Marco Rubio for President 2020 Right here Right now, Part 1

Schedule for the week of March 29, 2020-April 4, 2020

March 29, 2020
-Flight to Washington D.C.
-Interview with journalists in the U.S. Senate, in Washington D.C., where Senator Rubio he's asked what he thinks about Syria Arms Nonproliferation Act success in both houses of the Congress. He's also asked about Iranian embargo on Saudi Arabia's oil :


Well this bill's success is a victory for democracy because it will deprive Assad of any foreign arms provision, especially from Russia, and give the upper-hand to Syrian rebellion, which will help it to defeat Assad's troops, to topple this dictatorial government and to restore democracy in Syria. It's also a victory against terrorism because fight against terrorism will be easier with a democratic government because I believe the people of Syria needs trust in its government. That's how peace and security will be restored in Syria and all across the Middle East.

[...]

This embargo on Saudi Arabia's oil risks to trigger an oil crisis and that's why we need to embrace energy independence by drilling and producing our own oil. We need to be the world energy superpower in order to increase our independence on foreign oil and get the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies. If we don't follow this procedure, we risk of feeling the effects of such a potential oil crisis. I believe Iran's embargo risks to backfire because if it stops to import Saudi Arabia's oil while receiving international sanctions, its economy could suffer a downturn and Tehran could be forced to give up its military nuclear program and to use its nuclear energy for Iran's economic development.

Marco Rubio's victory speech in Richmond, Virginia

Thank you my friends.

These are amazing results that are demonstrating that our party's supporters are reuniting behind our campaign that promotes change, prosperity, security, strength and national unity. We now have less than 400 delegates to win to clinch the nomination. I represent the clear alternative to Hillary Clinton. I'm the one candidate she doesn't want to face. But I'm sorry to tell you Mrs. President that you will have to.

If I'm the nominee, we will grow and diversify our party by bringing the American people together around an American optimistic agenda and attracting minority voters because I understand their struggles and concerns and I have the solutions to solve their concerns such as school choice, education system reform, immigration system reform and economic opportunities for all Americans for the sake of the American Dream and that's how we won states like Colorado with 60 % of the vote, including 71 % of the local Hispanic vote, tonight.

Ya se sea blancos, afroamericanos, hispanos, asiáticos, hombres u mujeres, estados todos estadounidenses unidos y nosotros hemos un objetivo común : justicia, oportunidad, integridad, libertad, prosperidad, seguridad, unidad y paz.

I have the right foreign policy background to counter Hillary Clinton's terrible foreign policy experience that allowed radical jihadism to expand and to kill innocent people, including here in America, that allowed dictators like Bashar al-Assad to maintain their power and slay their own people, that allowed Iran to pursue the development of its nuclear program, that allowed Russia to invade Ukraine and to orchestrate a foreign policy based only on its own interests rather than international security and that allowed North Korea and China to undermine stability on the Pacific. This terrible foreign policy record also undermined our allies' trust toward us.

But in the Senate, I successfully introduced Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that reinforced our defense relations with our allies in the Indian Subcontinent and in the Middle East. I successfully introduced the Syria Nonproliferation Arms Act that will deter foreign arms transfers to the Assad regime, which will bring Assad's tyranny to end for the sake of Syria's freedom, integrity and security. And I will keep promoting this kind of leadership as President of the United States.

If I'm President of the United States, we will increase defense spending, reinforce and modernize our military, defeat international terrorism through military force and consolidated partnerships with our allies and we will secure strategic points around the world to maintain stability and peace.

As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and EntrepreneurshipI have the right economic knowledge to counter Hillary Clinton's disappointing record of economic depression and big government. When I'm President, we will reduce government spending, cut taxes for all the American people, cut taxes and regulations for businesses of all sizes in order to help them growing and hiring, get us energy independence through increasing oïl drilling and production and renewable energies' development, promote free trade to make us competitive in the world economy through reduced tariffs and lower costs of trading, and reform our education system. My economic plan will increase wages through job creation, reduce the deficit and balance the budget once and for all.

My agenda will get America to a better future and this future is right here right now and the American people understands this and that's why I will campaign across this country in order to ask for your support and vote.

