Even Marco Rubio knows that endorsements don’t mean anything this year

In the last two days, he picked up the backing of former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former U.S. Sen.

“We have to nominate someone in the Republican party that has a chance of winning the election”, Rubio told the crowd.

“We are going to prove why free enterprise is the right way forward for [young people] and for our country”, Rubio said.

Comprised of about two dozen Hispanic leaders, the group previously has come out against businessman Donald Trump and Sen.

Rubio is not much more moderate than Ted Cruz or Donald Trump on policy issues, he but separates himself with the image of a more deliberate and less controversial candidate, Schultz said.

Mr. Aguilar has already endorsed the Florida senator, who helped co-author a 2013 immigration bill that would have provided a quick path to legal status, and eventual citizenship for most illegal immigrants.

“I’ll admit, I may not be everyone’s first choice because many from the Republican establishment didn’t want me to run”. Rubio spent the morning in Las Vegas before flying to later stops in Super Tuesday states Minnesota and MI. “This can not be an election where we nominate someone because they seem angrier than everyone else”.

And recently, more Minnesota Republicans have thrown their support behind Rubio.

On other national security matters, Rubio promised a “real war on terror” if elected president and vowed to send captured terrorists to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, despite President Obama’s plans to close the prison.

But the 44-year-old candidate largely rolled with crowd’s mood. “I am asking you to caucus for me a week from today”, he said.

Rubio said the problem with student debt lies in a lack of available jobs requiring a college degree, and that growing the economy is the answer. “Norm Coleman is still popular with some people”, he said. “That’s not a good idea for the Republicans if that were to happen”, Cignoli said.

The rally was Rubio’s second visit to Minnesota this year, and last week’s opening of his Maple Grove campaign office made him the first Republican candidate to set up shop in the state. “There are no better cautionary tales for how risky Rubio’s policies would be for Minnesota’s families than Pawlenty and Coleman”.
