Marco Antonio Rubio is an American attorney, politician and
junior United States Senator from Florida.
Sen. Marco Rubio is not winning the Republican primary right
now. And as a number of states get ready to vote in a slate of elections this
Tuesday, it’s dawned on him that he needs to start actually throwing some
punches at the front-runner, Donald Trump, if he wants to chip away at his
lead.
In recent days, the Florida Republican has said that Trump
is pulling one of the greatest (if not the greatest) political con jobs on
voters this country has ever seen. Which raises the question: were the people
who voted for Trump in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada duped? Where
they naïfs?
On "Face the Nation" Sunday, Rubio was asked that
question. And he responded that the supporters who elevated Trump to wins in
those states weren’t dumb -- they were just swindled. And it was the media who
was at fault, since it loved both the good ratings Trump brings and the
inevitable Hillary Clinton general election win when he ends up the nominee.
“[T]he media coverage for Donald Trump has almost been
cheerleading over the last couple weeks and I’m convinced because many in the
press want him to be nominee,” said Rubio. “One, I think they think it’s going
to be good for ratings and two because they know they have a lot of material to
work with. If Donald Trump were to ever become the nominee, immediately the
hounds of hell will descend on him, tear him apart, everything he's ever done
from not releasing his taxes to all of his failed business dealings. And
Hillary Clinton’s going to have a clear shot to the Oval Office.”
Rubio went on.
“I think there are many out there who are rooting for that
outcome so that he’s the nominee, and you can see it in the coverage he’s
gotten,” he said. “I mean, this guy has not offered a single serious policy
proposal, which is important if you want to be president of the United States….
so I think there’s kind of a weird bias here in the media rooting for Donald
Trump because they know he's the easiest Republican to beat.”

Trump does rely heavily on the media to help his candidacy.
And he does benefit in ways that others don’t -- either through wall-to-wall
coverage of his rallies or the freedom to call into television interviews. For
a while, moreover, he wasn’t being directly challenged over some obvious and
clear inaccuracies – though that has noticeably begun to change
