... is busy right now convincing his fellow Republicans to remove Trump from office, he has NO SPINE.

If Rubio wakes up tomorrow morning still supporting Trump - on any level, on any position, on any policy - he is standing up for racism and bigotry.

Words are cheap and, at this point, meaningless without action.

His words went further than many in his party. I wouldn't have expected him to utter them.

his words went beyond many democrats even. Spineless Rubio surprised me. It is possible that this affects him more on a personal level being non-white senator in conservative state that chose trump in the primaries. FL has a lot of white supremacists and he sees the changing GOP party in which no non-white person would be able to win primaries anymore. IMO, he really doesn't have a choice as to oppose trump at this poin.

I have communicated my feelings about Trump requesting he support removal of him from office or at the very least Immediate censure by the Congress.

He and a few other Republicans have criticized Trump but at this point THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. They need to do something.
