Rubio on the Today Show: “I Have Confidence That Our Nominee Will Be Optimistic About America”

but Rubio joins us now from Cleveland senator good morning to you good morning good morning I've been reading some of the reviews on performance last night I'll paraphrase and some of them up people

Washington have to make a decision at the ballot box and %HESITATION and obviously this is partly they won or one

of the first time that we're in a debate to go to be multiple other opportunities this is a long campaign for the most important political office in the world and

so I was pleased last night of to be a part of it I'm looking for the let's talk about some of the headlines in the debate Donald

refused to rule out a third party run he says he's using it as leverage to make sure the party treats and well sounds

like a bit of a threat Sydney how does that impact the way you and other candidates taking

on directly nnhs why doesn't impacted at all and the truth is I'm not running and I think that's all the time running

doesn't really what other people are doing doesn't necessarily impact our straddling me ask you were innocent me asking please

commander in chief yeah but I think that where this is described confidence in this process and I have confidence that the Republican nominee is going to be a Republican I'll

I don't believe it I think this is a great distance but in the world I wouldn't know we have problems with challenges no doubt right we

trade places with him in one country in the world that we trade places with that's the message that ultimately going to win with

all due respect I'm going to ask you again do you think Donald Trump has what it takes to get the president and commander in chief why

don't know I don't think that's been answered about anybody in this race I certainly feel confident about me but that's why we have a campaign that's

after this campaign is about is determining and answering questions like that none of us are old the position by virtue

of our Famer how much money we raise student to go out and earn it by convincing people and last night was part of that process where

voters get to see us answer tough questions and from that make a decision about whether they're going to turn over the

most important office in the world that's one of us senator Marco Rubio senator I appreciate your time this morning thank you very much good luck thank you Matt alright
