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."

Theres 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
