Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says Donald Trump's comment that Sen. John McCain is not a war hero should disqualify him from the 2016 presidential race.
"It's not just absurd, it's offensive. It's ridiculous. And I do think it's a disqualifier as commander-in-chief," Rubio said in an interview Sunday with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
The Florida senator was the latest Republican White House contender to hit Trump after the real estate mogul said Saturday that McCain "is not a war hero" because he was captured and held prisoner in Vietnam.
"He is a war hero because he was captured," Trump said. "I like people that weren't captured, OK?"
He walked back those comments on Twitter later, saying that "captured or not, all our soldiers are heroes!" But opponents who'd been looking for openings to criticize Trump were already piling on.

So is illegal immigration.
Juan is my Gang of Eight sugar daddy! How dare that bad man attack him!
And your betrayal on illegal immigration is yours.
I think being a turncoat douchecanoe disqualifies idiots like Rubio.
Go away little one.
Wishful thinking senior amnesty.
Wishful thinking senior amnesty.
Trump is resonating because he has all the right RINO/Liberal/PC enemies, and he is collecting more of them all the time.
The more they pile onto him, the stronger he is going to get.
The apology community demands more apologies from the mentally ill crazies who support Trump.
Trump will go down, but he’s gonna take all the milquetoasts down with him.
Rubio is again proving he’s nothing but a little weasel.

Disqualified? i thought this clown was talking about himself? Man, it must be hard talking about someone else when your base is generally full of illegals who hate whitey..
This is from Marco Rubio, one of Trump’s opponents, and therefore a valid go-to source for objective analysis.
Rubio - what a putz loser authoritarian to try and set the rules for whom may volunteer to represent the U.S. at the Executive level. Seriously.
That’s just your wishful thinking Rubio, nothing more. The Donald will not be cowed into silence, like SOME PEOPLE.
Learn from him, Marco, don’t waste time trying to pin a tail on the donkey, because Donald is raising very important issues. Don’t go all ‘Miss Manners’ like Rick Perry is doing.
That Rubio (phoney supporter of Amnesty and all things Obama)
could not discriminate between what was allegedly
said, and what was actually said, shows what
a thorough loser without intellect he is.
Donald Trump is stirring up a national debate about the treatment of Veterans. The likes of Rubio and Perry are sucking up to the Chamber of Commerce and other pro-invasion entities. In a sane world, supporting the invasion of the US would be the disqualifier, if anything were.
Rubio is not qualified because he’s a liar.
