Marco Rubio Was a Moral and Political Failure. It’s Good to See Him Go.

slate.com

Marco Rubio suspended his campaign Tuesday night after a humiliating loss in his home state of Florida. Rubio’s concession speech—notable because Rubio has become known for “victory” addresses after losing primaries and caucuses—was an uncomfortable mix of everything that was wrong in his campaign, which is now thankfully over.

Rubio declared recently that his goal was to stop Trump from becoming the nominee at all costs, but his presence in the race for the past two weeks, well after it was clear that he could not win, surely did nothing except boost Trump’s margins in the other contests tonight. It was typical of a campaign that could never do anything right. From the moment Rubio decided to make immigration his signature issue, enraging much of his base, through the moment that he backtracked from his own bill, proving to the last doubter that he was nothing more than a young man in a hurry, Rubio was never able to strike the right tone.
