ashe Campaign welcomes the political return of former Congressman Ron Paul.

Congressman Ashe is an admirer of the former Texas Congressman, who has been a consistent fighter against corporate welfare, Wall Street's influence on Congress, a bloated military, and endless wars of intervention.

Naturally, there are many areas of disagreement between the two candidates, but there are many areas of agreement as well.

So good luck Congressman Paul. We'll see you on the campaign trail.

Marco Rubio's statement about Ron Paul's entrance into the race

I welcome Ron Paul's political return. He's a man of faith and conviction. His candidacy will give more opportunities to demonstrate whom in the Republican presidential field is the most conservative and who is the best to unify our party, to get the American people together, to beat Hillary Clinton on November and to get America on the path to prosperity, national security and unity.

President Hillary Clinton gives a speech in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 10, 2020

"Thank you! Thank you! It is so good to be here. You're gonna see a lot more of me, on the campaign trail! Thank you all for getting here, this is a great crowd.

I would like to talk to you about the future of our economy. We have two starkly different visions being offered to us this election. We face a choice that will decide your future. I see today and all across America, so many people that have the future ahead of them. So many people have so much at stake from the choices we make now. You know, every politician says every election is important. But this one really is, because we have a lot at stake.

On the Republican side, we have the offer of regressive policies. They want more tax cuts for the rich, more trickle-down economics, more for the rich and less for the poor. They are not offering real solutions for the American people. Their plans are unrealistic, irresponsible and dangerous. Trillions more in debt, rising inequality, and an economy that does not work for all Americans. That's not solutions. That's nonsense.

You know, it really is sad that we aren't spending more time talking about solutions, about our visions, so you can make a choice for your future. I hope this election will be about you. I hope that we can talk about our vision for this country. The Republicans are offering trickle-down economics, they are offering tax cuts for the rich and cuts for the rest of us. They can try couch it in soundbites and platitudes, but that's the truth. And I'm offering a vision where we can create a fair tax system, we can lift up all Americans. We have accomplished a lot in the last four years, but there is still work to be done. And I hope that we can contrast on the solutions, we can have a debate for the future of our country. We can have a debate for your future. But, you know, the Republicans don't want that. They want this election to be about me. They talk about me far more than they talk about you. I don't think that's right. You are the ones that will be impacted by this election. You deserve a choice, a debate, not an angry mob. You deserve reality.

And so I'm going to be offering solutions. We need to make college affordable. My plan does that. We need higher wages and reduced inequality. And I offer a program that will lift up the middle class and make an economy that works for you and for all Americans. Under my plan, we have middle-class tax cuts and an increase in tax credits. Check out at hillaryclinton.com how much you will save. And we will make the tax system fairer by cutting loopholes and making sure the wealthy pay their fair share. Nonpartisan analysts, nonpartisan, have said this will reduce the deficit. But that is far from all I intend to do if we win a second term-and that would be a great honor. We still need paid parental leave, and we need more for childcare. Raising a child, it really does take a village. It is the hardest job I have ever had, and it is the most rewarding too. And I want all Americans to be able to get the very best, so we can help those who have helped us so much. I offer a comprehensive platform, that lifts up all Americans. My opponents may want to destroy and repeal and tear down, but I want to build up and lift you up so we can all reach our full potential.

It would be wrong to think though that we don't have more work to do on the issue of race. We need real criminal justice reform. More needs to be done, so we can end the era of mass incarceration. We have made progress, there is no doubt about that, but we cannot stop now. And when our opponents fight us every step of the way and seek to roll back all the progress we have made, we cannot be complacent. We need to stand up for what is right and for progress. We have reduced the occurrence of police shootings in this country. But we need to continue to move forward, to give every American the opportunity to succeed. I intend to continue to fight against racial inequality, and I have the plan to do it.

