Marco Rubio's first TV ad offers a chilling ultimatum in the fight against ISIS: "Either they win, or we do." Skipping over the friendly introductions of a typical first presidential ad, the Florida senator delves right into his stance on what he describes as a "civilizational struggle between the values of freedom and liberty and radical Islamic terror." "What happened in Paris could happen here," Rubio says, just days after terror attacks in Paris left 130 dead. "There is no middle ground."

"These aren't disgruntled or disempowered people," Rubio continues. "These are radical terrorists who want to kill us because we let women drive, because we let girls go to school."
