On The O'Reilly Factor Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio continued his aggressive approach in discussing the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, declaring that America simply "cannot afford" to suffer through more Clinton "drama."

Rubio ripped apart Clinton's economic policies, saying they would "make us less globally competitive," arguing, "You can’t raise taxes, increase regulations, grow your national debt, and expect to be able to compete with dozens of developed economies." 

Rubio contrasted her economically stifling policies with his own vision of strengthening America's commerce globally through growth-minded foreign policy, saying "in the 21st century, global commerce matters more than ever," adding, "We cannot allow any nation on earth to control shipping lanes, airspace, the cyberspace, outer space for that matter."

But perhaps the most memorable moment was when O'Reilly asked Rubio if he would address the issue of Hillary's dishonesty:

RUBIO: We don’t need any drama in the White House at this incredible hinge moment in our history. You’re going to have a pack in the White House, two people who have been — everywhere they go, bring drama with them. This country cannot afford another eight years of a soap opera.

This week Rubio has laid out his foreign policy platform, and his clarity of vision has earned him much praise, even from some left-wing outlets. Prompted by O'Reilly to address "the most important thing America has to do overseas right at this moment," Rubio provided a concise version of his agenda, which included his military, economic, and human rights priorities: 

RUBIO: Well, there’s three things that should underline our foreign policy. The first is the acknowledgment that the world is a better place when America is the strongest country in the world and that’s why we need to increase our military spending, get rid of this horrible reductions that we’ve seen, and also our intelligence capabilities, they have to be robust. It is important that we re-authorize the Patriot Act. Second, is America’s foreign policy needs to keep in mind that, in the 21st century, global commerce matters more than ever. We cannot allow any nation on earth to control shipping lanes, airspace, the cyberspace, outer space for that matter. And the third is, our foreign policy should always be be built on our values as a nation. We support freedom. We support nations and people who aspire to democracy. We support human rights and their respect to human rights.

O'Reilly pushed back a little, saying "we can't nation-build anymore," to which Rubio responded, "I agree." But the two also seemed to agree that about the importance of influencing other countries with "our value system."