Thank you. God bless the United States of America.

-Economic policy speech at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, MI
-Energy policy speech at Detroit Diesel Corporation headquarters in Detroit, MI
-Economic policy speech at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, MI :


Due to Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s big government policies such as high taxes and regulations on businesses and on energy industry, America’s automobile industry is declining. Detroit represents a great example of this matter of fact. In the last ten years, Detroit is in downturn due to the struggles that our automobile industry is facing. And in 2013, Detroit declared bankrupt, which killed tens of thousands of jobs. It risks of causing a domino effect : since automotive manufacturing is one of Chicago’s main economic activities, Detroit’s bankruptcy risks of putting Chicago into bankruptcy as well, which will hurt the U.S. economy. If we don’t take action, this domino effect will hit Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Cleveland, etc. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s failed economic policies caused the offshoring of many of our companies, which cost much more American jobs.

But I have a plan to relaunch America’s automotive industry : by cutting taxes and abolishing regulations on businesses of all sizes (small, medium and big), including automotive industry companies, we will increase our companies’ capacity of open, to grow, to expand, to produce, to innovate and to create jobs. If I’m President, I will reduce the cost of doing business in America, which will convince our future business owners that America is the best place in the world to open a new business, which will help them to lead successful business careers and to create jobs. We also need to embrace energy independence, which requires using all of our sources of energies and increasing oil drilling and production. As President of the United States, I will double permits on federal lands, approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline as well as oil drilling in ANWR. Under my administration, we will build the TransAmerica Energy pipeline that I’m proposing and that will from situated between Pennsylvania to California. We will also drill oil resources on the Arctic by increasing the number of oil platforms and by encouraging the manufacturing of underwater tankers that will be able to exploit underwater oil and gas resources. That way, we will be able to encourage oil exploitation, drilling and production without hurting the environment. That way, we will not only bring massive job creation in America but also get all the necessary revenues for the development of renewable energies such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, nuclear energies, which will bring, as a result, the development of an automotive industry manufacturing cars that will function through renewable energies, thus making America the world energy superpower and helping us creating jobs for the American people, for all Americans from all social classes.

My plan to get us energy independence will also relaunch and grow our automotive industry because it will encourage automotive manufacturing in America. It will also reduce the cost of buying American cars, which will, thanks to a stronger purchasing power, encourage our consumers to buy more American cars rather than Asian cars that will be more expansive. So it will encourage the opening of new automotive companies all across America, including here in Detroit. That’s also an advantage of integrating the Trans-Pacific (TPP) because, combined with tariff reduction, the path that I’m proposing to clinch energy independence will make sure that we will be competitive in the Asia-Pacific since American cars will be less expensive than Asian cars. It will encourage more international consumers, including in the Asia-Pacific to buy American cars, which will be beneficial for our automotive industry and for our economy.

So I’m asking for your vote to grow our automotive industry, to save Detroit, its neighbors and all America from bankruptcy and depression, to lead us to energy independence and permanent economic prosperity and to accomplish our goal of bringing full employment in this country for the sake of the U.S. economy and the American Dream.

Thank you. God bless America.

BREAKING NEWS

Division in the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party seems to be more divided than ever before due to Hillary Clinton's « broken promises » that angered many Democratic voters and other leftist partisans and activists. Many Democratic politicians such as John Kerry, Jesse Jackson, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, John Edwards, Kirsten Gillibrand, etc., decided to endorse Tim Ashe's Independent candidacy because they are estimating that his program is much more progressive than Hillary Clinton's « failed Republican-lite » policies when it comes to the economy, the environment and foreign policy.

Even some Democrats such as Joe Lieberman, Brian Schweitzer, Jim Webb, Heidi Heitkamp, Dino Rossi, etc. decided to endorse the Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio because they are convinced that the Florida Senator will be able to bring America together with bipartisan elements of his agenda when it comes to economic growth, energy independence, infrastructure and peace through strength.

