Marco's Morning Show Victory Lap
|

MARCO: I get attacked by everybody because I believe our message is one that appeals to voters across the Republican Party. And so, I think that's why ultimately I am the only one left in this race that can bring this party together quickly and then grow the conservative movement. So I've never viewed myself in a one-on-one competition with anyone on that debate stage last night. I have a message that I believe appeals to voters supporting every one of these candidates.

MARCO: I'm very proud of my debate performances consistently throughout this process and again last night. And here's the key: if I'm the nominee, I look forward to debating Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. One of the points I'm making is, I should be the nominee because not only am I as conservative as anyone running, I'm the conservative that wins. I consistently beat Hillary Clinton in poll after poll, and I think last night with the passing of Justice Scalia we are reminded of how important this election truly is, how high the stakes are, and why we must win. I am the conservative that unites the Republican Party, that grows it, that wins this election, and that begins the important
work of undoing the damage Barack Obama has done to us.

MARCO: But in the end, I'm not running against any of these other Republicans, I'm running because I want to be president of the United States. And -- but if you're attacked, I think it's important to respond. And, so if I'm attacked at a debate, I'm going to respond. And last night, as you saw, an exchange with Ted Cruz, you know, there is a situation happening now where Ted is literally saying things that aren't true habitually now in this campaign on issue after issue. You know, he's -- just in the last week, he hasn't told the truth about my position on Planned Parenthood, on marriage. He didn't tell the truth about his previous stance on
immigration. So these things have to be clarified and -- and they need to be addressed.

MARCO: The next president will have a chance to appoint somebody, and when I'm President of the United States, I'm going to look for someone like Justice Scalia. They're hard to find, but there's a lot of young jurists who have been inspired by his service and his writings, and these are the sorts of people I'd like to see on the Supreme Court.
|
|
MARCO: We're going to have an election, there's going to be a new president. I believe it's going to be me, and we're going to look for someone that most resembles Scalia to replace him.
