Marco Rubio to Santorum and Gingrich: “It’s Time Now to Concede”
Shark Tank ^ | 4/5/12 | Javier Manjarres

Posted on 04/05/2012 11:55:27 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative

Senator Marco Rubio made some bold statements regarding the Republican Presidential primary race,while attening one of his regional Senate office openings in Palm Beach county, Florida.

Rubio has openly endorsed Governor Mitt Romney in the race, and has said that he was not one to tell another candidate to drop out of a race, until now.

“I actually think we’re going to have a very good nominee. I think Mitt Romney’s going to be the next president of the United States. And by their own admission, the folks running against Mitt Romney have admitted that they cannot win the primary, that the only way they can win is a floor fight at the convention, which I think would set us back in terms of our goal of replacing Barack Obama.

“So I do believe it’s time now to concede that Mitt Romney has won the Republican nomination, that he’s going to be the Republican nominee, and that if we all get behind him he will be the next president of the United States.”

is Mitt going to take the fight TO Obama, exposing his failures and demonstrated incompetence...

"He's a nice man, loves his country, but is just in over his head & out of ideas."

(Mitt's illustration of how he will 'take the fight to Obama.')

Perhaps we should insist politicians demonstrate real statesmanship and accomplish something meaningful, as well as be tested by fire, before elevating their status.

Now there's a novel idea.

“...until the perception is left that Mitt is truly no different from Obama?”

The above is not a ‘perception’ - Romnutz IS a Saul Alinsky collectivist, just as was Romnutz Daddy was a friend of Alinsky.

In this case, the Nut (Romnutz) did not fall far from the tree.

Some accurate numbers that the media does not want to talk about.

The race is far from over, and like Newt said, Romney has to earn the delegates. It will be some time before the fat lady sings!
