Supreme Court Edition
When Marco Rubio flip-flopped on running to keep job he hates, one of his primary excuses was his desire to help Trump shape the future of the Supreme Court. Yet Rubio simultaneously insists he stands by everything he said about Trump in the primary, including his doubts that Trump could be trusted to appoint appropriate Supreme Court Justices. After all, Rubio argued, who can trust a con man?
Rubio cannot have it both ways and his continued attempts to mislead Florida voters demonstrates his spinelessness. As President Obama said, Rubio is willing to be anybody just to be somebody. Floridians deserve better than Marco Rubio’s cowardice.
