Rubio to campaign 'as long as it takes' to beat Trump
Politico ^ | 2/27/16 | ELI STOKOLS

KENNESAW, Ga. — Marco Rubio continued his all-out assault on Donald Trump here Saturday and vowed to remain in the race as long as it takes to stop the businessman from winning the Republican nomination.

“I will do whatever it takes, I will campaign as long as it takes,” the Florida senator told a crowd of more than 7,000 people who encircled him on the sidelines of a high-school football field. “Donald Trump, a con artist, will never get control of this party.”

Rubio, still looking to consolidate the anti-Trump vote and to make this five-way fight a two-man race, faces the prospect of the real-estate magnate and party front-runner winning Georgia and most of the southern states that go to the polls on Tuesday — and himself emerging from “Super Tuesday” still not having won a state.

LOL. A rented mule will fare much better than Rubio here in Florida. Trump said he couldnt win dogcatcher and is hated in Florida. Trump is right.

Wait! Don’t tell me! OK. Got it now. This is an updated version of Zeno’s Paradox, right? Only with a Cuban midget who talks REALLY fast and sweats a lot?

The little lightweight won’t win his home state. He looked like a fool today trying to scrap on Trump. He is trying to be Trump now and it’s pathetic.

loses Florida.

I saw a clip of Frank Luntz's typically pro-Rubio focus groups, and even THEY said that if Trump decimates the field on Super Tuesday that others should get out of the race.

If The Memorizer Bunny loses Florida by the margin polls are showing, he has no reason to stay other than shenanigans at the convention.

The Cheap Labor Express still expects the RNC to produce the amnesty candidate they paid for.

They have gotten one in every election since the last amnesty.

Rube: "I will do whatever it takes, I will campaign as long as it takes.."

Given the fact that he's lazy and unwilling to show up for work, don't hold your breath.

Oh , I forgot , it’s ok in America today, for our Prez candidates to attend gatherings of naked men , immersed in warm foam and rubbing each others erections ....

U.S. Military ; are you tracking this stuff ?

"“Donald Trump, a con artist...”

When leftist name callers, and we're beginning to see it with the hate-trump crowd, start name calling out of control, you ask yourself 'why that particular name'. Invariably, you find that when they reach into their internal name bucket for a name, that bucket is filled with names they know apply to themselves.

There are a million things you can call Trump that apply. Con artist just doens't stick, or even belong in the room. So you aks 'where did that come from' ... it comes from the name callers knowledge of himself.

Rubio more than any other candidate in history, perhaps even Obama -> sold out more completely and faster, sold out every future ability to make his own choices -> to be the E's front man / con man.

I suspect he will be gone entirely from the political scene in 3 years.

In 15 years, he'll be on one of those 'what ever became of that child actor' shows.

The con artists are the GOPe (conservatives) that have been conning the base for years. We will no longer support their lies. Rubio was elected espousing one position and turned around quickly and helped author and support the Gang of eight. When that failed he said he was bored with the Senate after less than one term and instead would run for President.

Ted Cruz is more principled but still sold his support to McConnell for permission to run for President, true GOPe form, and he promised not to oppose RINO Senators in 2014. He sold his support to McConnell for TPA and the Corker bill only to find out he had been lied to once again.

Cruz just does not have the judgement nor strength to fight the GOPe.

Yay for the GOPe team!!

Trump is even smoking out the closet GOPe supporters here.

I've seen posters that want amnesty over Trump, sad.

Somebody must have met with Rubio and put a lot of pressure on him. He’s bought and paid for.

The democrat politicians keep their promises to their voters.

Seems like the GOPe also helps with keeping the promises to the democrat voters.

Who is for us? GO TRUMP!

“Spoken like a typical GOP senator right before they cave. “

Dude, that is just TOO funny! (because it’s sadly true.)
