Kevin McCarthy: ‘If Rubio Can’t Win Florida, It’s Pretty Difficult’
SCARBOROUGH: “So, can you name as — what state can Ted Cruz win?”
MCCARTHY: “Texas.”
SCARBOROUGH: “But he’s not even sure he can win Texas.”
MCCARTHY: “I think this race is going to really come to fruition March 15. It’s winner take all. If Rubio can’t win Florida, I think it’s pretty difficult.”
SCARBOROUGH: “It’s over, yeah.”
MCCARTHY: “Momentum matters at this time. You were right about money, you can’t get it fast enough. You got to do things differently. And the person with — who spent the least amount of money is leading right now. So you’ve got to think differently how you go about doing this?”
CONFESSORE: “So if you’re a down-ballot Republican, which of these candidates do you want at the top of the ticket in the fall?”
MCCARTHY: “Well, depends. If I’m a down-candidate Republican in Miami I want Rubio. If I’m wanting to get independents and others they’re it’s going to say that Trump can bring you some of those. It’s an all different play of where you are. Look, I think a lot of things are going to play into this race before we get there. A lot of people never thought that Trump could become the nominee but he can. You got to get your head around that. In the House we have a responsibility, we’ve got to go lay out our agenda. And our agenda anybody could capture that agenda and run with it.” [crosstalk]
