‘I Tried’: Rubio Got Combative on Twitter Yesterday Over Trump
Months ago Marco Rubio was calling Donald Trump an unprincipled con man who we can’t trust with nukes. This week he said he’s willing to be “helpful” to Trump, and he ended up fighting on Twitter yesterday with people upset at him for going back on all that criticism.
Remember, Rubio tweeted #NeverTrump a couple times when he was still in the race:
Donald Trump is a con artist — and he cannot be our nominee. #NeverTrump https://t.co/3ZYQZraCfNhttps://t.co/8wm9ToY7El

#NeverTrump. Agree?

It's time to take the mask off of Donald Trump. #NeverTrump https://t.co/PYazfEzPfy

Donald Trump will never be the nominee of the party of Lincoln and Reagan. #NeverTrump
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) February 27, 2016
Well, never doesn’t always mean never.
Rubio got into multiple arguments on Twitter with people yesterday who didn’t understand why he’s changed his tune so much. Rubio’s contention is that he did everything he could to stop this from happening, but now that we’re left with Trump or Hillary Clinton, he’s forced into
Funny piece by @philipaklein. Easy to be a "keyboard cowboy".I actually ran & spent year away from home trying to prevent choice before us

In Florida only 2 legitimate candidates on ballot in Nov. I wont vote for Clinton & I after years of asking people to vote I wont abstain.
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
So this is confirmation he’s voting for Trump, yes?
If you can live with a Clinton presidency for 4 years thats your right. I cant and will do what I can to prevent it.

@BillKristol @philipaklein I & respect your position.The choice before us is far from ideal.Everyone will have to make own choice
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
More typical inaccurate context.I said I would be "honored" to help party beat Hillary.Stop your snarkathon https://t.co/iCW3p5QFRK

Respectfully, that does seem like a distinction without a difference, Senator. https://t.co/tHkdd02C7f

Wrong. Convention about more than just nominee.showcase for ideas within #GOP.1/2 https://t.co/iNvCK7GsDC
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
If I have chance to speak honored to share MY vision and ideas for GOP. https://t.co/iNvCK7GsDC

@baseballcrank @MBGlenn. Valid question. Many good people advised me to just stay out for my own good. 1/2
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
Probably best thing if only thinking of whats best for me.But spent year saying #NeverHillary.Now tell them to stay home & let her win?
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
Wish it worked that way.They ask EVERY time until they get answer little different from the others 1/2 https://t.co/X2hu2xqTVG
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
But if you give same answer too many times then they say you are "robotic" and "scipted". Sound familiar? Lol https://t.co/X2hu2xqTVG
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
And you won't hear me attack anyone who reaches that conclusion.Respect and understand.Never said it was easy choice https://t.co/Ep1TJIXfeU
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
Nerd. JK It's my first day on job as a "keyboard cowboy"cut me some slack https://t.co/7oT0hKnVcV
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
If that is conclusion you reached I respect that. But after 8 years of Obama, 4 yrs of Clinton is too much for me. https://t.co/sDnyMctDvO
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
And he made it clear he’s not terribly happy about this:
I know I was standing right next to him on debate stage. https://t.co/2PJ1y3j7UD
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
I ran against him. Remember? I tried. https://t.co/5oVaTZhhS7
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016
You know I wanted to win don't you. I did not want us to be in this place. I tried. Voters chose different. https://t.co/pEXCfPS8hj
