Sen. Marco Rubio traveled throughout Florida Thursday reinforcing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsement in local markets. Try as he might to ignore it, however, Donald Trump is a topic that keeps coming up in press gaggles, as it did in Jacksonville.
The first question Rubio got, after an endorsement from the local and federal Chambers, had to do with Trump and his comments that Russian hackers should find the missing emails from Hillary Clinton‘s server.
Rubio noted that “we don’t know who hacked the DNC,” saying it could have been “multiple individuals” and that the “whole incident is a reminder of why Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is such a big deal” since her server had less protection than the DNC’s.
Rubio said he did not “support” Trump’s comments, adding he called Trump’s campaign, which told him the Republican presidential nominee’s comments were a “use of sarcasm to call attention” to the missing emails.
When asked if Trump was too close to Russia, Rubio said that he didn’t know about Trump and Russia, adding that Trump has “some foreign policy views that I don’t entirely disagree with.”
When asked if he was comfortable with Trump getting classified security briefings, Rubio attempted to stay on party line message.
“As president,” Rubio said, “you are elected to be commander in chief.”
“Hillary Clinton can’t be trusted with intelligence briefings,” Rubio added.
“I need to run to win my campaign. Given the fact that I ran myself,” Rubio said, “people know my positions.”
As has been the case elsewhere, Rubio danced around his differences with his party’s nominee, in favor of making the rejectionist case against Clinton.

hellary might’ve told the ‘truth’ during the org e-mail investigation. and she only got off the hook because there couldn’t be properly found intent :roll-eyes: yet the real problem imho is nobody cared that she kept lying about the same issue to the rest of the world, as she always does on pretty much everything else. that explains why hitlarly never goes off script. otherwise the truth may inadvertently slip of her snaky tongue at some time. hence, she simply can not be trusted to tell the truth to the public at any given time. so if you want to believe her lies and those of her pawns, then i guess that’s also tech ok; just beware in rationally knowing that is precisely their dishonest modus operandi, always. i’m assuming also you must be a masochist that likes being duped. because hill&co have being doing that very same for years now1 she is so deceitful that she now blatantly changes her tune more to the center, in accord for the liking of blue collar voters. all in order to take a few misguided souls to the dark side111 so when the emotional high of her convention, rallies and rest of her speeches wears off, you’ll eventually come down to the rude awakening that is reality and the realization of what always was the self evident truth. like sadly berners experienced in their own skin a few days ago. so if she doesn’t kept her word for her alleged mainstream support folk; why should she for the rest of the sheeple…
