President Obama, Iowa has more names for you!!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/obama-marco-rubio-trump_us_58092f55e4b000d0b155b905“There has to be a point where you stand for something more than just party, or more than just your own career.”
President Barack Obama sharply criticized Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for backing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, accusing the senator of putting his own career before the good of the country.
Speaking Thursday at a rally for Hillary Clinton in Miami Gardens, Florida, Obama called out the senator for endorsing Trump despite his harsh criticism of the reality star during the Republican primary.
“Why does Marco Rubio still plan to vote for Donald Trump? Why is he supporting Donald Trump?” Obama asked. “I know a lot of Republican voters, just ordinary folks, your neighbors, your friends, most of them don’t think the way Trump does. And there are legitimate differences between the parties. But there has to be a point where you stand for something more than just party, or more than just your own career.”
