Weekly Standard:
Florida senator Marco Rubio made one of his most definitive and direct statements in support of Donald Trump yet during a candidate forum this weekend, all but sloganeering the words “elect Trump”.
“We have got to come together as a party. We cannot lose to Hillary Clinton. We cannot lose the White House,” Rubio said on Saturday, reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Then came the money line: “We have to make sure that Donald wins this election.”
Rubio’s call for Republicans to rally to Trump comes after the one-time White House hopeful ripped Hillary Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in real time Thursday. “So basically [the] ‘change’ Hillary offered is same Obama agenda but with more taxes, more [regulations], and an ‘intelligence surge’, whatever that means,” he tweeted as Clinton concluded her address in Philadelphia.
He also accused the Democratic nominee of “[accepting] socialism as her cause,” upon Clinton espousing Bernie Sanders’s agenda in unambiguous terms. “Your cause is our cause,” she told the Vermont senator Thursday.
Alongside his anti-Clinton stance, however, Rubio has become more pro-Trump in recent months, even if by default. “I want to be helpful. I don’t want to be harmful, because I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president,” he told CNN in late May. “Look, my policy differences with Donald Trump, I spent 11 months talking about them.”
”Hillary’s tongue” is trending on Twitter.
Compared with other people’s tongues after a biopsy, looks like that’s what the funny hole on her tongue is.
One poster said, if it is as bad as his cancer, a vote for Hillary is an election for Kaine.
Glad Rubio put things in proper perspective and encouraged people to vote for Donald Trump.
Rubio is only for Trump now because he has decided to run for reelection. His gamble is that Trump will lose and Cruz will be blamed while Mario was “loyal” to the party.
Head start on 2020.
It’s looking to be a smart move.
Here’s an election (primary) tonight.
How’s it going for the NeverTrump guy?

Tim Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)
When you ask yourself why “Religious Purity Conservative Republicans” lose elections, all you need to see to figure it out are a couple of videos with this guy.
