Trillions of federal revenue and well use it to rebuild this military so it remains the mightiest fighting force on the face of the planet. No longer will our military be governed by political correctness. We were have a commander in chief who stands up and says to the world that we will defeat radical islamic terrorists. President willing to utter the words radical islamic terrorism. One of the most shameful aspects of the last seven years has been the president sending our fighting and men and women into combat with rules and engage rules of engagement so strict that they cannot fight, they cannot win the cannot defend themselves. Thats wrong immoral and mark my will, in january 2017, it end. We are slow to anger, but if and when military force is needed, we should use overwhelming force, kill the enemy and get out. We are 48 hours away from election day here in North Carolina. North carolina is a battleground. Right now, donald trump and i are effectively tied. We are in a connect in the state of North Carolina. Talk to the 65 70 of republicans here and at home who recognize that donald trump is not the best candidate for us to nominate against Hillary Clinton. Donald loses to Hillary Clinton if we nominate hillary, she becomes president and we lose the Supreme Court for a generation. We lose the bill of rights and our kids are buried in debt and the future is taken away. 65 to 30 of republicans who recognize that. I want to tell you that all across North Carolina and this country, what we are seeing is republicans coming together and uniting behind our campaign because our campaign is the only campaign that has beaten donald trump over and over and over again and can and will beat donald trump and win this nomination. This race started with 17 republican candidates. A fantastic diverse, dynamic, talented field and yet in the course of the race it has narrowed. At this point, there are only two candidates who have any plausible path to the 1237 delegates that it takes to become the republican nominee. So maybe some of you here or some of you at home started out supporting somebody else may be out supporting jeb bush or chris christie. Maybe its a part started supporting mike huckabee, rent paul, Carly Fiorina or ben carson. Maybe you think now of supporting marco rubio or john kasich. Everyone of those are good and honorable decent people. And ipeople i like respect yet none of them has any plausible path to beating donald trump and becoming the republican nominee. If youve been supporting somebody else let me tell you that we welcome you to our team. Ome on in the water is fine we had two election days yesterday we had the district of wyoming ind washington, d. C. There were four candidates. I have to tell you, the result didnt surprise me. If you have an election of lobbyists they vote their interests and they look at these candidates and say, this ted cruz guy, the gravy train is ending. But when you get out of washington, d. C. , when you get the reaction is just a little different. Wetate of wyoming yesterday,. On the state of wyoming. Nd we won 66 of the vote this will trump fellow, i see his name on tv. You know he got was 7. 2 . Carolina North Carolina is going to speak to the whole country tuesday. You will have a platform, you have a megaphone to speak to this nation. I want to ask anybody here to vote for me tuesday. 10 times. I am not democrat, i am not suggesting voter fraud, but if everybody here gets nine other people to come vote on tuesday, you will have voted 10 times. Maybe youre not old enough to vote. Other people to come vote tuesday you will have voted 10 times before you turn 18. That is how you win. Today we have about 40,000 votes across North Carolina. That is enough to control the outcome of this election. The men and women here, if wiest dan together that is how we win and if we stand together we will win this nomination, we will beat donald trump we will win the general election beat Hillary Clinton and turn this its not jimmy carter to give us Ronald Reagan. I am convinced the most longlasting legacy of barack obama will be a new generation of leadership in the Republican Party who stand and fight for the constitution and who stand statue filled this great nation. Nk you, and god bless you thank you guys so much for coming out today. , go ands all of you vote. Tell your friends, bring your friends and vote for him. This is the fight. The fight at the ballot box and thats how we will do it. Safe travels everyone. Tomorrow, the road to the white house coverage continues republicange of Governor John Kasich in his home state of ohio. Campaign 2016 continues on tuesday. Candidate speeches and if you are reactions begin at 7 00 p. M. Et. Taking you on the road to the white house. Now, republican president ial candidate marco rubio speaks at a Campaign Rally in his home state of florida. Also speaking at the rally is the grandson of world war ii general george patton. Hour. S just over an gentlemen, my old and one of my dearest friends, pat water patton. Here are the boots. [applause] patton. T, good afternoon. Yall have been waiting and have been so patient. I will try to expedite what you are really waiting for. I had the opportunity to spend some time with him. I am general patents grants general pattons grandson. My last name is waters because of my grandmother. A lot of people do not have all of that together. Myanted to tell you about dad and the disappointment that i experienced when one of our other candidates expressed a view of a prisoner of war. He was captured on valentines day and two years and are he was liberated. He was marched from the boot of italy to poland and then this was on foot marched to handle berg germany where he was shot the last few days of the war that did recover. Dad was not a loser, he was a winner and he went on to