Trump: I Want to Bring Rubio Into Campaign
Newsmax ^ | 4/21/16 | Greg Richter

Posted on 04/22/2016 3:59:12 AM PDT by markomalley

GOP front-runner Donald Trump says he'd like to bring Florida Sen. Marco Rubio into his campaign as part of his effort to unify the party.

Trump already has the support of two of his vanquished foes: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

"Frankly, Marco I'd love to have involved," Trump said Thursday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity."


"This party has to unite," Trump said. "Then you're going to have the House and Senate."
Rubio dropped out of the race after losing his home state of Florida, but has yet to endorse anyone.

Trump also responded to criticism over comments he made earlier Thursday about North Carolina's law limiting transgendered people to using restrooms of the gender on their birth certificates. Commenting on backlash from businesses, other state governments and musicians to the law, Trump said people should be allowed to use the restroom of their choice.

"It's a small number, but we have to take care of everybody," he told Fox's Sean Hannity.

This has nothing to do with Cruz. However, since you brought it up, his position on immigration has always been no amnesty. In 2012, Trump said Romney's stance on the issue was too harsh. Then, he was for the deportation of illegals, but only ones with prior criminal records. Recently, he's come around to any illegal. Don't be shocked when that changes again. He's been all over the place on so many issues since 2000.

Have any of the others who were in the race said this: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat." Trump did 'way back' in 2004.

Yes it will happen. Yesterday Trumps people met with the RNC and offered to help fund the Down Ticket GOP candidates. Thats Game, set and match. Now the #neverTrump delegates get their orders to vote for Trump not Cruz on the First ballot. Its Over for Cruz.

And this is why they were co certain to get as high as 1400 on the first ballot and why the moves to unify with everybody but Cruz....

If Rubio joins, all the foam party references and male-stripper photos will be whitewashed. He will become immaculated; sanctified; washed in the blood. “One of us, one of us” and all that.

epdc spewed this lie:

“This has nothing to do with Cruz. However, since you brought it up, his position on immigration has always been no amnesty.”

Yet here he is pushing amnesty multiple times:

Of course, he wants to lock up Rubio’s delegates to put him over the top.

Kinds of gives the lie to his whole immigration stance, if he is willing to set a place at the table for Captain Amnesty just for a few delegates.

Hey everybody, check this guy out. He still thinks Rubio has “character”!

Well, I disagree profusely with this smear of him. Acting like he’s the worst person ever to run for President as a Republican while ignoring his stalwart record in the Senate is just appalling. He’s run a hardball campaign, and I guess some around here don’t have the belly for it (or will excuse it if Trump is on the offensive end of it).

Yes I know Trump is trying to kiss and make up and he's started his hard left turn back towards the middle where he's more comfortable. We'll see how that turns out.

When it was alleged that Cruz was courting Rubio, the Trump Cult called Cruz a traitor. When Donald courts Rubio, it is GREAT!

“Roofio already looks bad.”

:-)

Just to be clear - I REALLY dislike Rubio, but if Trump is going to choose between Rubio, Cruz and Kasich as his running mate - I’d have to go with Rubio. Trump can easily walk back from “Little Marco,” which is just a jab about Marco’s height, but he can’t walk back from “Lyin’ Ted,” which is an attack on Cruz’s integrity.

But, as I said, I hope that doesn’t happen and Trump comes up with a running mate which will surprise and delight his supporters. Then again - it’s politics, and Trump might need Rubio’s delegates to seal the deal against Ted.

“Trump will be offered a post in the Cruz administration as the Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce cleaning toilets, washing floors, and fetching lattes for Commerce Secretary Fiorina! Oh, that face...”

This kind of smarmy BS is part of the reason Cruzers are so beloved around here.

The big lie is that he's part of some NAU agenda. The paper linked to his wife argues AGAINST any formal union.

“North America is different from other regions of the world and must find its own cooperative route forward. A new North American community should rely more on the market and less on bureaucracy, more on pragmatic solutions to shared problems than on grand schemes of confederation or union, such as those in Europe. We must maintain respect for each other’s national sovereignty.”
