Marco Rubio Talks About The State of the Race on the Today Show

Marco Rubio former Florida house speaker is running for the Senate as a Republican Mister would be a good morning to you good

morning Mara let me ask you the same question you eat you listen to the governor's announcement yesterday I am sure is

this a case where he is deserted the party are once again is reported become so intolerant that it doesn't have room for moderate voices the

interesting to hear the governor say what he just said he just spent a million dollars of negative advertising for a month and only one that did not work it

is a %HESITATION abandon the Republican Party decide to run as an independent which is his right what I'm looking for it you know over the next six months is an issue an idea based our

campaign and at the end of that voters want choices there's no doubt about it I'm looking forward to that it when you look at the polls when it's just you and him you were way

ahead of him at this point about twenty points when it is a three man race including your democratic opponent opponent

that and the Republican votes that you need I don't worry about that at all we have a Republican gonna have an election I'm

gonna go out and tell people what I believe and that people agree with me they're going to vote for me if they don't agreement vote for but the important thing is voters they

don't voters are tired of being manipulated I'm not going to go out there and reinvent I sell to manipulate somebody's vote I'm

going to tell people what I believe in on the issues then they can apartment or not support me and either way you know that's the way our Republic was designed and I hope that pain

can be about the ideas we cannot do you feel you're being manipulated at all by the party are they're the ones I listen to help boost your numbers ennobling

tired of the direction of this country and want their voices heard and this is not a professional political movement in fact it's only a year old but

I think it's been a good thing for American politics to see people get involved and have their voices heard I'm proud of

the of the support they've given me and history one final question you've shown that image of all of the president and and the governor repeatedly

basically to hammer home the point that you believe that they are two peas in a pod that's in their meeting when the president came down to Florida to push the stimulus package what

the money are not accepting the money it's about what we should have done instead there was a lot of better ideas on this package about

they were better ideas out there that we should have done instead alright Marco Rubio thank you so much and good luck thank you know
