Rubio Begins to Sever His Trump Tether

Published



If you put Marco Rubio’s many opinions of Donald Trump and Election Day the last several months into a paragraph, there’s a cohesive, though not entirely coherent progression in there:

I stand by everything I said in the campaign. Donald Trump is a con artist, and we should not hand the nuclear codes to an erratic individual. But Hillary Clinton has a 30-year record of scandal and outrage, and I don’t trust her on foreign policy, which could lead to a conflict anywhere in the world that this nation cannot afford and should not be involved in. This election is a disturbing choice between someone who I disagree with on many things and someone who I disagree with on virtually everything. I don’t trust either one of them.
