Adelson said warming to presidential hopeful Rubio

There are two main attributes Rubio possesses that could prevent a win for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, Klein said.

No, the Republican presidential candidate isn’t skipping the debate to tune in to the Mets-Dodgers baseball playoff game or to see who Adam Levine and Shelton select on “The Voice”. Those briefed on the meeting described it as short but said it had an air of importance, with the two joined by Rubio’s campaign manager, Terry Sullivan, and a pair of senior Adelson advisers, Rob Goldstein and Patrick Dumont.

The criticism came hours after Rubio called Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate a contest over “who was going to give away the most free stuff”. But liberals said Rubio had effectively laid out anargument for increasing the minimum wage. However, critics hung onto Rubio’s words about the hourly wage not being enough to live on and ran with it.

“Marco Rubio admits working families aren’t paid almost enough but he has repeatedly stood in the way of giving families a raise”. “If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy – more free stuff”, Mitt Romney told a crowd of donors after a rough outing before the NAACP’s national convention.

“Free college education, free college education for people illegally in this country, free health care, free everything”, he continued. Their answer to every problem in America is a government program and a tax increase. He said Rubio’s personal story and campaign platform appeals to young voters, Hispanics and Jewish-Americans. Rubio faces an uphill battle against the far wealthier Jeb Bush campaign, with its longstanding Bush family connections and a second-quarter fundraising draw of a few $100 million, more than twice that of Rubio’s campaign.
