CNN.com is reporting that Marco Rubio will be attending the Republican convention in Cleveland in July and will release all of his delegates to vote for Donald Trump.
“I want to be helpful. I don’t want to be harmful, because I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president,” Rubio told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview.“Look, my policy differences with Donald Trump — I spent 11 months talking about them. So I think they’re well understood,” Rubio said. “That said … I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president. If there’s something I can do to help that from happening, and it’s helpful to the cause, I’d most certainly be honored to be considered for that.”
Although Rubio is not running again for Senate when his term expires this year, he is not ruling a future run for office, perhaps President.
“I can tell you I enjoy public service. If there’s an opportunity to serve again in a way that I feel passionate about, I’ll most certainly think I would explore it,” Rubio said. “But I don’t know where I’m going to be in two years. I don’t know what my life will look like then.”
Rubio will speak on Trump’s behalf at the convention. He’s come a long way from using the hashtag #NeverTrump to speaking for him at the convention.
While I have to wonder if all this means Rubio will be Trump’s choice for Vice President, Rubio insists that is not the case,
“He (Trump) won the nomination and he deserves to have a running mate that more fully embraces some of the things he stands for,”
