One Florida political operative said Mr. Rubio had a "snowball's chance in hell," of getting Mr. Bush's backing after his "ultimate betrayal" of entering the 2016 race. Mr. Rubio also probably didnt have it in him to beg Mr. Bush, given hed outlasted the former governor in the presidential race, the operative said.

"The governor decided he wasn't going to endorse anyone. He made up his mind that was the case and that's what hes done," said Al Cardenas

Hmm....
I thought dodging Jeb’s endorsement was a success?
Did Rubio at least dangle the VP slot in front of Jeb?
I guess they didn’t speak to each other at the meeting.
They’re just alike. Rubio wears high heels to look taller. Bush stands on his toes.
Regardless of how you feel about Rubio or Trump, Jeb clearly believes that Trump is unsuited to be President. For him to put his butthurt before the good of the country (from his perspective), is just another reason why he did not deserve to be President.
Yeb! had too much butthurt towards Rubio to endorse him.
Not that it would have helped Amnesty Boy much.
Rubio is a flop and a failure. Hopes should sour.
Rubio is a RINO and Florida knows it
He has no future here
Might as well go NYC or DC for a job
In any number of ways, Marco Rubio demonstrated for all to see why he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the levers of power in this country. He’s very much a clone of Barak Obama in that he’s a excellent orator who doesn’t even need a teleprompter to speak, and he’s lazy. When he said that “he was tired of the US Senate” after not even completing one term, he told us all that he’d be a golf course president if elected. And sadly, Cruz is too much from the same mold. When both of them put on their track shoes, they were finished.
A Jeb! endorsement would have killed Jeb!’s brand.
This is not the year for establishment.
I remember last summer Trump said Jeb was a phony for saying Rubio was his “good friend”, and that he didn’t believe Jeb wasn’t really ticked off at his betrayal. Boy did he have him pegged.
Others have also noted this. Also the Bushes felt betrayed when the devious Nikki Haley endorsed Robot Rubio.
Jeb has a record of ignoring people in need.
The anti-Hamilton.
