DAVENPORT | Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio told a Davenport audience Thursday night he’s no establishment candidate.
The first-term U.S. senator from Florida appeared before hundreds of people, crowded into a room at Modern Woodmen Park, criticizing federal government for overregulation, its role in education and the Affordable Care Act that he says raises costs and costs jobs.
He also answered a question about how he might convince people that he’s not an establishment candidate. Voter disaffection this year has given rise to outsider candidates rising to the top of the polls.
Rubio pointed to his win in the 2010 Senate race as evidence he is not part of that crowd.
“The establishment worked actively to try to undermine my candidacy for Senate and the establishment is not supporting me for president now,” he said.
“The truth of the matter is when I decided to run for the presidency, all of the same people that told me not to run for the Senate came out of the woodwork again and said it’s not your turn. You haven’t been around long enough. We’re all going to line up behind somebody else,” he added.
Rubio has been getting a lot of buzz since the debate last week in California, and a new Quinnipiac University national poll Thursday said he is in fifth place, behind Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Jeb Bush.
Earlier in the day, Rubio tangled with front-runner Trump. The two have traded barbs in recent days, and Rubio told Kentucky Sports Radio that Trump is “not well informed on the issues” and is “a very touchy and insecure guy” who takes shots at people when he’s threatened politically.
Rubio steered mostly clear of the front-runner in Davenport, though he joked during his remarks that he was going to take a drink of water even though “Donald Trump will make fun of me.”
Trump had, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program earlier in the day poked at Rubio for sweating too much. He’s also called Rubio a “lightweight."
Rubio, like the other Republican presidential candidates, said Thursday night the country is badly off course. And he complained that the debate last week, despite being three hours long, didn’t even include a question about the federal debt.
He drew applause from the Quad-City crowd by lumping the state of Illinois into governments that have a “debt crisis.”
Rubio also reacted to Pope Francis’ visit to Washington, D.C., in which the pontiff called for action on climate change.
Rubio talked of the pope’s praise for the United States, but he added, “I’m not supporting any ideas that don’t do anything to help our environment” but will hurt the economy.
Afterward, Melody Ash, of Davenport, said she is “85 percent” certain she’d back Rubio in the caucuses.
“He just says everything and it all makes sense,” Ash said. “He explains it thoroughly and he has a plan for everything.”
Liar.
He looks too much like that commie bastard Castro
Sorry, I can’t stand the sight of Hitlery’s face for more than a nanosecond. Its such a cruel photoshop.
Well, the establishment told him not to run in both races and “wait his turn”, which he has refused to do now twice. Now even Trump is parroting the establishment line he should have deferred to Bush and waited his turn.
Marco Rubio says he’s ‘no establishment candidate’
...
Marco Rubio ...is the “Robin” of the dynamic...
“Gang of Eight” Immigrant Express...cheerleaders.
We have determined “What they are”...and we know
the price they sold out for was CHEAP...
considering that they were SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY.
They should be put on a boat and sailed on the oceans until they die...”Prostitutes without a country”.
John Cornyn & McTurtle can go along to lick their Whatever, Whereever!
$1.5 million I believe is the average amount that the U.S. Chamber of Communists pay each compliant/submissive “senator”.
I try to control my language.
Gang of Eight
What would he being doing and saying differently if he were?
That’s a typical defensive remark. If he feels he has to say it, it’s a lie. Right up there with “check is in the mail” and assorted others.
Yeah, just as upchuck shumer and mcnasty
LOL! Mario, doing his stand-up act!
I agree.... Rubio is an establishment candidate. With Jeb! falling farther back in polls, I believe the establishment R’s will get behind some combination of Rubio and Kasich. These two eRepublicans would be appealing to the establishment because they think that would put Ohio and Florida in play/win column.
Rubio, our response to you is “Sure thing Buckaroo”!
Hang tight you sugar quota loving A$$hole.
Oh by the way your family didn’t leave Cuba after the Castro’s.
They left with all of their money before the Castro’s took over. They probably flew first class instead of cramming on a small and unsafe boat headed to Floriduh!
Rubio is lying. I am for Cruz all the way.
3 words - gang of 8. Go away, Marco, go away!
Trump called Rubio Mark Zuckerberg’s private Senator. It fits.
