(RNS) — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has tried three religions for the right spiritual fit.
But now, as he now pushes to prove he's the right electoral fit for the GOP presidential nomination, he's assuring Christians, "There's only one savior and it's not me. "It's Jesus Christ who came down to Earth and died for our sins."
(RNS) — When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie entered the 2016 GOP presidential nominating race, he said, "I am now ready to fight for the people of the United States of America."
"Fight" is the operative word. In one debate after another, Christie set out to establish himself as the toughest guy out there on security, immigration and other hot-button issues. And after a 10th-place finish in the Iowa caucus, Christie vowed to tough it out through the New Hampshire primary (where Catholic voters are a minority ) and beyond.