If the division of the Democratic Party gets deeper, we might be witnessing a decline of this political party. Maybe the Democrats will suffer their worst electoral defeat since 1972 by winning less than 200 electoral votes on the Electoral College and losing seats in the Senate and in the House of the Representatives. Some political analysts claimed that such division might ensure a Republican victory on November.

The Senate approves the Help Heroes Act

The Help Heroes Act, that would provide health and education services to military veterans, introduced by Congressman Tim Ashe, the Independent presidential nominee, passed the U.S. Senate with 60 YES votes versus 40 NO votes. All the 44 Democratic senators approved the bill. Among the main 16 Republican senators that gave their support to the bill, we can mention Marco Rubio, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, Tim Scott, John Cornyn, John Kasich, John Thune, etc.

The vote on the Help Heroes Act in the House of the Representatives is set on April 5 2020.

S.O.S. Detroit

Due to the recent economic downturn we are living and also due to high oil prices, the U.S. automobile industry suffered a decline last month, which caused a further rising unemployement rate at 18 % in Detroit, the Automotive Capital of the World. Many Detroit's residents claimed that some Detroit's businesses offshored because of « big government policies promoting higher taxes and regulations. » But this situation is also due to an increasing poverty.

Questions

-We all know that you are running a campaign to defend progressive values for the sake of America such as a 15 $ an hour minimum wage, green energies, stronger gun control, etc. But do you have any worries that your campaign could undermine the progressive cause by dividing the liberal and progressive vote, thus ensuring a Republican victory on next Election Day, thus ensuring the establishment of a conservative agenda?

-Do you worry that your short political experience might be an obstacle?

-Recently, the Congress passed your sponsored Help Heroes Act. What will be effects of this bill?

-When it comes to your opponents : what do you think of Marco Rubio's co-sponsored Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act, that reinforced defense ties with America's allies in the Middle East and in the India Subcontinent and increased sanctions on Iran to make sure it uses its nuclear energy for economic growth rather than for military purposes? And what do you think of Senator Rubio's Bipartisan Syria Arms Nonproliferation Act that would establish penalties and sanctions for nations, persons or companies assisting Syria in acquiring chemical and missile technology or all other types of weapons of mass destruction?

-What do you think is the solution to relaunch Detroit?

-Why did you select John Monds as your running mate?

-Just wondering, who is your favorite American President in the United States' history?

Is this a worry of mine? Of course it's a worry, but it's not as pronounced as four years ago. In 2016, we faced the most dangerous General Election so far in the 21st century. Donald Trump sought to implement unrealistic, idiotic policies that would've doomed our country. Not to mention that his running mate, Governor Pence, had previously stated that smoking did not cause any diseases. That is why Bernie endorsed President Clinton then.

This campaign isn't just about me. Of course we'd like to win, but even if we don't, we have created a movement that will last throughout the ages. Progressives are beginning to find their voices again, and that's what this is about

It could be considered one, yes. My first elected office was in 2004, when I was elected to the Burlington City Council. I was reelected twice, and was the youngest member of the Council. In 2008, I was elected to the Vermont Senate on a joint Vermont Progressive/Democratic ticket, making me the first member of the Vermont Progressive Party elected to the Senate. I was reelected in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 before running for Congress and winning as a Democrat in 2018. So yes, I may have had limited experience in federal politics, but I have been involved in politics since 2004, so I ask everyone to not just look at my term in federal politics, but in state as well.

I am very proud of the Help for Heroes Act. This was crafted in conjunction with Tulsi Gabbard and Bernie Sanders. The Act provides increased funding for the VA, creates the Veterans' Job Retraining Program, which provides job training for returned veterans, and the Veterans' Housing Program, which provides housing vouchers for homeless veterans. It not only provides for all veterans currently, but all future ones too.

Let me be absolutely clear on this: Senator Rubio and I have many areas of disagreements; that's only natural. the BCCA has several good points; I am eager to build on ties with India. However, I find it hypocritical of us to ally with Saudi Arabia, an Islamic fundamentalist nation, while we are fighting ISIS. I also believe that we need to start thinking that Israel is not infallible. They have killed many thousands of civilians, and the best chance for peace there is, I believe, a two-state solution. I am a proud supporter of the Iran nuclear deal that occurred under President Obama, and oppose WMDs no matter who possesses them. Not every foreign policy action we do is justified 100%

Well first off, it's a horrendous situation. Detroit was one of our main manufacturing cities up until now.

