Marco Rubio: 'It’s not that we lost, it’s that Donald Trump won'
During a recent interview in his Senate office, Rubio reflected on where his campaign went wrong, what he learned from his recent overseas trip and why he would rather make the most of his remaining seven months in federal office than opine about the state of the 2016 race.
“A lot of times it feels almost like the guy who built this really strong building,” Rubio said of the Republican contest, “and it was in the right place, and it was the way these buildings have always been built, but he got hit by a category five hurricane.
“It’s not that we lost, it’s that Donald Trump won … It was just a very unusual political year.”
Unprecedented might be another word for it, in that the most pressing question Rubio faced upon his return from the Middle East had nothing to do with his trip but rather an all-too-familiar fixation with whether he would support Trump as the nominee (the answer is yes), followed by mounting speculation over whether he would accept an invitation to be Trump’s vice-president (the answer is no).