serve his country for 35 years with four stars. If you think he did not have a hard time, i invite you to look at this book. The print is tiny, but they were not losers. All of the prisoners of war were phenomenal people in my dad was one of those. But why am i looking at marco . You have to look at what marco is. There is integrity, knowledge, and commitment. There is so much commitment to making it stay as good as it is an senator rubio is certainly qualified in that regard. There and knows how the system works and is willing to sacrifice his life. Therandfather used to say greatest thing you can do is sacrifice your life for your country. I bought these boots to spur him on. Maybe he will take them to washington change some peoples directions. But these boots are a reminder of my grandfather general patton that when it comes to america we have to keep marching forward. Every great generation has marched forward. Backslide stop the and keep our fight to make america the greatest place in the world. I think it is the greatest price, i have traveled all over the world and i am so proud to say i am an american. In that line stand to check back in, it is great to be home. I think the most qualified and greatest possible candidate that we could have, senator marco rubio soon to be president of the United States of america. Lets hear it for marco. [applause] rubio thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. These are nice boots, arent they . And historic. I were some boots a few weeks ago and the made fun of me for them. These are nicer. Im so honored to be in the presence of these incredible heroes. The men who have served our country in uniform. One of them is my brother who lives in the army but also these other men who were fantastic and their testimony on behalf of us i know it is powerful and uplifting and im grateful to them. Its great to be with all of you. An election that is not just important for florida but for our country. Most elections are about one party versus another party. That is enough. She doesnt look at me in the same way anymore. [crowd chanting] marco marco fine, let me stay. [crowd chanting] sen. Rubio i havent even been to new hampshire. [laughter]. Hats all right im sorry. I dont know. I am still looking for the. Idden camera , most of these elections are a choice between candidates with Political Party im sorry, i dont know. I used to say that this election is a referendum on america and our identity and it is. It is a referendum on our identity as a nation and the people. Think it is also a referendum on what it means to be a conservative and a conservative in the 24th century. Conservatism was defined for me growing up i grew up in an era where Ronald Reagan was the president of the United States. It is not a coincidence that today you have multiple people in the Republican Party meeting our country and our conservative movement. Last night, governor nikki haley spoke here she is a supporter of mine, she is fantastic. Susana martinez and the mexico and bobby jindal who just finished in louisiana. Wisconsin, tim scott in North Carolina and the list goes on and on. Why are there so many young conservative leaders russian mark who is the upandcoming the crack liberal leader . Bernie sanders. What do we have in common . Ronald reagan defined for us what it meant to be a conservative and what was Ronald Reagan. He was a leader who understood that we have challenges in this country. He became president after jimmy carter and we had challenges but he didnt go to americans and say, i know you are upset at the direction of our company but i will make you even angrier and even more frustrated. He did not do that. He said i know that you are frustrated and angry and this is what is causing it and here is how we will fix it and when we do, america will be better than it has ever been. Conservatism. It defined a movement for a generation and it worked. It helped to turn this country around. It is where the phrase morning in america came from. I can say in full confidence that if Ronald Reagan had thought won the election, the soviet union might still exist and the world would be a very different place. Chooseare being asked to again what it means to be a conservative. I will tell you a troubling trend. There are those who believe it has nothing to do with principle but attitude. How angry can you get how loud can you speak that is not conservatism. The principle of limited government that we have is supposed to be small. Its that supposed to be in every aspect of our country. Haverinciple that we because addition that defines the powers of government and limits them that guarantees at the government exists not to decide our rights but protect them. The freee was of economy and Free Enterprise, the idea that our economy works best when individuals have the Economic Freedom to put their dreams and action. The prince was of a Strong National defense not because we. Ant more, but because we dont strength is an ally of peace stop these articles backed up by real and serious ideas is what conservatism means and when our nation has been in trouble for two sentries its largely when it abandons those pencils as it has done over the last seven years under the current president. We are at a time now where a lot of americans are hurting. I understand they are because these are members of my family. People that i know not just things in reading about in a book or things or read about in i have peopleicle in my family who are firefighters, teachers, nurses and they live paycheck to paycheck. If their car breaks down next week and not under warranty they are in a lot of trouble. Air conditioning goes under and they have to buy a new unit i do not how they will do it they struggle every day. They went to school to be a nurse. They went to the academy to be a