South Carolina’s Tim Scott To Endorse Marco Rubio

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey announced his endorsement Wednesday of Marco Rubio in the 2016 presidential race.

“Marco Rubio is the Republican presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Democrats are most scared to run against because his energy, enthusiasm and positive conservative vision for a stronger America contrasts with the Democrats’ exhausted, old ideas”, Griffin, a former congressman who was elected lieutenant governor in 2014, said in a statement released by the campaign.

Marco Rubio finished third in the Iowa Caucus last night telling attendees that his solid, third place showing refutes all the naysayers who had told him he needed to wait his turn or that his “boots were too high”.

Senator Toomey believes that Rubio will do well in Pennsylvania for several reasons. “I think numerous other candidates in this field have also changed their minds over various aspects of immigration reform because it’s a tough, complicated, hard issue but I think Marco is absolutely right, he understands nothing can happen unless we can convince the American people we have security on our borders and that we can keep risky people out of this country”.

Scott’s announcement comes one week before the next voting showdown February 9 in the New Hampshire primary. The New Jersey Republican received a key boost in November, when the New Hampshire Union Leader endorsed him. SC holds the first-in-the-South primary later this month.

Scott’s message of support will go national Tuesday morning in video he shot over the weekend. “Trey would of course make a good vice presidential candidate”.

Rubio has mastered another technique successfully employed by Obama, says The Atlantic‘s Peter Beinart. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton barely eked out a win over Bernie Sanders.

Yet while the names Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Rand Paul have been familiar with many of those reading outside the US, Mr Rubio has not always. “The way he is and the things he says, I think it might be better in the general election”. “You know, domestically I think we’ve sometimes have a crisis of confidence”, Toomey continued.

Outside of fundraising, Rubio has not invested much infrastructure in the state.
