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."

Rubio locking up the important illegal alien chop shop vote.

As long as the Gang of Eight approves

Getting rid of illegals sounds pretty optimistic to me.

“Embrace the future” means about the same as “get on the right side of history”: “Advance the progressive cause by any means necessary.”

Actually just the opposite. His is the most optimistic message I have heard from any candidate for decades.

Open the borders and legalize all the illegals


Trump's campaign seems much more optimistic than Rubio's vision of America.

The GOPe strategy to split the vote so their guy could win with 30% of the vote is backfiring, due to Trump. Now he’s they guy to beat, with good appeal to independents and Dems in the open primaries, and the GOPe vote is split. I love it when their plan falls apart.

Rubio: Donald Trump won't be Republican nominee

I agree with him...if he's talking about the 2024 election.

Meanwhile, it is looking increasingly likely that Rubio won't be the nominee next year, nor will anyone but Trump. Money has to be drying up pretty fast for all of them, except maybe Cruz and Carson. YEB is cutting salaries in Florida...LOL, this was the guy who was going to have $100 million in the first month or 2 after declaring?!

Rubio definitely will not be the nominee, and I won’t vote for him ever. As for Trump, I suspect he won’t win the GOP nomination, and he’s not my top choice, but he has my vote if he is the nominee.
