Rubio: Why No, I Won't Campaign Against Senator Bill Nelson to Get Him Replaced With Republican Rick Scott. Bill and I Have A Good Working Relationship.

This is the Messiah of the NeverTrump TruCon Crying Eagle Brigades-- a guy who won't even campaign for a Republican in Florida's important Senate race.

As Florida's Republican establishment prepares to rally around Gov. Rick Scott in his forthcoming bid to knock of Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, one of the state’s most well-known Republicans does not seem poised to help lead the charge: Sen. Marco Rubio.

"I don’t campaign against Bill Nelson," Rubio said Tuesday during a sit-down with reporters in his Tallahassee office. "Bill Nelson and I have a very good working relationship."

Well, that's all that's important, your working relationship with a Democrat pushing for gun control and abortion.

...

Rubio did say, "I'll support the Republican nominee," the sort of answer that almost nearly mirrors his tepid public support in 2016 of then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

He called his relationship with Scott "positive," and said that he thought he would have a good relationship with Scott if the two were in Washington together in the Senate. But he noted that with Nelson he could not "have a better partner."

A lot of us picked up on Rubio's "bipartisan"/Democrat-friendly vibe some time ago. For many of us, this was a demerit; for the NeverTrumpers, it was a reason to praise him as the Only Man Who Can Save America.
