Donnie Wahlberg endorses Rubio
The Hill ^ | February 21, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 02/21/2016 4:26:34 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Donnie Wahlberg endorsed Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio, his campaign announced Sunday.

Wahlberg, a Massachusetts-born singer and actor, said in his endorsement the country needs a leader like the Florida senator.

"Even though we do not see eye to eye on every issue, I know that Marco is a man of principle who can be trusted to keep us safe and give each and every one of us a shot at the American Dream," Wahlberg said in a statement. He referenced Rubio's background and said the candidate will be able to unite the country.

"Marco is a humble man who has not forgotten his roots, and he will fight to make sure that where you come from does not determine how far you can go. We need a leader like Marco to inspire a new Republican party and unite our nation, and I am proud to support him for President."

The ugly brother of Marky Mark, who throws rocks at black children and blinded an Asian man with a sucker punch.

He plays a fictional character on Blue Bloods, where he served 100 tours of Iraq, & then realized “All Muslims want is food on the table and school for the children”.

Donnie DOES play the part of a hard-boiled cop perfectly though.

Rubio is like a Stepford canidate. If he malfunctions you will get, “I thought we were friends; I thought we were friends; I thought we were frineds..”

He was actually excellent in Band of Brothers as Carwood Lipton. And he gets points for marrying Jenny McCarthy...

Wow. That's a MAJOR endorsement. Looks like it's all over now for Trump and Cruz. =)

In fairness to Donnie though....

He IS from Massachusetts, and grew up in Boston (South Boston I believe, or Dorchester...).

A guy like him usually endorse a democrat, hell, IS a democrat. so you’d think if he was going to go off the reservation here, you’d think Bernie would be that guy, but he ACTUALLY endorsed a Republican! Now, Rubio is a RINO who tried to give us amnesty... But still, I like seeing celebrities actually supporting non-democrats. It is bold.

You ‘Rubes’ need not worry because I am sure that the All Powerful el Rushbo will be promoting his full throated Cabana Boy full on starting tomorrow.