I don't buy the accusations of higher taxes and regulation being the cause though. Regulations are necessary; without it, we wouldn't have a middle class. Taxes on the wealthy are necessary too; not a single banker has been trialed for what they did in 2008. More than that, they got rewarded; the CEOs and their immediate subordinates used the bailouts, which was all taxpayer money, to pay themselves huge bonuses and lobbied Congress to kill reform.

I think the biggest factor has been disastrous free trade deals. Transnational corporations wield so much influence over these things; almost to an absurd level. To be absolutely clear; I am not 100% against free trade or capitalism. Free trade can be a good thing with the right conditions. That was the line Senator King had and it's mine too. Trade deals can be renegotiated. Capitalism does good things too; it fosters competitiveness, innovation, independence and so on.

Another solution to lower the unemployment rate might be to put people to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Rebuild our roads, highways, bridges, railway lines and so on. Republicans call Keystone XL a jobs program. It creates 35 jobs. 35. A nationwide infrastructure program can create thousands.

For Detroit in particular, I believe we can lure some companies back. My platform calls for incentives to be implemented for companies who utilize green energy and cut their carbon emissions. We can renegotiate trade deals. Heck, we can even grant funds to those who want to start businesses using the abandoned factories. Again, a good point of capitalism. To any budding entrepreneurs, consider using a factory in Detroit; we'll give you a startup grant and get you going. You'll put people back to work. And if you progressively cut your carbon emissions, we will grant you incentives.

John has been a consistent fighter for minority rights for years. His recent appointment as head of the NAACP has shown that he is a proven leader.

He's also an experienced politician. in 2008, he became the first Georgian Libertarian candidate to win over a million votes against a Republican opponent. He held the record for most votes for a Libertarian ever until 2012, when Gary Johnson won more in the Presidential Election. in Georgia's 2010 gubernatorial election, he won 100,000 votes, putting the Libertarian Party on the map in the south.

Throughout the time he's been on this campaign, he's proven himself to be a skilled organizer;our entire infrastructure in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana was done by him and the volunteers he led. He is a fantastic organizer, and that is why I think we're polling better in the south than many predicted.

*Ashe laughs* I kind of expected that question. Our country has had many great leaders. George Washington, our first President; Abraham Lincoln, the man who held the country together through a Civil War and freed the slaves; Teddy Roosevelt, the nation's first great progressive, who fought to give women the vote; Lyndon Johnson, who led the process of desegregation and gave black Americans the right to vote.

However, I believe the greatest President we have is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was elected in a landslide in 1932, and he lived up to his promises. He refused to listen to naysayers and pessimists, something lacking today. He knew how to twist arms when necessary; he knew that sometimes, deficit spending is necessary to prop up the economy. He led our country through the Second World War, which was a phenomenal feat in and of itself. The New Deal was and still remains, the most essential package of legislation ever passed. If elected President, I intend to enact a Second New Deal.

Michigan primary and Northern Marianas caucuses, 2020

CNN America's Choice theme : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uvpd4myQXs

Wolf Blitzer : « Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to CNN's coverage of the Michigan primary and the Northern Marianas caucuses. »

John King : « It's 8 pm and we can project that Paul Ryan leads in most of Michigan's northern counties in addition of winning the Genesee county (Flint's location). »

Michigan Primary - 25 % reported
Paul Ryan: 48 %
Marco Rubio : 40 %
Ron Paul : 10 %

Anderson Cooper : « It's 8 : 30 pm and Marco Rubio wins narowly the Wayne county (Detroit's location) while Paul Ryan wins the Macomb county (Warren's location). »

Michigan Primary - 50 % reported
Paul Ryan: 46 %
Marco Rubio : 41 %
Ron Paul : 11 %

Wolf Blitzer : « It's 9 pm. While Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan are battling for supremacy in Michigan's center and western counties, the Speaker of the House wins the Ingham county (Lansing's location) and the Kent county (Grand Rapids' location). »

