Believe Rubio post-Trump at your own risk

By Fred Hiatt Editorial Page Editor October 23 at 7:56 PM

Indignant emails roll out of Marco Rubio’s Senate office in waves, as if the past year hadn’t happened at all.

President Obama is soft on Cuba, they complain. Obama is soft on Iran. Obama should be tougher on Venezuela.

This is Rubio the defender of human rights, Rubio the internationalist, Rubio the brave advocate for U.S. leadership and engagement in a dangerous, dictatorial world. And Rubio the endorser of Donald Trump? Nowhere to be found in these pronouncements. Unimaginable, in fact, in these pronouncements.

Every down-ballot Republican candidate who has endorsed Trump for president, which is almost every down-ballot Republican candidate, will have to explain the stance to his or her children and grandchildren.
