Rubio: There will be a “reckoning” for conservatives who support Trump
Hot Air ^ | March 14, 2016

Posted on 03/15/2016 2:42:14 AM PDT by The Heavyset Viking

Via BuzzFeed, between this and Saturday's viral video, it's now crystal clear that this guy is going #NeverTrump. Not today, but soon. I wouldn't even rule out him doing it tomorrow night in his concession speech. I mentioned this in the Florida post but it's worth repeating: Rubio's likely to have a major dilemma on his hands a few months from now. His campaign will end this week; even if he signs on with Cruz, it may be too late to stop Trump. If Trump is the nominee, he'll have to decide whether to speak out this summer and fall against supporting Trump or to get out of the way and quietly watch as the party goes in whatever direction it's headed. Clearly he wants to speak out as a matter of conscience. But if he does, he's putting his political career at risk. If Trump wins, Rubio will be on the outs as a traitor to the new GOP; if Trump loses, Rubio will be blamed for having helped cost the GOP the presidency. Either outcome makes it much harder for him to run for governor in two years, and that was already looking to be a heavy lift given tomorrow night's likely outcome. If Rubio's going to be an active #NeverTrumper -- and no one in America has been more eloquent for that cause over the past 72 hours than he has -- he may have to do it at the price of ever again holding elected office. Is he willing to pay that price? Trumpers may face a reckoning eventually. Rubio will face one more suddenly...

Looking forward to his loser speech.

Will he exercise some semblance of class, or just be an ass.

I hope he doesn’t upset the communist mob, as he has admitted that they do have a right to violence if his words upset them.

Rubio can KMA.

We’ve had our “reckoning” for the past 6 years.

It’s our turn.

The establishment will now have its reckoning.

Will this “reckoning” be worse than how they have treated us for the thirty years?

Reckoning indeed! Hopefully just at the ballot box. Elsewhere if necessary.

If his top priority is defeating Trump ‘for the good of the party’, he should have dropped out and endorsed Cruz a month ago instead of siphoning off votes for his own ego. If had done that, Cruz would be leading in delegates right now.

The reckoning will be for those that supported this ineligible anchor baby born to Cuban foreign nationals.

RUBIO IS DONE POLITICALLY.

We can blame him and his voters for not withdrawing.

I think Mr. Rubio has a very promising career ahead of him beginning in Jan 2017 -

The Trump people will need someone to oversee the valet parking at the White House. He’ll be parking a few cars himself if everything goes right!

He’ll be perfect for the job. Congratulations Marco - good luck on your new career; we know you’ll do well...

Kinda like the reckoning for pro-amnesty RINOs who run as true conservatives, Rube?

I can’t wait to see how badly Rubio loses today. I saw a “Florida is Rubio Country” sign the yesterday and had to laugh—one sign in an area that launched his career. If he’s lucky, his next speeches will end with “for the people.”

Soon coming to a swimming pool near you.

New Game - Marco Rubio

One player is chosen as “It”. This player closes his/her eyes and tries to find and tag the other players without the use of vision. The player who is “It” shouts “Marco” and the other players must respond by shouting “Rubio”, which “It” uses to try to acoustically locate them. If a player is tagged, then that player becomes “It”.[3]

The game can also be played on land, with slightly modified rules, or played with the addition of rules from Fish out of Water and others. It is similar to Blind man’s buff where one person is blindfolded while others choose hiding places around the room.

The reckoning that is coming is for all the feckless multi-national politicians who have been betraying the citizens.
