Rubio rallies Boise crowd

GOP hopeful Marco Rubio stressed his conservative credentials and religious beliefs as he urged Idahoans to back him for president at a Boise rally Sunday night, just two days before the state’s GOP primary election on Tuesday. “Idaho has a chance to restart this campaign across this country,” Rubio said, and “give our party the best chance to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election.” “And let there be no doubt that I give us the best chance to win,” Rubio said to cheers in a chilly airport hangar, filled with 2,000 supporters. “I promise you Hillary Clinton does not want to run against me. … I’m as conservative as anyone in this race.” Rubio also held a rally in Idaho Falls on Sunday, a day after Ted Cruz held an even bigger rally in Coeur d’Alene, followed by a belatedly scheduled appearance in Boise that drew 700 people/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