firefighter. I know people that are angry because they work really hard pay their taxes, pay their mortgage on time and in a that someone elses gaming the system some of has decided it will not pay my mortgage than the bank will work with me to lower the payments but they make them every month and the bank will work with them. They know somebody who decided, i will act like i have social anxiety so i can get longterm disability even i am not disabled and then i will stay home and make extra money under the table in cash. They are giving the system so they get frustrated and they say that enough is enough. That is when Leadership Matters and says yes you are right to be angry about all of it but what we see instead is a new brand of leadership which says to people get angrier and lets take it out on these people and it is everybody elses fault ands are going wrong and the result we are now a nation where we are no longer apparently capable of activating seriously public holocene without immediately concluding that the person who disagrees with you is evil. [applause] senator rubio this cannot continue. We really want to live in a country where americans hate each other . Where people are capable of talking through an issue . This is why we have elections. Other countries fight some awards over the stuff other countries the political leaders in jail when they lose election for political retribution. In america, the worst thing that is a to happen as they run a nasty commercial about you. Im passionate about my beliefs as anybody else. There is no one wanting president or any office in this country more passionate about the things i believe it when i him. But i was a human being, as a christian, as a fellow american and saying that just because you do not worry with me on the tax rate does not make you a bad person. Just because you do not agree with me on helping the military should be does not make you evil. There has to be room for us to disagree on these things, to debate them. Thats why we have elections. We continue on the road we are on right now, we will fracture at the seams. We are images on television we have not seen on this country in this country since 1960. Images that make us look like a third world country. Some of these are professional disruptors. I do not know what was going on with this gentleman. [laughter] i thought it was a practical joke. [laughter] senator rubio but some are professional disruptors, they are hired and paid to be rude and nasty. Im not excusing that. But you have a lead contender for president telling someone in the audience to punch someone in the face, i will pay your legal bills. That is wrong if our kids did it, that is disastrous president doesnt, as words of a president have consequences. [applause] senator rubio they have consequences. They have consequences. We have to get rid of this idea that just because you are polite and makes you politically correct. Political correctness is a term that gets thrown around very loosely. Truth such a be spoken, yet be willing to speak to you but you can speak truth in a dignified manner. I believe that is critical when it comes to becoming president of the United States, because your words have consequences. When your candidate your words have consequences. The responsibility of the presidency is extraordinary. You do not have the luxury of saying anything you want, or anything that comes to mind. Whether that is true in society, it is most of all true in a position of that importance. Im here to tell you im running for president because while i know we have real challenges, i believe we can solve every single one of them. We have to do it. It will happen on its own. We have waited too long to do it, but we can do it. Americans have proven for over two centuries that we can do anything. For over two centuries americans have proven that no challenges to big for us. We put a man on the moon. We have liberated nations. We won two world war, we cured diseases. We invented the internet. Not al gore, but america. [applause] senator rubio we can do anything. There is nothing we cannot do if we set our minds to it. But we have to do it now, because were running out of time. [applause] and that is fine here to ask you for your vote. When im president of the United States we will return to follow the constitution. The constitution cannot mean whatever you want it to mean. If the constitution means whatever you want it to mean it Means Nothing at all. It Means Nothing. The constitution means whatever the people in charge of that moment means, it is a meaningless document. You become a nation of men instead of a nation of laws. [applause] the constitution means what it originally meant, and you want to change the constitution you have to get as amended through the amendment process on article five. I would love to see term limits on congress in the constitution. [applause] but you cannot have a president that has my ideas are so good, i am so why, that all you going to ignore the constitution. My ideas supersede the constitution. That is what we have now. We have a president that ignores the first amendment, or wants to. He has no right to that she believes in no right to live out the teaching of your faith. When i president , we will follow it. [applause] and that means that people will have a test to show right to say nasty things about it, and you will have the right to live out your faith in every aspect of your life and business. We will support the second amendment, saying only constitutional right to protect your families from terrorists, what have you. [applause] we will respect the 10th amendment that says that government power resides largely in the state, and the reason why it should decide largely in the state [applause] senator rubio and the reason why he should reside largely in the state is because