Rival campaigns hope the moment was enough to give voters pause about supporting Rubio when they head to the polls on Tuesday. But a big loss to Sanders, an underdog candidate who describes himself as a democratic socialist, would be an embarrassment for Clinton.
Rubio responded by repeating several times that President Obama “knows exactly what he is doing”, seeming to confirm Christie’s critique.
On the Democratic side, Sanders held a strong poll lead over former secretary of state Clinton.

Though Bush was behind Donald Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen.
“South Carolina, we are on the way!” he exclaimed.
Despite Christie’s attacks, Rubio believes he had “a very strong debate”, and doubts it will affect people’s opinion.

“I think [the debate] was the most negative part of his campaign so far”, said Matt Kogan at a Rubio Super Bowl event in New Hampshire on Sunday.
Speaking to his supporters on Tuesday night, Bush stressed his credentials as an anti-abortion, pro-Second Amendment, small-government candidate, vowing, “I will be a conservative candidate, embracing conservative values”.
He then went on to make the continued campaign promises of building up the United States military as well as building a wall between the border of the US and Mexico.
