Hillary Clinton to Deliver Speech on Jobs & the Economy in Detroit, Michigan on Friday, March 4, 2016

Hillary Clinton to Deliver Speech on Jobs & the Economy in Detroit, Michigan on  Friday, March 4, 2016

Detroit, MI -- Hillary Clinton will travel to Detroit, Michigan, on Friday, March 4, to deliver a major policy speech about job creation and the economy, and to encourage supporters to vote in the March 8th primary. Clinton will speak at Detroit Manufacturing Systems, an automotive supplier.

Hillary Clinton is the tireless fighter Americans need to get things done and to protect the progress we’ve made. Clinton has spent her entire life taking on the toughest fights on behalf of American families, and is the only candidate who can deliver real results for the American people. Clinton believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans, and as president she will work every day to create more good paying jobs and to break down the barriers that keep families back.

Friday, March 4th
WHERE: Detroit Manufacturing Systems, Building A, 12701 Southfield Road, Detroit, MI 48223
WHEN: 2:30PM ET
DOORS OPEN: 1:00PM ET

Miami Herald Endorses Marco Rubio For President

Miami Herald Endorses Marco Rubio For President

"The nominee should be the candidate who wins the hearts and votes of Republican rank-and-file members, not someone the 'establishment' anoints. The only way the nominee can win in November is by unifying the GOP and appealing to Democrats and independents. The best candidate to fill that role is Sen. Marco Rubio."

In Florida primary: Marco Rubio best candidate to unite GOP
Miami Herald Editorial Board

As the pivotal Florida primary on March 15 draws near, Floridians should not be stampeded into thinking that it’s all over. In the Republican race, in particular, they have an opportunity to change the course of a deeply discouraging — even embarrassing — campaign narrative by boosting the chances of native son Marco Rubio, the best remaining candidate with a mostly positive message and a practical chance to win the nomination.

Donald Trump would have voters believe his campaign has gained unstoppable momentum, but a deeper look raises doubt.
Despite the big wins, Mr. Trump is not yet on track to secure the nomination, according to a delegate count by the Associated Press. Thirty-five states have yet to be heard from. His negatives remain very high, especially among important sectors of the electorate (80 percent negative among Latinos). In seven of the states up for grabs on Super Tuesday, he received no more than 35 percent.

Two of the states that haven’t voted yet are particularly important: Florida and Ohio, the nation’s biggest swing states, crucial for candidates who want to win the ultimate showdown in November. Both states still have a favorite son in the GOP race. Ohio Gov. John Kasich has remained above the fray throughout, avoiding the taunts and invective, but his poor showing in nearly every race makes him the longest of long shots.

Floridians have a better practical option close to home.
When we recommended Mr. Rubio for the U.S. Senate in 2010, we underlined “the potential to be the kind of statesman Floridians can be proud to call a native son.”
...

Forget about a brokered convention or a “stop Trump” movement. The nominee should be the candidate who wins the hearts and votes of Republican rank-and-file members, not someone the “establishment” anoints. The only way the nominee can win in November is by unifying the GOP and appealing to Democrats and independents.
The best candidate to fill that role is Sen. Marco Rubio.

Governor Susana Martinez To Endorse Marco Rubio For President

Governor Susana Martinez To Endorse Marco Rubio For President

This morning, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez announced that she plans to campaign with Marco Rubio in Kansas and Florida on Friday and Saturday and will endorse him for president. Martinez currently serves as the 31st Governor of New Mexico and is the Chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association. Governor Martinez is the first Hispanic female governor in our nation's history and the first female governor in New Mexico history. Governor Martinez is joining a growing group of conservative leaders from across the country in endorsing Marco.

Governor Martinez issued the following statement:

"Marco Rubio is a compelling leader who can unite the country around conservative principles that will improve the lives of all Americans. The stakes for our great country are too high -- and the differences between the candidates too great -- for me to remain neutral in this race. I wholeheartedly trust Marco to keep us safe and ensure a better tomorrow, and I look forward to campaigning with him later this week."
