CNN --Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Friday endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for president.

"Marco can unify our party. His optimistic message is bringing voters from across the party lines, from across different demographic groups," Jindal told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "He can unify our party. He can win this election in November."

"I think he's a principled conservative. I think he is the right guy to lead us forward," he added.

Jindal, who also was a candidate for president until he dropped his campaign in November, also said he was impressed by Rubio's foreign policy.

"Marco's been consistent about strengthening America's foreign policy," Jindal said. "Marco's consistently stood up to the threat of ISIS, radical Islam."

Not sure CNN is a reputable source. Better confirm that.

After all that harping on Trump, you throw your support to the establishment candidate? Say it isn’t so, Bobby!

Those who support Trump instead of Cruz

... are going to get Rubio.

Count on it.

(Cue the whining that there’s no difference, etc.)

Bad move, Jindal.

What I dislike most about Rubio is that he is dishonest. But not only that, he is the anti-republican. He thinks it is fine to trick voters. He sells himself one way, right away sells out (Gang of 8), then has the gall to flip back while campaigning for higher office.

And this from ConservativeReview.com: “Following the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage in all 50 states, Rubio offered a disappointing response acceding all power to the Court and advocated moving on from defining marriage as one man and one woman. “While I disagree with this decision, we live in a republic and must abide by the law. As we look ahead, it must be a priority of the next president to nominate judges and justices committed to applying the Constitution as written and originally understood.” (Rubio.Senate.gov) - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/2016-presidential-candidates/candidates/marco-rubio#article-12

Ah, yes, it must be time for everybody to coalesce around an establishment candidate, the way they did around Romney in 2012.
