A dangerous, erratic, con man with the worst spray tan ever. That's how Sen. Marco Rubio described Donald Trump when they were both seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
Now that Trump is the nominee and Rubio is running for re-election, his tone is different. He is no longer criticizing Trump, but he isn't exactly gushing praise. Democrats are trying to make him look like a hypocrite for backing the man he previously said shouldn't have access to nuclear weapon codes, and for jumping back into the Senate race after he said he wouldn't.
"Sen. Rubio is actually the real con man here," said U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson for the Democratic nomination. "He said something to the effect of, 'Ten thousand times, I'm telling you I'm not going to run for the Senate again.' Well guess what? He's running for the Senate again."
But don't ask Rubio to reconcile supporting Trump with his past criticism.
"We've gone through that a million times," Rubio said at a campaign stop at a Tallahassee restaurant. "At this point we're just going to continue to focus on my race and leave the past in the past."
Last month in Panama City, Rubio said he is supporting Trump because he pledged early in the campaign to support the Republican nominee.
"There are only two people in the world that are going to be president of the United States in 2017," Rubio said. "It will either be Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. And It can't be Hillary Clinton."
Leaving his remarks in the past isn't something his opponents are willing to do. Republican developer Carlos Beruff often criticizes Rubio for not enthusiastically supporting Trump, and Murphy and Grayson are calling him out for his hypocrisy.

Well, a con man is better than Clinton, so I can't argue with him on this. LOL
Rubio is far preferable than the idiotic neverTrumpers.
It is shown that from his positions on various issues, Marco Rubio is just as much a proponent of Big Government as any other establishment politician. by Jack Kerwick, Ph.D.

Marco Rubio: No Conservative
http://www.thenewamerican.com/reviews/opinion/item/14186-marco-rubio-no-conservative
Trump for President.
Well, thinking about it, saying Trump is better than Clinton is not much of a credential....relatively speaking. (chuckle) — most people that are the same as Clinton are in prison....
Rubio should be ashamed of himself and nobody should listen to him.
The so called conservatives in congress are as useless as the 5th wheel.
Obamacare defunded?
Wall built on border?
Abortions reduced?
Planned Parenthood defunded?
ISIS defeated?
Less terror attacks worldwide by Islamists?
Less Americans on food stamps?
Americans earning less real wages than 2 decades ago?
More regulations on small business than ever?
More national debt than ever IN SPITE of US Treasury taking in more revenues than ever?
More illegals in country than ever?
These fake conservatives are ALL TALK and NO RESULTS.
I am ready for a patriotic nationalist businessman.
better than Crooked Grandma Clinton!
ABC News - first news, now socialist propaganda outlet.
Vote for CARLOS BERUFF and primary little marco...
his days of UNIPARTY RINOS should be numbered
Robot Rubio should not be given another opportunity to
“Comprehensively Screw Americans Out Of Their Country”
Ther, I said it....
“Rubio is far preferable than the idiotic neverTrumpers.”
I agree with you on that. At least he comes out in support of Trump when asked.
Poor little Marco, can’t catch a break. Maybe a bubble bath will help.
Hear!, Hear!!!!
I voted against him in the primary today. Fairly certain he will win...but I hope he barely crosses the line.
I wonder when this media outlet will repeat Obama’s statements about hilLIARy
Hey Rubio, please tell me who isn’t better than Clinton. Are you that stupid?
She belongs in prison, and I’d wager there are even a lot of folks in prison what would be preferable to her.
They don’t generally have a crime syndicate behind them.
She obviously does. For one, George Soros and company. Second, people are dropping dead around here again. Some group is facilitating that.
The sad thing is Rubio, there’s is always a mic around when you’re mouth overflows like my toilet.
Thankfully the stuff coming out of my toilet isn’t going to affect this election.
Would you please put a sock in your mouth, and set an alarm for the day after the November election.
Guys like you contribute to the idea neither candidate this year is worthy of our vote. Some folks will buy into that.
It simply isn’t true. Trump is the only guy I know of that will turn things around, at least in part. I can’t think of one other candidate that would. NOT ONE!
