Alexander said Rubio would be a "strong and effective president" and touted the Florida senator as "the conservative candidate who can inspire us, win the election and lead our country."

"The stakes are high. If our nominee does not win, Hillary Clinton's justices will control the Supreme Court for 30 years and we'll be stuck with Obamacare forever," Alexander said.

Alexander said he had "watched Marco up close" in the Senate and touted his work on a handful of legislative issues.

"I have seen him take the lead in passing new laws to impose tough new sanctions on Hezbollah terrorists, and to get rid of incompetent managers who weren't doing their jobs to help veterans. He has proposed good new ideas for giving students more options for college," he said....

Well, that's a relief—and a feather in the caps of both Trump and Cruz.

Of course, establishment endorses establishment. Paid political hack endorses paid political hack.

Is Rubio expecting this to help him in any way?

Lamar Alexander is the Chair of the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension. He is the main politician pushing common core and the federalization of Education. If Rubio is elected President you can bet he will be Secretary of Education and that would be very bad news.

Pretty much. They hate Cruz and Trump. I’ll bet my paycheck that it ends up a brokered convention. And if it does turn out that way, all heck is going to break loose!

Good. Will hurt Rubio. Alexander not a conservative and he gets an F at conservative review.

Next endorsement. . .

If he wasn’t wearing a plaid shirt it doesn’t count.

Woohoo! I was afraid Lamar was thinking about endorsing Trump!! I’m much happier with Sessions’ nod. Trump 2016, for all the right reasons.