the states are closer to you than the federal government is. If you have a problem with a state law, you know your legislators. I see some great state legislators. Senator rubio he is a great friend of mine and a great legislature. We served together. Trust me, people found us. At they did not like something that was going on, we heard from them. Try to find a bureaucrat at the department of education. Go and find someone at any federal division, they are so far removed. The federal government was never supposed to be this big, this involves. We will follow the 10 commitment and return power to the states. [applause] senator rubio i am going to prove it. On my first day in office, i am going to prove it. I am going to repeal every single one of Barack Obamas unconstitutional, executive orders. [applause] senator rubio the second thing is, we need to get away from the idea that creating jobs. I love hearing politicians say, i created 3 million jobs when i was governor. And then they say, no, private sectors. The private sector creates jobs. If you are living in the villages, that probably means you are pretty successful. You know, and even if you were an employee summer, the government did not create that job, the private sector does. How does it create the job . It is not some magical formula. Someone had access to money, are owed it, someone lent it to them, invested in them, they saved it, max out their credit cards, used their life savings, someone got a hold of some money and they said, with this money, instead of buying bars of gold or leaving it in the bank, with this money, i am going to start a business and the business works. They take the money they made from the business, and they say, i believe so much in this business, i am going to grow it. They start businesses, hire people and that is what struck the economy. What is our job in the government . To make america the easiest place in the world for people to do that. That is our job. [applause] senator rubio when i am president , what i am going to do is support policies that make it easier or the private sectors to create jobs. That is why i have a serious plan to fix the tax code. It is a disastrous mess. When you go on my website, it is not talking points, it is a real plan. Federal regulation kills jobs. Every penny you have to spend complying with federal regulations is a penny you cannot spend too higher. That is why i have a real plan to balance the budget. That is why i have a plan to save Social Security and medicare. [applause] senator rubio we talk about this talked about this at the debate. My mother is on Social Security and medicare, and ive told people, if it is bad for my mom, i am against it. Here is the great news, we do not have to make any changes to my moms Social Security and medicare. Anyone 55 or older, nothing has to change other than to make it better. I want to be honest with people, we need to stop lying to 45yearolds like myself. Our Social Security one all at the same as my parents. It will be bankrupt or we will have reformed it. Right now, according to current laws, i am supposed to retire when i am 67, that is 20 years away. I will have to retire at 68 instead. If i was in the senate, i would be one of the youngest people there. [laughter] senator rubio instead of 67, someone who is 20 something years away from retirement will have to retire at 68. If i made a lot of money because i was able to get a pair of general pattons boots and i keep them, lets make a lot of money, my Social Security check will not grow as fast. Medicare, for me, could be the option of taking my medicare money to buy into a private plan that i like better. That already exists. It is called medicare advantage. It works well for a lot of people. Is that too much to ask of my kids who are 10, 8, 16, 18 and you dont even know what medicare is . Is that too much to ask for me in exchange for these programs . My mom cannot go out and get another job. She cannot begin working at 85 years of age. It would change her benefits. If we do not do anything, there will become a day when that will happen because the program is running out of money because for years, they have stole money out of it. They were using the money to Fund Everything else, and now they find themselves in the sticks. You have two workers for every person who has retired and the mass does not add up. This is reckless. This is driving a debt that we will be for Young Americans over 23 trillion. It is immoral. Usually, in america, we do not usually touch this issue without them running the commercials. Marco rubios got to take away our Social Security and medicaid or it no i am not. You know the people who are going to take it away . The people with her eyes closed. [applause] senator rubio i wish we could. You deserve better than that. You deserve better than that. Again, it is an issue i approach personally through the eyes of my mother who is in this program. We are not doing her a favor. That is her money. All of those years she worked at kmart, a made in las vegas, every two weeks in a dictator, there was a little thing in her stub that said, we took your money out and we will give it back to you when you retire. It is her money. They are spending it. Now we need to figure out how we are going to save it so it never happens again. We will ask something from my generation. I think having to retire one year before im supposed to is not too much to ask after what my parents did for me and my family. [applause] senator rubio you want to rebuild your economy, use your energy resources. We have coal, we can use that responsibly. We have been blessed with oil, fully use it. He went to use solar, biofuels, wind energy, renewables, lets leave them, but this is nuts if we do not use our resources. We do a better than anyone in the world. You want to reintegrate