Trump: I Want to Bring Rubio Into Campaign
Newsmax ^ | 4/21/16 | Greg Richter

Posted on 04/22/2016 3:59:12 AM PDT by markomalley

GOP front-runner Donald Trump says he'd like to bring Florida Sen. Marco Rubio into his campaign as part of his effort to unify the party.

Trump already has the support of two of his vanquished foes: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

"Frankly, Marco I'd love to have involved," Trump said Thursday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity."


"This party has to unite," Trump said. "Then you're going to have the House and Senate."
Rubio dropped out of the race after losing his home state of Florida, but has yet to endorse anyone.

Trump also responded to criticism over comments he made earlier Thursday about North Carolina's law limiting transgendered people to using restrooms of the gender on their birth certificates. Commenting on backlash from businesses, other state governments and musicians to the law, Trump said people should be allowed to use the restroom of their choice.

"It's a small number, but we have to take care of everybody," he told Fox's Sean Hannity.

Not even close. Cruz is our best Conservative Senator in office. Bubbles would legalize every border jumper if he had half the chance. That’s treasonous.

Read USSC decision Wong Kim Arc. It is spot on point with Rubio’s citizenship. Non NBC, born citizenship, through the 14th Amendment. Born in the US to Legally residing Alien parents.

Little Marco will be pleased to submit to further humiliation. Is Jeb going to be invited in? Probably not since Jeb has no delegates.

Trump is beginning to scare me with his transgender statement and his involving Markdown Rubio in his campaign. Rubio is a little weasel that no one needs around.

Lol, it took Trump’s transgender statement to “begin to scare” you? Geez. It is abundantly clear that the man is a blue state liberal masquerading as a conservative Republican.

Trump campaign continues to implode.

Yeah!

Any day now, his attempt at usurping the will of the American people should emulate the Titanic's only voyage.

And...and...R. Cruz is the iceberg!

I thought Rubio was controlled by the GOPe? If so, then he will simply follow his orders.

But Carly has already gone over to Cruz, so she’s out as the sole woman who was in the original R candidate mix.

Bringing in Rubio is smart. He has some straightening out to do, but has a possible political future. Maybe. Plus, he’s not running again for his Senate seat, so he’ll have more time to help this campaign. Assuming a Trump presidency Rubio can be placed in a position that would expand his experience and let him mature.

From article posted

“Rubio has been mostly silent about the race since ending his bid in March. While he has chosen not to endorse anyone in the race at this time, he spoke positively about Ted Cruz while on Mark Levin’s radio program last week, saying the GOP needed to offer up a conservative and that Cruz was the only one left.

At least he acknowledges that Trump is no conservative.”

[however he will support whoever gets the nomination...]

““I’ve always said I’m going to support the Republican nominee, and that’s especially true now that it’s apparent that Hillary Clinton is going to be the Democratic candidate,” Rubio said.”

Rubio did the honorable thing when he dropped out after losing FL. Of course lyn-Teddy and JerK are still wallowing in the GOPe's money.

If any of those candidates have any potential for rehabilitation it's Marco. I hope DT can cut a (non-VP) deal with him.

Let's take the delegates and send the rest of the pack....packing.

Does anybody advise Trump? Or does he advise his advisors?

Leaders lead, they listen, but they lead.

“Roofio is a creepy, lying weasel and puppet of the party establishment.”

Ted Cruz is even worse. At least Rubio dropped out of the race when he lost Florida. Ted Cruz has no chance and is trying to steal delegates. What a loser Ted is.

“Also doesn’t hurt that Rubio is actively helping Cruz lock up delegates. Rubio is helping in Arkansas and Minnesota.”

Ted stealing delegates against the wishes of the voters while hiding behind the bible.

Rubio as VP would not upset me. You are right that he gave a classy exit speech and went away gracefully. Even apologized for his behavior. He’s a far better choice than Kasich or Cruz.

Hey, Trump can easily get the endorsement of Lindsay Lohan or Fatima of Saudi Arabia or whatever her name will be when she converts to Islam and before she is beheaded for drinking or driving or mouthing off at her imam or screwing up the anti-personnel bombs.

He is not stealing delegates he is earning then. Cruz supporters show up at conventions and get elected to be delegates. If delegates are important to the Trump campaign, Trumps supporters should do the same thing.
