Why the sudden change? The man Marco Rubio is now desperately calling a "Con Artist," he pledged to support just 12 days ago on ABC News "This Week." Rubio told George Stephanopoulos on February 14, 2016 that "I'll support the Republican Nominee because no matter who it is on that stage is going to be a better choice than Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton." . . . .

Has he said he won’t support him?
No? Then what’s the question?

Cruz should start thinking ahead. He blew it last night.

He's not savior of the world. And we're not about to fall on our knees.

There's a reason his Senate buds don't like him. He's not and orator, he's an antagonist.

Rubio’s decision to call Trump a “Con Artist” means Rubio cannot support Trump in the Fall Campaign. You can’t call a fellow-candidate a “Con Artist” and intend to support that person against the Democrats. Rubio is going scorched earth, because he believes this will either gain the nomination for himself, or pave the way for Trump’s defeat in the Fall - meaning he can run again in 2020.

Same direction as Monica Lewinsky. Down.

Regardless of what the Tumpetirs think, Trump has NOT yet been nominated,

You say that as if it's a bad thing. It's a high virtue.

“Rubio’s decision to call Trump a “Con Artist” means Rubio cannot support Trump in the Fall Campaign.”

Hmmmmm. I just saw Trump and Christie almost swapping spit on the tube. So how does that work?

“Donald’s a great guy and a good person. But I just don’t think that he’s suited to be president of the United States,” he told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren… He added: “I don’t think his temperament is suited for that and I don’t think his experience is.”

Christie Warns New Hampshire Against Voting for Trump

Briefly slipping into an impression of Mr. Trump — “We’re stupid,” he deadpanned in a throaty baritone — Mr. Christie said he empathized with voters who want to “burn Washington down.”

“But who’s going to rebuild it once it gets burned down?” Mr. Christie said. “That’s what you’ve got to think about.”

By nominating the wrong candidate, he continued, “We could wind up turning over the White House to Hillary Clinton for four more years.”

That prospect, he said, would be “like the eight years we’ve just had, except worse.”

Christie: Trump’s Muslim Immigration Ban ‘Ridiculous’

“We do not need to endorse that type of activity, nor should we,” Christie said of the proposal by his Republican presidential rival during an appearance on conservative talk radio host Michael Medved’s show. “You do not need to be banning Muslims from the country. That’s, in my view, that’s a ridiculous position and one that won’t even be productive.”

I'm not sure. Guess he just has to play it out.

If he loses Texas...and he might...I'm not sure he'll even get a second term.

I'm going back to the 18 year old Cruz...that's the real Cruz.

Then I go back to the 1988 ?? video of Trump.....he hasn't changed. He was concerned with our country back then and he's more concerned now.

Every businessman is a con artist of sorts. You wear different faces. I know because I do it. It's a two way con.

Whatever gave Rubio the idea that he could be President? I'm not sure he's even eligible. Don't think he'll ever run again.

ValJarJar obviously called Rubio and told him that he had to attack or the gay arrest record would be on the front page of the Sunday NYT.
