Not planning on watching the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night?

Rubio, who spent his teen years in Nevada, is banking on his ties to the state to gain an early victory in February’s GOP caucus – the nation’s third presidential nominating contest.
Rubio assured Fox News viewers that the debate would be a “race to the left” of the Democratic party.
Last week, during a campaign swing through Las Vegas, Rubio held a meeting in Adelson’s offices at the Venetian Las Vegas, one of a number of five-star luxury casinos the billionaire mogul owns around the world. That’s no surprise. According to Politico, the nod and cash from Adelson, quote, “could come as soon as the end of the month and with it, the potential for a multi-million dollar contribution from him“.
Yesterday Politico reported that Sheldon Adelson is warming up to Senator Marco Rubio as his best hope for influencing the presidency as he did with George W. Bush. That’s what the guy’s got.
Rubio noted that Sen. Joining me right now are two MSNBC political analysts Steve Schmidt, a Republican strategist and Pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the Washington Post Eugene Robinson.

Republican presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump took a potshot at his fellow GOP contender Marco Rubio, saying the Florida senator is reeling in the donations because he’ll turn into a “puppet” who will do Big Money’s bidding. “I’m sure I’ll see the clips and the highlights”, Rubio said.
