This is pathetic.

In the whiniest interview this year and possibly this decade, Marco Rubio tells a reporter that "I warned you this would happen" in the event that Donald Trump won the nomination.

"I ran for President. I wanted a different outcome."

But you never took a principled stand for immigration reform, Marco. And you weren't intellectually quick enough to have anything but canned responses for your debate performances. And Trump won, and now you are forced... Читать дальше...
