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.

Although I support Cruz, I will vote for Trump in the general. However, if he picks an unreliable weasel RINO like Bubbles Roofio, I will strongly consider voting 3rd party again like I did in 2012. We absolutely need an unapologetic Conservative in as #2, and Bubbles would fall all over himself to legalize all the border jumpers from coast to coast (it would also seriously call into question Trump’s commitment on securing our borders).

The reality is that Trump is an ideological weathervane and will massively disappoint.

Why do so many support Cruz for Supreme Court?

1. I don’t think he could be confirmed.

2. I don’t trust him.

I really can’t stand Kasick. Rubio is a little better.

It stopped being possible when Cruz doing anything to achieve power became evident. Trump does not want to end up like JFK.

LOL,

1. They call you an “extremist, radical, racist, Teabagger, heartless capitalist, or FoxNews cultist.”

Cruz tweeted his support of mass legalization to his own followers/supporters. Legalization is amnesty.

Oh, this is just too rich! Now, Trump, after mercilessly insulting virtually every one of his competitors, wants to “bring in” “little Marco”??!! Be a good little boy and kiss up to the great Trump.

I don't think he would have liked seeing some freak using the same bathroom as Ivanka when she was a little girl.

Do you really think Ivanka has ever used a public bathroom?

The man has no shame...

To be honest, how many candidates have you known that actually displayed a sense of shame?

Some would point to this comment as a marker of how Trump is learning to play the political game. I recall no candidate since Reagan who was above these types of statements and attempts at building his network - and I was young enough in 1980 that I can't definitively say Reagan didn't play this game, as well.

When it was alleged that Cruz was courting Rubio, the Trump Cult called Cruz a traitor. When Donald courts Rubio, it is GREAT!


Rules D@mn it. Rules.

“Politics is filled with mutual attacks. It’s how the system works....and it’s always been that way.”
___________________

Agreed, politics is combat, but Trump has personalized this race in a very corrosive way! When Trump screamed non-stop that Jeb was a “low-energy, failed governor of Florida”, he should not then expect Jeb to kindly fall in line with the Trump candidacy after such personal insults. Same thing with many other candidates like “Little Marco” and his supporters!

That’s why Trump’s unfavorables are so extremely high, why ~65% of Republican voters don’t want him, and why Hillary will beat him like a drum in November!

That’s why Mr. Manafort (Trump’s new Paulie Walnuts political thug) is out there today saying that the Trump persona will soon “evolve” into behaving more like a President! Please....

What did Sarah Palin once say? You can’t put lipstick on a pig!

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

True. But as crrepy, lying weasl puppets go, he a little better than Cruz.

Cruz is an honorable man and a great Senator.

Sadly, he chose to run when the circus (Trump) came to town. Cruz is an issues man and issues have NOT been discussed in this campaign. Trump is on every side of every issue. Just look at the Today show controversy, yesterday morning he says one thing, then in the evening it’s another. Expect the same if he’s president. Gonna be a LONG 4 years my friend.

Trump’s strong suit is negotiation. He is now starting the reconciliation stage of his campaign. I see Manafort rubbing his hands together anticipating Rubio’s 177 delegates in Trumps pocket. Then they can tell Cruz and Kasich to suck eggs. Rubio is going to need a job as he is leaving the senate.
