Poor Marco

Via @NPR: Attempting To Woo Latino Voters, Marco Rubio Gets Booed At Orlando Festival https://n.pr/2erdy6u



Snip
As Rubio left the stage, I asked him twice why he thought the crowd had reacted negatively, but he ignored my questions.

Those in the crowd, however, were eager to give their take.

"Latinos might have differences amongst each other, but we're also united as one," said Angel Marin, a retired Army sergeant of Puerto Rican descent who said he's voted for both Democrats and Republicans. He said he resented Rubio for his endorsement of Trump.

"And when we have someone like Trump, who hits our Mexican brothers, our Latino brothers, then you jump on that bandwagon after all that stuff he says not only about you personally ... as a Latino, you're a freaking sellout. I would not vote for him if they paid me."

"He's from the party of Trump,

Sobbing Rubio It Not His Fault Party Splitting Up

In an effort to comfort the distraught former presidential candidate, top GOP leaders reportedly sat down next to a sobbing Marco Rubio Thursday and assured him that it wasn’t his fault the Republican Party was splitting up.

Marco, trust me, this isn’t about you—we’ve been having problems for years,” said RNC chairman Reince Priebus, who consoled the weeping Florida senator by repeatedly telling him that the party’s breakup had nothing to do with anything he had said or done.
“The fact is, we tried our best to work through our issues, but we just fought all the time.

There’s nothing you or any of the other establishment candidates could have done about it. Okay, buddy?”


At press time, Rubio had started blubbering even louder when Priebus admitted the party would probably never reconcile