Free Enterprise, get rid of obamacare with my plan that puts you in charge. [applause] senator rubio we are going to go back and limited government, reembrace Free Enterprise. Here is the one thing president needs to spend his or her time on, keeping us safe. The world is a dangerous place. I spoke of reagan a moment ago and the cold war, that was a dangerous time. We did not know it at the time, but it was actually balancing out because the soviet union and the United States had enough weapons to destroy all life on the planet, 10 times over, but neither one of them wanted to die. The sylvia did not want to die and we never did wanted to die, so no one use them. Now they have people that want to die. Now we have people that love death more than we love life. We have a big problem. You have a crazy sociopathic lunatic in north korea with nuclear weapons. He is not just weird, he is crazy. He has Nuclear Warhead and longrange missiles. He is the son of a dictator. They have never been punished, never been turned down for a date, never been told no. They were never put in timeout by the parents. I have no idea how this guys going to react under stress. The Chinese Communist party is out of control. They are taking over the most important ship embargo in the world. They are massively building up their military and catching up to us with technology. They steal hours and make it a little bit better. Then you have Vladimir Putin creating instability in the middle east. The leading candidate in the Republican Party, donald trump, said he is a strong leader. It is easy to be a strong leader when elections are rigged, when you control the press, yes, it is easy to be a strong leader and you have all of that. [applause] senator rubio there is no strength about him. He is authoritarian the kids he is not accountable to anybody. He is taking advantage of obamas weakness. They had iran governed by radical figures. He is a religious figure, not taking who believes his calling is to trigger an apocalypse so this messianic figure is his role. Radical jihadists are only spreading across the world. Isis has affiliates in over one dozen countries. They are apocalyptic. They are spreading everywhere. What has this president done in the face of all of it . He is getting our military. Who said golf . [laughter] senator rubio i would have no problem with him golfing if you rebuild our military. We will soon have the Smallest Army by the end. We will soon have the Smallest Navy have had in 100 years. We will soon have the Smallest Air Force we have ever had, ever. The Smallest Air Force we have ever had. The average age of an air force plane is 27 years old, which means the people flying the planes are younger than the planes. Not a good sign. We are gutting our military. Republicans cooperated in this when they passed the stupid sequester which i voted against. It is leaving us vulnerable and weekend. It is so unfair to our men and women in uniform. We are asking them to go into harms way, we still are. We are still asking american servicemen and women to step into harms way, but that now the but now they have to deal with less equipment and less people alongside them. This puts their lives in increased danger. That is why i am very clear with everyone. If you elect me president , we are going to undertake a reagan style rebuilding of the United States military. [applause] senator rubio when i am president , we are going to have a real war on terror. I do not like war. I do not want war. We are a peaceful people. I have young kids. That means one of them may have to fight in it. I do not want war. I have to tell you, if you do not defeat the enemies, you will have four and isis and radical islam is an enemy of peace. There is no negotiation with them. [applause] there is not. By the way, to defeat radical islam, we are going to have to work with muslims to do it, muslims that hate them as well. The king of jordan is a muslim. He is ready to fight them. [applause] senator rubio the president of egypt is a muslim and he is ready to fight them, but we need to lead on this stuff. They need to provide troops, people on the ground to fight isis, but we need to get engaged. We are the leader of the free worlds and if we do, we can defeat isis. The best intelligence agencies and the world are going to find them in the rebuilt military is going to destroy them. What happens if we catch one of them alive . They are not getting a lawyer in the right to remain silent, they are going to guantanamo. [applause] senator rubio we need to be an ally against war. Look what happened to israel. It was founded as a homeland for the jewish people after the holocaust so that never again but theyre not be a place for jewish people to live in peace, a jewish state. I also believe geopolitically it makes sense to be there ally, because while the middle east is the most unstable region of the world, there is one proamerican, Free Enterprise democracy in the middle east, the state of israel. [applause] senator rubio today, we have a president who treats the state of israel and its Prime Minister with less respect than what he gives iran. That is why at the other day at the debate, when the issue came up in donald trump said he wanted to remain neutral, i do not know if you this or not, i do not think he is antiisrael, but his policy is. How are you going to work out a deal with the Palestinian Authority who teaches fouryearold kids that it is glorious to kill jewish people . How are you going to reach a peace agreement, with the celebration of these people as great martyrs who have done a great thing, encouraging people and inciting them with violence or it i wish it was possible, but it is not. When you force israel into a negotiation that has no chance of achieving peace, you are weakening israel. I am going to be on israels