- Marco Rubio is now planning to attend the Republican convention, and is willing to speak on behalf of the nominee Donald Trump.
- “…I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president,” was what Rubio said in regards to speaking at the convention.
- Marco has mad a complete 180 from his original campaign stance and is now considering Trump the right person for the job.
- Trump is currently receiving an astounding number of supporters, who said they will back him as the presumptive nominee.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in an interview Thursday that he will attend the Republican convention and, if asked, speak on the behalf of presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
“My sense is that I will go to the convention,” Rubio told CNN host Jake Tapper, in an interview set to air in full on Sunday. “I don’t know if I will have a role in the convention.”
Asked if he would deliver a speech on behalf of the billionaire, Rubio said: “I’d certainly. Yeah. I want to be helpful. I don’t want to be harmful because I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president.”
Rubio’s comments represent a sharp change in rhetoric from when he was on the campaign trail.
When the Florida senator was running against Trump for the nomination, he said he would “get in my pickup truck and drive around the country” if it’s what it would take to stop the real estate mogul from being elected president.
At one rally, he suggested Trump was a “lunatic” who could not be trusted with nuclear weapons. At others, he called him a “con man” who had tricked conservatives into thinking he was one of them.
Rubio is only one of the many Republicans who have warmed to Trump in recent weeks. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who supported Rubio for president, said he will back Trump earlier this month. Others, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), have also expressed support for the presumptive nominee.

I think they would make a great duo, fresh blood all the way!
VERY SMART MOVE !
MY BEST RESPECT TO MARCO ANTONIO RUBIO .
He is a very intelligent person. Give him a chance and he could become part of the Trump Train. He has a lot to give to the Trump Train if he wants to give HONESTLY. I would watch him to see if anything negative comes from him though. IF RUBIO is HONEST, he could very well become a VERY important guy to the Trump Presidency.
he his like a banner he goes in the whey that the wind blow he his a clown with nice dresses paid by the people that trust him
