Rubio: Brokered Convention 'Not a Backroom Deal'

A brokered GOP convention would not mean a backroom deal, and Marco Rubio said Friday that he expects a consolidation behind "someone not named Donald Trump," and that he will be that person.

"Brokered convention insinuates that we'll have this backroom deal with someone who is not on the ballot will get dropped in," the Florida senator told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program.

"I do not support a back room deal at the convention either. That's why you have delegates, that's why you have a convention."

But it's possible that nobody will have the 1,237 delegates GOP presidential nomination, Rubio said, and if that happens, he expects he'll be nominated.

"I am looking forward to that happening," he said.

Gang of 8. Exactly right. Go home and find a real job. Should have run for re-election to Senate and built some accomplishments while Gang of 8 scheme receded.
