Report: Marco Rubio Edging Toward Ted Cruz Endorsement
Breitbart ^ | 3/17/2016 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 03/18/2016 5:35:23 AM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% exited the race for the Republican nomination on Tuesday, and now sources familiar with both Rubio and his rival candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% , indicate that an endorsement is in the works.

Those sources told Politico that Cruz will have to ask Rubio for the endorsement and both will have to determine if news of Rubio-endorses-Cruz will effect the outcome of the Republican presidential nomination. An anonymous adviser to the Cruz campaign, quoted in the report, revealed that conversations were going on with “Rubio’s people” and that Cruz would welcome a Rubio endorsement.

In the course of the campaign, Rubio was often criticized for an absentee presence in the Senate. Politico noted his return to work in the Capitol on Thursday. He told reporters on the Hill that he didn’t have any announcement on an endorsement “today,” while suggesting he may have one soon.

Also on Thursday, a group of never-Trump conservatives met in a closed-door meeting. Pressure may continue to increase for Rubio to endorse Cruz in an effort to block the frontrunner’s nomination.

The GOPe is for one their team members Cruz

Cruz has been the “good cop” in their bad cop good cop act. Now the masks are off as the GOpe sense a REAL threat to someone (Trump) giving the USA back to the people from their (GOPe and establishment) control.

Here's the thought I expressed after the debate when Rubio and Cruz tag-teamed against Trump. It seemed more like a coup than a campaign.

If Rubio endorses Cruz, it'll leave that same yucky feeling. We really don't need two Cubans teaming up to say don't vote for the 100% USA-first original can-do candidate. Trump is made of the same stuff most heroes in OUR history have been made of!

The endorsement from Marco at this point , would be considered a “Kiss of Death”.

Yep, sort of like getting a Bob Dole or Mitt Romney endorsement.

Yes, all of Rubio’s supporters can’t decide until he endorses. These people believe their own hype and it’s pathetic. I think it’s clear who the outsider in the race is and it’s Trump. Cruz is just unlikeable and the people in the Senate don’t like him but they know, ultimately, they can rein him in if he strays too far outside of the tent. They are afraid they won’t have control over Trump and that’s the biggest endorsement of them all

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizens, Cubans, Chihuahua Prespiration Marko and Pinocchio Desperation Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.
2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a 7 Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.
4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.
6. Phony video about Rubio - Obama.
7. 7 Mountain Dominionist Church = Christian???
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

Applies to Cruz and Rubio, both at the time not born to US citizens and on US soil.

My letter to Rubio and Cruz,

You charlatans never fooled me . Never for one second did I think that you were ever conservative or for America. You might have fooled a lot of gullible Americans you foreign demons but not this American.

Cruz go back to Canada you demon.

You may steal our money, you may take our lives, but you will never take my freedom!

Between stimulus and response I have the freedom to choose, I have the freedom to reject your lies and to know that my mind if forever free!

What's the matter with Americans of Cuban heritage?

Nothing. As long as they don't put Cuban brotherhood ahead of what's best for the US. Cruz was totally opposed to Rubio for his amnesty stand. And now he's his best buddy? The two of them tag-teamed against Trump at that debate? Neither one of them has a 100% ironclad guarantee their Natural Born Citizenship won't be an issue in the courts. When they work together, it looks like they're not putting US citizenship first.