And while we're at it, we also need to reduce gun violence in this country . Too many Americans have been needlessly killed in gun violence, and that needs to change. I met a mother named Janet, who lost 2 children to gun violence. She told me that she needs me to do what it takes to ensure no more children die pointlessly. I was inspired by her because she didn't give up. She has dedicated herself to fighting for common-sense gun control. Out of tragedy, comes a positive legacy. We have already made progress. But there is work to do. I will push for Congress to pass into law legislation that gets guns out of the hands of criminals and gets weapons of war off our streets, and legislation that means no more mothers lose their children.

And from the Republicans, we see a vision of negativity. If they have policies, they are badly thought out policies that will harm ordinary Americans. I offer a positive vision and a plan so we can make progress as a nation. Some of you may be tempted to take a third option. But I am the one with the real plan to solve our problems. I am the only candidate who is a proven leader with a strong agenda to lift up all Americans. And I am the only alternative to a dangerous Republican agenda that will set us back and roll back decades of progress. Please, join me in fighting for a better America. Get out and vote, and vote for me. This, my friends, is a cause worth fighting for. I look forward to getting my case to the American people. Let's go and win this election! Thank you! Thank you!"

Marco Rubio's victory speech in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Thank you!

Let's keep it up, we are in the middle distance from winning the nomination and starting officially the fight to get America back to work, to security and unity.

Hillary Clinton once again mislead her comments about our agenda. I want to cut taxes for every single American citizen, no matter their income because they need a stronger purchasing power that will make them free to consume and a stronger consumption brings a stronger economy. My energy plan will ensure massive job creation without hurting the environment thanks to increased oil production, underwater tankers and the acquisition of the necessary revenues from oil drilling for the development of renewable energies. By getting the government out of the way of the American people, our companies will stop offshoring abroad, which will make our companies able to produce, innovate, grow, expand and hire again. Hillary Clinton opposes school choice, which made it much more difficult for children from lower-income families to earn the best education they can and to succeed in our society. We need to promote school choice. Why? Because it will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck like I did during my childhood, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. Parents willhave a greater power to guide their kids out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will increase opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

When it comes to international security, Hillary Clinton orchestrated a weak foreign policy. She did absolutely nothing to prevent terrorist attacks like the recent one in Chicago. She had to wait for this terrorist attack in Chicago on February and for the Congress to finally wake up and take action. Only after this disastrous attack, I brought real solutions by successfully introducing the Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that passed in the Congress through unanimity and was signed into law by President Clinton in order to reinforce defense ties with our allies Middle East and Indian Subcontinent to fight terrorism in these regions and to increase pressure on Iran to make sure it uses its nuclear energy for economic development not for nuclear military arsenal development. I know that diplomacy is a great tool to ensure peace, but diplomacy was not enough to defeat Adolf Hitler, to win the Cold War or to kill Osama Bin Laden and you know that very well Mrs. President since it was under your watch as Secretary of State that Bin Laden was killed. Under your term, international terrorism increased in the Middle East, in the Indian Subcontinent, in Africa and on the Pacific. And preventing terrorist attacks like in Rome, Hawaii, Chicago, etc. required reinforcing security and fighting terrorism through military force and expanding our alliances. But you didn't follow such a procedure and like you arrogantly responded during the Benghazigate scandal it doesn't make any difference at this point in your mind.

If we want peace, we need to be ready for war. We need to increase defense spending, reinforce and modernize our military, consolidate and expand our alliances, fight terrorists on their turf through military force alongside our allies, destroy terrorists' sources of provision, overthrow every tyranical regime supporting terrorism, stop Iran and North Korea from developping their nuclear programs, ensure territorial integrity (notably in Eastern Europe and on the South China Sea) and support pro-freedom forces through arms providing. This is peace through strength and collaboration. I will follow this agenda in for the sake of international security, freedom, stability and peace even at 3 am in the morning.

The American people is tired of Hillary Clinton's failures, disappointments, corruption, lies and depression. The American people wants change, change that will bring prosperity, opportunity, security, justice and national unity. I'm asking you for your vote in the next primary contests and in the general election because if I'm our party's nominee, I will bring this decisive change. We need this change right here right now in order to lead us to a New American Century.

Thank you! God bless the United States of America.
