so rubio dropped out | The Compost Bin | Forums

which direction do you think his supporters are going? Cruz or trump?

Marco Rubio dropped out of the Republican presidential race on Tuesday night after losing badly to Donald Trump in his home state of Florida.

“While it is not God’s plan that I be president in 2016 or maybe ever, and while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that I’ve even come this far is evidence of how truly special America is,” Rubio told supporters in Miami.

With 81 percent of the precincts reporting, Trump was thumping Rubio in Florida by nearly 20 points, leading 45.6 percent to 27.1 percent. He has outpaced the senator by nearly 400,000 votes so far.
Rubio only mentioned Trump by name once in his concession speech, to congratulate the front-runner on his victory. Still, he repeatedly alluded to the threat he thinks Trump poses to the nation.

“I ask the American people: Do not give into the fear, do not give in to the frustration,” he said. “We can disagree about public policy, we can disagree vibrantly and passionately, but we are a hopeful people.”

Later, as supporters sought to shout down a protester, Rubio called out, “Don't worry, you won't get beat up at our event."
