Rubio remains optimistic on Super Tuesday: 'We are so excited about what lies ahead'
Although Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) had yet to win a Super Tuesday state — or any state for that matter — he remained positive that he would become president when speaking at a campaign rally in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday night. "I will campaign as long as it takes...to ensure that I'm the next president of the United States," Rubio said.
He continually attacked Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, urging Republicans to avoid giving into anger and suggesting that — thanks to his attacks — Trump is losing steam despite his numerous wins both on and prior to Super Tuesday. "What's a stake, my friends, is not just the future of America but also the future of the conservative party," Rubio said.
Rubio predicted wins to come and wrapped up the rally with a brief speech in Spanish and a nod to Puerto Rico, where Republicans vote Sunday.
