Will Trump Keep America Safe? Marco Rubio Won't Say

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who has maintained his support for Donald Trump, dodged questions from reporters on Thursday about the Republican nominee's ability to lead and be a role model for young Americans.

Reporters asked Rubio if Trump would keep the country safe as president, and he would not say, according to CNN.

"The military is what keeps us safe," Rubio responded, according to CNN. "We have to rebuild our military and (Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton) is a supporter of the defense cuts and the sequester which would be damaging to our country."

The Florida senator also avoided answering questions about whether Trump would be a good role model for children. "People know I have strong disagreements with both candidates in this race," he replied, according to CNN. "I think Hillary Clinton would be a terrible role model in terms of the things she has done while in office. She destroyed emails and evidence while she was under investigation. And her policies are bad too."
