Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is finally getting off the sidelines to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), in a final effort to defeat Donald Trump after the billionaire took early states in New Hampshire and South Carolina by storm.

According to the Huffington Post’s Scott Conroy, Romney had been waiting for Jeb Bush to exit the race before endorsing Rubio citing “respect" for the former Florida governor.

Brilliant. Remind everybody of why they are so pissed off in the first place. If I were Marco, I would do my best to hide this endorsement.

Kiss of death...

Mitt, bless his heart, is a good and generous soul, but the fire was just never there. Rubio still has a long (and probably) illustrious career ahead of him, which may lead to great fortune, but its path shall not be through THIS Presidential race. Relatively young (about 45, maybe), he still has a few more bites at the apple, and probably a LOT of honing of his message.

But, not quite ready for prime time.

Anyone notice how low key and quiet McLame has been lately?
He’s been reading the TEA leaves lately and knows the score.
Time to primary his ash outta there you Arizonans.

This will keep Rubio and Cruz in the cage fight for another few rounds, until one or the other collapses. The question then becomes, who gets the loser's endorsement? Oh, and who *cares* who gets the loser's endorsement? /smirk

Well if Mitt “I am a gun owner and I did not sign an assault weapons bill” Romney says it’s Rubio then that’s who I vote for! I’ve been waiting for MONTHS for direction!

I don't think that is going to "help" Marco Rubio ... And Romney should understand that by now, unless he has an ego even larger than Bush and Trump's.

Hopefully, that will be the kiss of death for the amnesty pimp’s campaign.

Robot endorses Robot.

As I’ve been saying for weeks now RUBIO is the threat! The Establishment are going to be KNIVES OUT on Ted Cruz now, just watch. They want to clear the field for their guy and will be gunning for Cruz with everything they got.

Having Romney is nice but Rubio needs McCain and Dole to endorse him to put him over the top and sweep it all.

Snort.

In addition to being an amnesty advocate, there’s something strange about Rubio that hasn’t yet revealed itself. Misuse of FL GOP credit card, rumors of homosexuality makes one wonder if there are other skeletons in the closet. If so, it’s certain the ‘RATS & LSM have the info or will discover it.

Who would have seen this coming. /s

My God it will totally change this election. /s

Cruz and Trump are considering quiting after not getting the titular RINO/GOPer head’s blessing. /s

Bush took himself off the Romney table so Rubio is the obvious next best most appropriate.