Michigan Primary - 75 % reported
Paul Ryan: 47 %
Marco Rubio : 42 %
Ron Paul : 11 %

Anderson Cooper : « It's 9 : 30 pm and we can project that Paul Ryan wins the Michigan primary. »

Michigan Primary - 100 % reported
Paul Ryan: 46 %, 31 delegates ✔
Marco Rubio : 42 %, 27 delegates
Ron Paul : 12 %, 0 delegate

PAUL RYAN WINS THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY

John King : « Now let's take a look at the Northern Marianas. Senator Rubio leads largely. »

Northern Marianas caucuses - 50 % reported
Marco Rubio : 70 %
Paul Ryan: 19 %
Ron Paul : 10 %

Anderson Cooper : « It's 10 pm and we can project that Senator Rubio wins the Northern Marianas caucuses and all the 9 delegates. »

Northern Marianas caucuses - 100 % reported
Marco Rubio : 72 %, 9 delegates ✔
Paul Ryan: 17 %, 0 delegate
Ron Paul : 11 %, 0 delegate

MARCO RUBIO WINS THE NORTHERN MARIANAS

Anderson Cooper : « Maybe Paul Ryan was helped by Mitt Romney's connections in Michigan since the 2012 GOP nominee was born in Detroit and his father George was this state's governor after leading a successful business career in the auto industry. »

Wolf Blitzer : « This must also be due to the fact that Michigan borders Wisconsin, Paul Ryan's home state. Now an official of Paul Ryan's presidential campaign told us that the Speaker of the House hopes that a victory in Michigan might propel him to be competitive in the next week's primaries, especially in Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Missouri. »

John King : « Maybe Ryan's only hope is to trigger a brokered convention in Las Vegas on July if he keeps Rubio from winning the 1219 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. In addition, Wisconsin is among the states voting next week, which could be an advantage for the Speaker. »

Anderson Cooper : « But Senator Rubio could also have the advantage if he intensifies attacks on Ryan. And we also have to remind that Florida, Rubio's home state, will also hold its primary next week. »

Wolf Blitzer : « So we will see what happens next week as we will cover the vote results of the Mini Super Tuesday. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for watching and we wish you good night. »

Marco Rubio's speech after Michigan primary results

Thank you my friends.

Even though we didn't win here in Michigan, we won more delegates than my rival Paul Ryan tonight. And let me assure you that this race will be over soon enough and soon we will start the real fight for America's future. You know why, because the mini Super Tuesday will be decisive, particularily because my home state of Florida is among the states voting next week and it's massive number of delegates will propel us closer to the nomination. We will also bring our message to the other voting states by April 14.

In this time of economic depression, these states as well as all this country are desperatly in search of solutions to grow our economy and create jobs. We need to use all of our sources of energy, including oil, gas, ethanol fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectricity, etc., in order to get us energy indpendence, get the world energy superpower status, create jobs, protect the environment and make sure that we stop unwillingly fund terrorist groups by importing oil from countries in throes of terrorism. But Paul Ryan voted against the passage of the Bush Administration national energy policy. This is bad judgement and such bad judgement will never get us energy independence and ensure permanent job creation. If I were Paul Ryan, I would have done the exact opposite and you know why, because it's for the sake of America's prosperity.

If I'm the Republican nominee, we will make one of our best performances among ethnic minorities, because I understand their struggles, because I lived the American Dream. If I'm President of the United States, every single American will prosper, including ethnic minorities. Under a Rubio administration, we will reform our immigration system in order to offer immigrants a path to citizenship and help them accomplishing the American Dream on the land of opportunity. Through job creation, wages will increase, including for ethnic minorities. We will reform our education system 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. By promoting free trade with Latin America, we will give our businesses, including Hispanic small businesses in the United States thanks to language opportunities and their fluency in Spanish and English, new opportunities to innovate, to increase their competitiveness, to get new consumers by giving them access to American products, to create jobs in our country and ensure their business' expansion here and around the world. Thanks to their bilingualism, Hispanics will be dominant among the importers, exporters, translators and executives who ensure such a cultural and commercial exchange. And like I said, our innovation and competition capacity comes from our open markets as well as our constant quest for new markets.

