Despite a landslide win in Puerto Rico’s Republican primary on Sunday, Marco Rubio is still struggling to reconnect with the kinds of voters who sent him to Capitol Hill six years ago.
Instead he has watched them fuel front-runner Donald Trump and his closest challenger to winning the GOP presidential nomination, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Rubio insists he feels “real good about the map as we move forward.”
In an interview late Sunday, the Florida senator told the Associated Press that he believes voters across the GOP spectrum want “an optimistic message of conservatism,” not just “anger and frustration.”