side when i am president of the United States. [applause] senator rubio the world is going to know we are on israels side i first say in office, because after i am done repealing all of Barack Obamas unconstitutional executive orders, the next thing im going to do is repeal his deal with iran. I am going to cancel it. [applause] senator rubio by the way, as part of our national security, we need to take care of our veterans. I speak about this everywhere i go. As a senator from florida, literally, one out of four calls to my office, is a veteran having a hassle with the veterans administration. I want to recognize this, there are really good people at the veterans administration. I have met them. They are good. A lot of them are veterans and they care about veterans. They are frustrated because they know while they are working hard, there are bosses at the v. A. That are not doing a good job and no one is held accountable. In addition to the reallife stories we get calling in, today, calls to 58 suicide hotline go to voicemail. They go to voicemail. About one week ago, a veteran took his life. He had left a message on voicemail and they called them, they happen to a day after he took his life. No one has been held accountable for that. No one has been fired. They have the power to fire them now, because a year and half ago i passed a law along with jeff miller, a congressman from florida, the v. A. Accountability act which gave the v. A. Secretary the power to fire Senior Executives at the v. A. That were not doing a good job and they are not using it. Theyre not firing anyone. When i am president , someone will be held accountable for you know who had to deal with the hassle those protesters and the ugliness . The Police Department. Chicago Police Department and people with families at home and to go home to their kids. One of them had their head cracked open with some thoughts. Thugs. They are dealing with this every day. A story of three Police Officers being shot, one of them died. It was her first a on the job. She was a marine reserve. I think we should stop and think the Police Officers and firefighters and First Responders for what they do for our country. [applause] senator rubio as you can see, there is a lot of work to be done. We have problems. We can solve them all. I remember growing up, i said this of the debate the other night, my grandfather was a huge influence on our life or it he lived for us the first 13 years of my life before he passed away, and he would sit on the porch of our home in las vegas and he would always sit on the porch and smoked one of those three cigars he likes to, and we smoked a couple together. I have had to cut back, no, i had to give them up because my wife hates them. She does not like smoking in the house. [applause] that is unamerican. [laughter] senator rubio it is like the hardest smell to get read of. Rid of. Someone said, to get it off your breath, you can drink rum. Oh, ok. [laughter] come down to the villages. [laughter] and about 10 years, i am ready. [laughter] he was sitting on the porch, and one of the stories you told me has always stuck with me. He was a great storyteller. When he was young, one of the first jobs he had was a cigar worker in a factory. In the early days, they had to roll them by hand. The way you cap the workers entertain, is you would hire someone to read. If you people in cuba in those days new how to read, that was my grandfather. They would read a newspaper to the workers, and then when they were finished, they would read a novel. He said, i was born in 1899, sick rowing up as a child, we lived on the south side of an air force base in las vegas. All kinds of warplanes of the sky all the time. It is very busy. When i was growing up, he said, that did not happen. Remember the days after 9 11 and the snow airplanes . Imagine growing up without airplanes. They did not even exist as a kid, certainly not in cuba even years after that. Yet, one night in the summer of 1969, he watched on television, and then stepped foot on the moon. Just imagine for a young boy growing up looking at the moon, far away, to watch a human being step foot on the moon was annexed ordinary thing. It was impactful. Was an extraordinary thing. It was impactful. When he took away from it was, what can these people not do . That is the impact he took from that. [applause] senator rubio that is what we are. That is what we have always been. That is still who we are. We are still the descendents of gogetters, every single one of us. If you are an american, you are the descendent of a gogetter, the descendent of someone who refuse to accept the circumstances of their birth and came to america in search of a better life, in search of fulfilling their opportunity. You are a descendent of an immigrant, whether it is you, your parents, your greatgrandparents, you are the direct descendent of someone who live to someone else and said, i refuse to live in a place that is holding me back because god has given me the potential to be more so im going to go somewhere where they allow me to be who i am supposed to be. [applause] senator rubio or you are the descendent of pilgrims and settlers, of people who have left the old country to come here because they were persecuted, or because they wanted more. You are the descendents of pioneers, of people who do not know what was west but they went to west and they settled land no one had ever lived on before, or the descendents of slaves, of people who overcame the most evil institution of mashable and the segregation that followed and national and eccentric imaginable and the national segregation that followed. We are gogetters in our dna. That is what makes us and upwardly mobile country. What is changed is every Major Institution in society has failed us. Our Political Parties have failed us.
