Rubio: Donald Trump won't be Republican nominee

ORFORD, N.H. (AP) - Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says Donald Trump will not be the Republican presidential nominee because his message is not an optimistic one.

Rubio has largely shied away from taking on Trump, the billionaire businessman sitting atop polls of the Republican rivals.

In recent weeks, candidates such as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have started to go head-to-head with Trump. Rubio's criticisms Wednesday were measured, even when asked about Trump's comment that Rubio is "disloyal" and "disrespectful" for running against Bush, who was Rubio's mentor in Florida politics.

"I think our nominee is going to be someone that embraces the future, that understands the opportunities before us, that's optimistic but realistic about the challenges before us," Rubio told reporters after a meet-and-greet event in New Hampshire's North Country.

"I'm running for president, I'm not running against anybody," Rubio said. "I'll continue to talk about my message."

The thing that IS OPTIMISTIC about Trump is that, for once, someone GETS IT as to the issues and political crap that has been pissing us all off FOR YEARs.

(hope that is not offensive to you)

It gives many of us GREAT HOPE to think that someone understands how the “silent majority” has been crapped on for the last several election cycles.

Maybe the “Gang of Eight” should start calling themselves the “Gang of Hate.”

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says Donald Trump will not be the Republican presidential nominee because his message is not an optimistic one.

You're right Marco, it's not an optimistic message to ................illegals. But then they're not supposed have a right in making the choice.

Maybe, maybe not Marco. The best way to ensure that though is to get out and endorse someone now Marco, because you’re not going to win it either.

The president has failed us, the congress has failed us, and the media has...well, they are just purveyors of liberal propaganda, and we are fed up with all of them. Trump has given voice to our frustrations. He exposes all these politically correct, pathetic clowns for what they are.

Trump is willing to take them all on. Yes he’s bombastic and brash, but there is no way a meek and weak politician can change things for the better. We need the political equivalent of George Patton to lead us (another leader who didn’t give a damn about political correctness).

Yes, he dared say that “Speaking to a small crowd outside an auto body shop.” What a joke. Stabbed Bush in the back. Good for Trump to stand up for Bush even when he is too big a wimp to do so himself.

He’ll be our first third-party POTUS after the GOP screws with the rules to force him out. That’s what Marco meant to say.

Rubio got stuck in his past...and became a one issue candidate. I think he’s a good guy...and works well with others....but....

Rubio won’t be President or a Senator after November 2016.

He will run a taco stand on the border.

“Rubio need to spend at least a decade in the Senate to rebuild trust. He blew it when he lied to his voters”

NO! He needs to be gone! The idea of anyone holding a job in either House of the Congress for that length of time should be repugnant to all of us! It’s why we’re where we are today.

Trump stuffed Ramos like a piñata.

It was Trumps best moment since he entered the race.
