What a good moderate republican Marco has become! His 2010 righteous indignation against corruption and government power has been totally eliminated. He's now a take the high road and maintain establishment power republican.

Thank God he's not the nominee.

I regret having ever lifted a finger to help get Rubio elected in ‘10! Spent a lot of time with him on the trail and he betrayed me, and every Florida voter, with his capitulation to the D.C. elites! I’m seriously thinking about voting for Murphy....

I hope it was done by a foreign intelligence agency, if that’s true, cutting off Assange internet would be silly futile effort.

An effort by a foreign government?

There's NO proof of that.

What we have is the FBI and DHS (which have chosen sides), both which come under an administration which has chosen sides . . . making the claim the leaks are at the hand of a foreign government, without releasing any verifiable evidence of foreign actors or direction.

Rubio courting Democrats rather than defend his fellow Republicans. Disgusting. No way I vote for this traitor. Ever

I don’t recall the media having a blackout of the illegally taped phonecall between Newt Gingrich and his lawyer.

The last I heard, we had nothing to fear from the NSA sniffing all of our conversations... if we have nothing to hide. Strange that same thinking doesn’t apply to our political “betters.”

Rubio tells ABC news. "Further, I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks: Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us."

At least he is willing to admit they're crooks too.

The little rat just lost two votes over this. We watched the debate the other night as he tried to dance on the line of constantly criticizing Trump (taking the bait from Murphy and Karl and the other questioners), but not formally un-endorsing Trump.

This BS is a bridge too far. Bye bye punk.

Rubio’s purpose (of this comment) needs to be examined. Thoroughly.

Just a small reflection of how this country is going down the drain - while a significant segment of the citizens want to fight back hard, then we have these Do-Nothing “Our Betters” too happy to beg for crumbs at the gubmint trove.

If Floridians want this gormless twit to represent them, go ahead.

Unbelievable. Rubio would have been yet another GOP sissy boy nominee, he would have collapsed at the first grip of pain from Hillary. Donald Trump is a warrior, a fighter, a brawler and a gladiator. This is who we need in the White House, this is who we need to defeat Hillary.

Rubio is saying he is as corrupt as Hillary.

The question is, who sent him out to say this? The GOP-e? Schumer? Clinton campaign? Nothing should surprise us anymore....

While Rubio's reasoning may be faulted here, I would agree to the extent that Trump should not get too deeply into Wikileaks. Consider:

Note On Essential Tactics

I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.

While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.

In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.

Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:

The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.

It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.

To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.

Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."

There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

Obviously Little Rubio received a nice check. Now he can buy a better boat.
