Sec. Rubio on GOP Election Defeat: Great Things That Last Are Built in Decades, Not Election Cycles

RUSH EXCERPT:
RUBIO: "The revolutionary spirit seem to be in collapse. In fact something not often featured in the movies and in the documentaries and perhaps even the books about this era. Thousands of Americans took British, pardons and renewed their allegiance to the crown. That’s how bad things were. Men who cheered the cause of independence only months earlier made their peace with what seem to be inevitable defeat not month. Washington wrote a letter to his brother. He said: unless something changes soon, he wrote, I think, the game’s pretty near up and he concluded his letter with this. He said it was a quote you at a distance conform, no idea of the perplexity of my situation. No man, I believe ever had a greater choice of difficulties and less means of extricating myself than I have. However, under a fool persuasion of the justice of our cause, I cannot but think the prospect will brighten, although for wise purposes, it is at present. Hidden under a cloud. Well, he was ultimately right. Five years later, Washington and we acknowledge- is French allies surrounded the British army at yorktown cornwallis surrendered. The revolution prevailed. In a nation was born. We have much more to do over the next to the next six, the next 20 years. Great things that last are built in decades, not election cycles, there will be more victories and there will be more defeats. There will be more triumphs and there will be more disappointments."
