Marco Rubio: I Can Beat Hillary Clinton

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) believes he can defeat Hillary Clinton should the former secretary of state decide to run for president.

"Multiple people can beat her. Hillary Clinton is not unbeatable," he said in a radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt on Friday.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, who is widely considered a presidential contender in 2016, said he would challenge Clinton on her record at the State Department.

"I would ask her the question I would ask her now: You were the secretary of state during the first four years of the Obama administration. Name one significant foreign policy achievement, now or after you left," he said.

No matter who the Democratic Candidate is, he has the best chance of winning.

BUT, I highly doubt he could beat Hillary.

I hope she has a answer because that question will be thrown at her, I hope she is ready with something better than her statement that she and Bill were broke when they left the white house.

No Secretary of State has ever had to come with "accomplishments" what a bunch of crap. You are actually buying that rw bs?

Her response should include the fact that under bush we destroyed any goodwill we had around the world and our reputation turned to Nothing . She worked diligently in attempt to undo the destruction bush and rice "accomplished"

because you know that is the type of questions she will get if she runs and judging from her answers on her book tour she seem to be a bit off her game.

The media twists everything she says, takes it out of context and gives it the most negative slant. And the "liberals" fall for it hook-line-sinker every single time.

12. I heard her interview on NPR and in my opinion her answer on gay rights was a mess

I just do not want to have another candidate who is not prepped like Obamas 1st debate in 2012. Given that her answers will be twisted then I would like her to be prepared for the obvious question we know she will get.
