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...

I second this idea.
Don’t get all hissy on us rubes, no sense in acting like a queer out of foam.
Ready in either case!
Rubio making threats....lol
Don’t go away mad, Marco...
Rubio’s political career is over with the exception of being a lobbyist. And I’m not sure they’d want him. Who in congress would take a meeting with him?
He sure can’t come back to the real conservatives. He lied to them to get elected and they’ve dumped his sorry ass.
Make no mistake about it...it's not revenge he's after... it's a reckoning...
Reminds me of he Eric Roberts character “Paulie” in the POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. He ended up being coffee boy to Bed Bug Eddie. Perfect job for Rubio. But don’t cut off his thumb. Just cut those high heels down an inch or so.
Another job he could get would be the first transvestite on THE FIVE and he could keep his high heels so he’d really fit in.
Careful, he might take that as an invitation!
I’m calling BS on this until I see video of Rubio actually saying “Reckoning”.
Neither you nor your source, Hot Air, have provided linked audio to substantiate the claim.
Is that a threat? Is that why not many from congress have the courage to endorse the frontrunner winning over the voters in their districts? People are tired of the GOP games and will NOT be silenced and disenfranchised
Rubio can’t see over the steering wheel. (Of a roller skate)
I have a really revolutionary idea.
How about Rubio go out an get a real job?
McDonald’s may be hiring.
Or Bed Bath and Beyond may need a bubble bath salesman.
I guess we do have to give him credit for keeping us from that fate so far.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Rubio will get his “reckoning” today in FLA.
And Rubio’s political career will be finished.
Maybe he can work with Eric Cantor.
So says the loser.
Sour grapes.
Jealousy doesn’t look good on anyone.
Marco will be able to point at the exact day and time CNN called Florida for Trump and ended Marco’s political career.
My guess: 7:38 p.m. ET.
Funny. Amnesty conman Rubio is getting his reckoning today courtesy of the constituents he stabbed in the back.
