Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says Donald Trump's comment that Sen. John McCain is not a war hero should disqualify him from the 2016 presidential race.
"It's not just absurd, it's offensive. It's ridiculous. And I do think it's a disqualifier as commander-in-chief," Rubio said in an interview Sunday with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
The Florida senator was the latest Republican White House contender to hit Trump after the real estate mogul said Saturday that McCain "is not a war hero" because he was captured and held prisoner in Vietnam.
"He is a war hero because he was captured," Trump said. "I like people that weren't captured, OK?"
He walked back those comments on Twitter later, saying that "captured or not, all our soldiers are heroes!" But opponents who'd been looking for openings to criticize Trump were already piling on.

Rubio doesn’t see John for what he has been, so Rubio is disqualified.
Hey Rubio, why don’t you take your drug dealing siblings and join your parents in returning to Cuba?
He wishes. Rubio should drop out...of sight.
....so is enabling Iran to get ‘the bomb’ and doing an end-run around the Constitution to do it.
Nuance doesn’t cut it anymore.
NO WAY!
LOL Rubio wishes.
Perry, Rubio and most of the others are running for a cabinet position. They KNOW they won’t be hired by Trump.
I think it would be fun to see Trump tell a cabinet member that turned out to be a fraud “You’re fired!”
Hey Rubio, you want to know what disqualifies YOU from becoming President..your support for illegals and giving them Amnesty. These GOP elitists who are trashing Trump are only doing it because he is a threat to them, and the media is only sucking up to McCain like they did in 2008 because they need McCain to help destroy Trump, once that is done they will go back to bashing every single Republican because the media knows that if a leftist Republican is the nominee, Hillary Clinton wins easily
They wish...
Our federal government is supposed to protect us from outside invaders so we can safely go on with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
At least Trump is raising this issue and showing the RINOs for who they are.
Someone yesterday said on TV that Trump is a snow ploy for Cruz...Trump will crash through the walls and then move over for Cruz. If this is how it works out find with me.
The busboy speaks !
Shut up, Marco - and get those tables cleared off rapidamente, pendejo.
Oh, dear Rubio....your love for law-breakers, including your glorificatiion of sodomy to little children, is diabolical and pushing satanic, socialist ethics.
You need to drop out....you have satanic ethics, which are antithetical to Just Law: Right Reason according to Natural Law (Higher Law/God’s).
You do realize that in Western Cvi, Justice is the Queen of Virtue and ALL JUST LAW promotes “public Virtue” ONLY, as Montesquieu and Justice Marshall and all Founders knew was essential to free Republics.
We have Rule of Law here based on Truth/God/Science, that you want to replace with Rule of Man (Stalin’s irrational Constitution where radical egalitarianism makes males and females interchangeable, like cogs in a wheel).
LOL!
Stupid Republicans. They can’t beat up on Obama who needs beating up on politically instead they beat up on each other when will they get wise?
Rubio is such a putz.
IMHO Rubio’s push for AMNESTY disqualifies him right off the bat.
Illegal immigration is Rubio and Bush’s disqualifier.
GOPe can go to hell, and take their Butt-Buddies of the RAT Party with them!
and probably not even then.
All running scared, they’ve gotta keep Trump out of the debates and take back control of the narrative.
