Defiant Marco
Rubio Heads to South Carolina: ‘We’re Going to Win This Campaign’
by Charlie Spiering 10 Feb 2016
Sen. Marco Rubio
(R-FL) 79% is scrambling to project strength in the Republican
presidential primary, doing interviews on Fox News and the Today
show and jetting off to South Carolina after coming in fifth in New Hampshire.
“We’re going to be the nominee,” he said confidently on
the Today Show. “It is just going to take a little longer, but we are going to
get there.”
With 92 percent of the vote tallied in New Hampshire,
Rubio is 1,484 votes behind his political mentor Jeb Bush, who earned fourth
place.
On Fox and Friends, Rubio blamed the media for creating the
narrative that something bad had happened to his campaign, and for discouraging
voters.
Well, what happened is obviously Saturday night, the
debate went the way it went and then the media coverage over the last 72 hours
was very negative about it and so forth. So the last thing that voters heard
before going into the booth or yesterday was, you know, something bad happened
on Saturday night. So it made it very difficult for us to get any other message
across.
Rubio spun his finish as only a difference of a “couple
thousand votes” which is why his campaign was so disappointed.
“So that’s on me,” he said, referring to his debate
performance. “That ain’t ever going to happen again.”
Rubio said he was on his way to South Carolina, where he
hopes to get his campaign back on track.
“We’re going to win this campaign. We’re going to win
this primary,” he said. “It’s important for the country and I’m fired up about
that.”
He ignored the criticism that he was too scripted or
didn’t have enough depth, calling it “absurd.”
“I answered every single one of those questions with as
much or more depth than anyone else in the race,” he said.
Referring to Donald Trump, Marco Rubio suggested that he
had successfully tapped into the anger in New Hampshire about diminishing jobs
and manufacturing in the state.
“Donald Trump is not going to be the Republican nominee …
ultimately to be president you can’t just go around telling people what’s
wrong, you have to tell people how you’re going to fix it.”
