HEMMER: “Alex, good morning to you. The strategy on behalf of Rubio. Is there evidence you can point to specifically that it is working?”

CONANT: “ Sure. Virginia. That's a state where we were down 20 points five days before the primary, then we had the debate and went on offense against Donald Trump, and we tied him in the delegate count. we did that in five days. now we are on a sustained offense against Donald Trump and I think it's having an impact. We got a throng way to go.”

HEMMER: “Trump would argue you won the caucus in Minnesota.”

CONANT: “Here is the good news for our campaign. We effective live fived him in the delegate count. Here is the good news for our campaign. 9 states moving forward look a lot more like Minnesota and Virginia than Texas, Alabama and places where Cruz and Trump did well. We feel optimistic moving forward. We'll win the Florida primary next week.”
