Rubio Suddenly Drops Trump Insults

Washington Post: “He still called Trump ‘a con artist’ but there was little talk of the businessman’s small hands, or spray tan, or his large private plane. Instead, Rubio warned that the 2016 presidential election ‘is a referendum on our identity as a nation and as a people.'”

“The sudden shift in tone — and admission he wasn’t going to get personal — came as party leaders and many Rubio supporters expressed concern in the last day with the senator’s use of Trump-style taunts focused on his rival’s personality and personal appearance.”

James Hohmann: “The Rubio campaign made a tactical mistake by going into the gutter with Trump over the weekend.”
