Asked about his comments that Trump shouldn't have his hands on the nuclear codes, Rubio said he stands by what he said about Trump during the primary but he's the nominee and he'll support him.

Asked about Portman and Toomey due to the Trump drag, Rubio said it would be hard for them regardless.

Asked if Rubio is saying the same thing as Ryan, that Ryan can't endorse, Rubio said he's not the same and he signed the pledge. Then he gets a little murky per usual.
Basically says he will vote for Trump by saying he isn't voting for HRC.

Unsure if he will go to the convention. Doesn't know if he'll have a role. He's open to going.

Tapper let Rubio know that he agreed with HRC more than Trump on foreign policy.
He says he disagrees with HRC on other policies like abortion where he is with Trump.

Doesn't expect Trump to change his policies he won on.

Says again that his issues with Trump are on the record.

Not 100 percent on whether he shut the door on VP.
