Marco Rubio of Florida, who’s been mentioned by Trump as a potential vice presidential pick, issued a statement saying he wasn’t interested because Trump “will be best served by a running mate and by surrogates who fully embrace his campaign”.

The controversy surrounding House Speaker Paul Ryan’s nondorsement of Donald Trump last week continues to send shockwaves through the heart of conservatives nationwide.
Once considered as a future of the Republican party, Rubio, 44, withdrew himself from the White House race after he lost his home state of Florida to Trump, 69 in primary. “I think it’s inappropriate”, he said. Asked if he could say he’s endorsing Trump, Scott replied: “I can say that that’s a ridiculous question”.
Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party has shaken the party’s establishment and prompted soul-searching over whether to reluctantly get behind him or cede any role in the November 8 presidential election, when Hillary Clinton is expected to be the Democratic nominee.
“He will say what he wants to say and I will certainly be glad to listen”, McCain said Tuesday.
The first OH poll since Donald Trump dispatched his Republican rivals following the IN primary last week shows the billionaire beating fellow New Yorker Hillary Clinton IN a head-to-head match up. The real estate mogul says he does not want to self-fund what some estimate could be a billion dollar election. But Sen. Roger Wicker, who heads the party’s campaign committee, downplayed the rift between Ryan and others in his party, telling reporters, “I’m pretty relaxed about it”. And if circumstances change and make it so you’re doing more damage than good by “sticking to your word”, you are at best an idiot and at worst an amoral monster by choosing to elevate your ability to brag about how steadfast you are over the needs of your country.
Former presidents and nominees and other top leaders have repeatedly said they are skipping the convention where he is expected to receive the nomination. He obviously wasn’t my first shot the because I was running for president. Now he deserves the opportunity to go out and make his case to the American people. And that’s what he’s going to do.
‘On the other hand, the only other choice is someone I have even more reservations about, ‘ he said.
He also said choosing a person who’s previously held elected office would help with the process of looking into the person’s background, in part because that person already would have been checked out by voters, the news media and to some extent the government. I enunciated those things repeatedly. Their public differences are overshadowing prospective voters’ movement toward Trump and his own efforts to broaden his appeal as the general election campaign takes shape.
