Marco Rubio: I Won't Tell Newt to Drop Out
NewsMax ^ | 031812 | NewsMax Wire

Posted on 03/18/2012 9:10:06 PM PDT by Fred

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading vice presidential favorite for many Republicans, says he doesn’t think that Newt Gingrich or anybody else should be told to quit the contentious GOP presidential race.

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Rubio said he’s not concerned about presidential process dragging on too long, and that the election will be “reframed” once the Republicans have their candidate.

“I don’t think anybody should be told to drop out,” Rubio said. “I think people should run until they feel that either they don’t want to continue or they don’t see a path to victory. I’ve never [believed] in asking people to drop out of a race because I had a bunch of people ask me to drop out of a race.”

For someone who endorsed Romney this is not a neutral opinion.

He did not endorse Romney. But he is wrong about Myth, he most certainly is like Charlie Crist but worse.

No, he is not. You are correct, but a lot of FReepers think he is. He is 100% vetted as not elgible to hold the office of President of the United States of America. To bad for me ‘cause I like the man.

He did hammer Newt for his anti-Romney ads but was quite okay with the flurry of anti-Gingrich ads in FL by Romney.

Makes sense since he’s helping Romney by encouraging vote-splitting by the conservatives, which will help Romney come out on top of the vote in some winner-take-all contests and keep a conservative from getting over 50% in other contests, which could have triggered winner-take-all rules that take delegates from Romney.

When did he endorse Romney? It would have to have been very recently because up until yesterday, he had NOT endorsed anyone. Can you site a source for that please?

Rubio won’t get the VP nod if Romney is nominated because the GOP Establishment fears that Rubio could be another Palin. I believe that they will “play it safe” and go with Susana Martinez or someone like her.

Rubio cannot get the VP nod—if he cannot run for President, he cannot run as Vice-President.

Romney was “endorsed in practice if not in declaration.”

Rubio is not a Natural Born Citizen.

But Barack Hussein Obama is? If Hussein is ruling from the White House, and neither congress or SCOTUS seems to be doing anything about it, what convinces you they will rule Rubio ineligible based on NBC criterion? We know for sure Hussein's father was not a citizen of USA.

Marco Rubio

born May 28, 1971 in Miami, FL (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Mario Rubio born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.
Oria Garcia born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.

Parents were NOT US Citizens at the time of his birth (Does NOT meet the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Marco Rubio is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Marco's status is the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

If congress and SCOTUS have done NOTHING to question Obama’s NBC qualifier, what convinces you they will question Rubio’s NBC status? I am sure you are well aware those two are the highest ranking institutions on the NBC question. Or is it someone else?
