He would have survived. He would have remained in power. And it would have strengthened his hand and allowed him to send a message to the world that he had taken on the United States and still held on. In fact, it may have even rallied some in the Arab world to his side as a result of such a strike, no one's calling on air strikes on Assad now.

Hopefully there's time to still prevent a Trump nomination, which I think would fracture the party and be damaging to the conservative movement.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I think that all the gates of civility have been blown apart. We've now reached a point where everyone on both sides everyone is just saying or doing whatever they want, and you know, you can't just say or do whatever you want, this is not about political correctness. This is about rules of civility and the way a society talks to each other.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

It's getting harder every day to justify that statement to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, to my children, to my family, and to the people that support me, this country deserves better. At some point, people have to wake up here. This is really going to do damage to America.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

At the end of the day, how do you tell your people that are for you to go vote for somebody else? i'm not into a stop-Trump as much as I am be-for-Kasich movement.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I still, at this moment, continue to intend to support the Republican nominee, but (it's) getting harder every day.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I think we also have to look at the rhetoric coming from the front-runner in the presidential campaign, someone who's basically encouraged people in the audience to rough up anyone who stands up and says something he doesn't like.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

There's a broader issue in our political culture in this country. And this is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of anger and bitterness and frustration.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

We have a debate like we did two weeks ago where it gets pretty heated and people say, 'We don't like it. It's too personal. They're not talking a bout policy,'.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

When it comes to foreign policy in particular, I think last night you did see some sharp distinctions and I thought I was able to make them without calling anybody a name or going in that direction.

We don't know that. I don't know how he bases that on. by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

We don't know that. I don't know how he bases that on.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

We shouldn't be politically correct about that -- to say there is a problem with radical Islam, radical Islamic jihadists. That is a real threat to Islam and a real threat to America. But we're going to need to work with Muslims to defeat radicalization.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I don't want us to have a president that we constantly have to be explaining to our kids, 'Look, I know that's what the president did, but you shouldn't do that.' I don't want that, donald Trump -- he might have grown up the way he did, with a lot of money and going to boarding school. I can tell you this: Where I grew up, if someone keeps punching people in the face, eventually someone's going to have to stand up and punch them back.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

We will beat Donald Trump there the way we beat Charlie Crist, i have experience beating people who say they aren't who they truly are.

I didn't get into this to beat up on other candidates, I really didn't.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

And, he referred to my hands -- 'if they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee. the majority of the questions had something to do with he said or she said.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I give the governor credit, he took responsibility for what happened and he’s talked about being held responsible for it.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

This should not be a partisan issue, the way the Democrats have tried to turn this into a partisan issue – that somehow Republicans woke up in the morning and decided oh, it’s a good time to poison some kids with lead. It’s absurd. It’s outrageous.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

This is the fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party, i will go through all 50 states before we stop fighting to save the Republican Party from someone like that.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

I intend to be in this race as long as it takes to prevent someone like Donald Trump who is not a conservative and is a con man from taking over the conservative movement and the party of Reagan, i do not believe Donald Trump can get 1,237 delegates, which is what you need to become the nominee. And I will never give up the fight.
