It’s clear who GOP voters want as their nominee.

Senator Rubio said today he will endorse Donald Trump if he is the nominee.

As Bill Mitchell suggested – This is not something he’d say if he’s going to endorse Ted Cruz.

The Latest: Rubio: Trump should have known GOP race rules (ORIGINAL SOURCE)



5:43 p.m.

Former presidential candidate Marco Rubio says Donald Trump’s charge that the GOP primary is “rigged” is wrong and that, despite his differences with the billionaire businessman, he would support him if he wins the party’s nomination.

In an interview on Miami radio station WIOD Wednesday, the Florida senator says Trump’s argument of a rigged primary is wrong because “he knew the rules, or should have, going in.”

As for backing him if he becomes the Republican nominee, Rubio says “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 win the Democratic nomination.

Says Rubio: “Hillary Clinton would be a disaster for America.”

Yes...
Trump making Rubio his running mate would be a good choice...Rubio can bring in a lot of votes...
The only really important position of a VP is 2nd in line for the presidency...
The VP gives speeches, make appearances, looks important...

“Looks like a Trump/Ribio ticket is shaping up.”

I will say this. I much prefer a Trump/Rubio ticker over a Trump/Kasich or Trump/Cruz ticket. A few months ago I never thought I would be saying that. After supporting Ted I have come to despise him. He has way too many Elmer Gantry characteristics.

Rubio needs to support Trump now, and he’ll preserve his future in politics.

Holy crap! This is huge. A little disconcerting, but Rubio’s delegates would be nice.

“Something very big is happening here!”

Interesting. A president who wants to build a all and a VP who will tear it down . If you are going to do this, might as well pick Kacich. At least you have a shot at Ohio.

My thoughts as well. Not only are they pulling this stunt on a two car passenger train, they are slowing way down to turn right out of the gate.

Good grief.

I would think we would ALL hold our noses and endorse Trump if he’s the nominee.

The alternative is the unbearable Hillary Clinton.

I believe so.

I also remember the first time Trump announced his candidacy.

As Rush’s show began they played a recording of Trump’s speech. All the while in the background Rush was laughing and mocking him; insinuating it was some kind of publicity stunt. Because the all-knowing, all feeling, all-everything Rush wasn’t going to be foolish enough to take this seriously.

I was infuriated! Not because Rush dissed Trump, but because he obviously was trying - right off the bat - to influence opinion on Mr. Trump.

What was that about Rush no longer carrying the water for the Republican party?

Rubio may be the ideal running mate. Together with Trump’s popularity in his second home state of Florida, they would enhance the odds of carrying The Sunshine State’s electoral votes. Trump maintains that he can put New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania in play, among others not usually available to the GOP. Having Rubio on the ticket could help deliver a few key swing states. For example, Rubio ran strong in Northern Virginia’s suburbs of D.C. and made things a little dicey for Trump on Super Tuesday. Since both demonstrated strength in Virginia, I see The Old Dominion trending back to red in November. In short, I feel Rubio could complement Trump’s appeal, although his weak stance on immigration may pose a bit of a conflict.
In any case, I much prefer Rubio on the ticket over Cruz (who I cannot tolerate) or Kasich (or espouses democratesque policies).
BTW, my first choice is California Congressman Duncan Hunter. He’s only 39 and I have been quite impressed with his speaking style. Unfortunately, California is a long shot for the GOP and that probably works against him.

Rush is not now or lately been rush,he listens to his brother and nutsy Levin too much,plus he has been dissed,dismissed,
Fired,or trashed by notable leftists like Epson,and he is searching for something to soothe his wounded ego.

Thanks for your feedback.

I haven’t listened to Rush for years.

The replies and posts here convinced me that I made the right decision not to listen to him.

Amen! They will all go with TRUMP.... They are seeing the handwriting on the wall and do not want to be left behind when he wins the nomination.... People have seen what Trump has done to Megyn Kelly. They do not want to be left behind and suffer the same fate. Trump does not forget.

Another issue to look at is the wives. Heidi that close to power could be something right out of a Shakespeare tragedy.

Trump and Rubio seem like a good fit. Rubio knows DC, has made friends there, and can be mentored. Besides that, going in with Rubio's delegates added to the total might be what's best for the US, and they're both patriotic guys.

I trust Trump to make the best decision.