Let's keep fighting for this bright future for America by sending this message all across this country. We will win big on mini Super Tuesday next week and that means that America will win.

Thank you. God bless the United States of America.

-Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts an ad attacking Paul Ryan through accusations of dishonoring the American Dream for his comments on inner cities in March 2014 during an interview on Bill Bennett's Morning in America radio program. These comments triggered accusations towards the Speaker of the House of being racist. The ad narrates Ryan's comments as well as rebukes toward these comments, especially from Barabara Lee. It then narrates the reason why Marco Rubio is the best qualified to improve the African-American people's living conditions. The ad titled « Unworthy » airs in Florida, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and New York.

« Unworthy » advertisement narration :

Paul Ryan is unworthy of leading this country. On March 2014, he dishonored the American Dream.


On Bill Bennett’s Morning in America radio program, he linked poverty to « this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work. »

But poverty is especially concentrated in America’s inner cities, so these comments are very offensive to the poor people. And most of the residents in America's inner cities are African-Americans, so these reprehensible comments are offensive to the African-American community.



Representative Barbara Lee of California : « This is a thinly veiled racial attack. When Mr. Ryan says “ inner city ”, when he says, “ culture ”, these are simply code words for what he really means : “ black ”. »



Immediately, the Congressional Black Caucus announced itself « deeply troubled by these highly offensive comments. »

In addition, Paul Ryan wrongly tried to justify his outrageous comments by invoking Charles Murray—a man who co-wrote a controversial 1994 book, The Bell Curve, tying intelligence to race, and who in 2000 explained that genetics will likely show, « One reason that we still have poverty in the United States is that a lot of poor people are born lazy. »

Delivering such comments is abandoning the African-American community and leaving it on its own in this unfavorable situation of poverty. Over 25 % of the African-American people is living into poverty. Neglecting this people will bring further national division, increase racial tensions and make things worse. By neglecting African-Americans, we will never earn their trust. By neglecting African-Americans, we lost three consecutive presidential elections, which gave this community twelve years of poverty and violence.




Here's the right procedure to demonstrate that the Republican Party really cares about all the American people, including the African-American community.

« By the seventies and into the eighties and nineties, Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong. - Former RNC chairman Ken Mehlman's 2005 speech before the NAACP



« For the last 40-plus years we had a “ Southern Strategy ” that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. » - Former RNC chairman Michael Steele 2010 quote



Unlike Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio understands that the Republican Party is the party of Abraham Lincoln, a great and honorable American, the first Republican president and the man who held the United States of America together through the Civil War and freed the African-American slaves by abolishing slavery through the adoption of the Emancipation Proclamation while the Democratic Party was supporting slavery.



Marco Rubio has the right solutions to improve the African-American community's living conditions : President Rubio will cut taxes for all the American people, including African-Americans in order to give them a stronger purchasing power and to help them to prosper. He will improve racial relations as well as relations between African-Americans and the police by providing a better training for police officers and providing a better education for African-Americans. President Marco Rubio will promote school choice, which will cost families, including 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.

That's how the African-American community will prosper and that's how we will bring this country together through racial relations' improvement. So the choice for national unity is clear : Marco Rubio.

I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

New polls

As we approach the Mini Super Tuesday where Florida, West Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas will hold primaries or caucuses, Paul Ryan hopes to obtain victories in Wisconsin, West Virginia, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas in order to remain competitive, keep his campaign's vitality and then show competitiveness in Illinois, a state rich in delegates that is bordering his home state of Wisconsin. For Ryan it's do or die. If he fails to make such performnce on Mini Super Tuesday, he might drop out of the race and concede victory to Marco Rubio.

The Florida Senator's mission for this week is to make a strong performance on Mini Super Tuesday by winning most of the eight states voting this day in order to knock out Ryan and become unstoppable for his party's presidential nomination. For this, while he will surely win his home state of Florida, the Republican frontrunner targets North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, West Virginia and Missouri.

This will be a very intense and interesting week.
