Anyone remember the 2010 flick in which a lone warrior
marched across a ruined, post-apocalyptic wasteland carrying humanity’s hope
for redemption?
Picture it…four years
from now a dejected media darling and political loser is seen wandering the
landscape mumbling to himself, “I made a pledge.”
Back
in February, Marco Rubio said Donald Trump should not be handed “the
nuclear codes” and likened him to the “lunatic in North Korea with nuclear
weapons.”
On Tuesday during his
first live national interview after suspending his presidential campaign, Rubio
told CNN’s Jake Tapper he would fulfill his pledge to support the GOP nominee
even if he did not agree with him on the issues.
“I signed a pledge
and said that I would support the Republican nominee and I intended to continue
to do that. I don’t want Hillary Clinton
to be the president of the United States; I don’t want her to win this
election. On the other hand, I have well defined differences with the
presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, and like millions of Republicans,
you try to reconcile those two things.”
“I intend to live up
to the pledge that we made, but that said, these concerns that I have about
policy, they remain,” he added. “That doesn’t mean that Donald needs to change
his positions in order to get my support.”
Rubio has screwed the
pooch too many times. In June of 2013,
Rubio became a coward after the Senate passed an immigration reform bill that
gave amnesty to illegal immigrants. He infamously
was a member of the Gang of Eight and took his 30 pieces of silver. Just like Judas he betrayed America. People
haven’t forgotten that.
Rubio wasn’t elected
as just any Republican pol. He was a self-described “movement conservative” who
caught the Tea Party wave against the Republican Establishment and surfed it
all the way to the Senate.
During this campaign
cycle Rubio noted on any number of occasions that many tried to discourage his
candidacy saying it wasn’t his time—he was a young one term senator who should
wait.
Rest assured Rubio is
finished and he knows it. You can’t say
Trump is unfit to be president in February and then two months later espouse
partisan loyalty. If Little Marco’s wounds
heal four years from now and he again fancies himself a presidential candidate,
the attack ads will be vicious and unrelenting—deservedly so.
