Right? I think he's just desperate to stay 'in the game' and hopes maybe for some kind of ground-swell uprising of support or something, i dunno. The GOP is baffling.

I am kind of wondering if that is what he is angling for. Even if he doesn't want a position working for Trump (if, God forbid, he should become President - and I seriously hope not). He keeps his name/face out there and tries to appeal to the base of Trump supporters so when he (likely) re-enters the political game he'll be remembered and still have some kind of base.

Although, I think that could potentially be difficult as I've read an interesting article that he kind of burned a lot of bridges as he worked his way up in Florida politics, so he may not have the support in state that he could potentially need for another political run.

This certainly does paint him as an opportunist, which has been said about him before, too.

Embedding tweets is a total headache, so you aren't obligated to do it. In future, just copy the text of the tweet and follow it up with a link to the tweet, like this:

I think this should be doable from an iPad.

Ok, cool! I will keep that in mind for future posts. Thank-you. :)

Sadly, he was right the first time.

And considering Trump's politics against Hispanics, this feels like an even bigger betrayal. :(

He was spot on with everything he said during the primaries. And I get that he isn't a fan of Hillary Clinton and he wants to unite his party, but I think there is a different way to do it. Or just forget the uniting the party crap and just stay quiet. Anything but this 180 he did - even though I don't agree with his politics. I at least could respect him for what he said at first.
