Rubio's position on Donald J Trump for President

I see that there's been a something of an edit war about this. My 2 cents: I agree with BringthePaine that Rubio's views on Trump do not belong in the intro. It's been front page news all across the continent, but... doesn't really warrant being in Sen. Rubio's intro. I do think that one's stance on Trump has become one of the most discussed positions a candidate can have in 2016 (and likely for some years hence). Many Republicans are torn between supporting and disowning him, as they weigh the risks of alienating voters/supporters whichever choice they make. One's stance on Trump, i.e., is perhaps more politically significant that, say, one's position on health care. Furthermore, it's all the more significant for those Republicans who, like Rubio, exchanged harsh criticism with Trump during what were perhaps the most personally heated Republican Presidential primaries ever. So I think it's imperative to keep a solid review of Mr. Rubio's changing positions on Trump. Having said that, I don't particularly like the way it's worded right now. The "reversed" overtone sets up the reader to judge Rubio as a hypocrite. I think the content and citations could remain, without leading the witness, as it were.--Smilo Don (talk) 16:48, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

I agree that is not lead worthy, but that it should be covered in the article. I don't really agree that "reversed" portrays Rubio as a hypocrite, but I have no objection to using more nuanced wording.- MrX 17:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
I reworked the section a bit. It was important to point out that the criticism mentioned in the article was made when Trump & Rubio were actively running against each other in a political campaign. The endorsement was made only after Trump became the nominee. And it didn't make sense to say that "Rubio didn't withdraw his endorsement" after Access Hollywood tapes--we have in the article that he endorsed him, so it's implicit that the endorsement remains active unless it is explicitly withdrawn, which it hasn't been. Champaign Supernova (talk) 19:08, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, Champaign Supernova. That section looks much better now. The only glitch I see is that it ends ambiguously, with Rubio's criticism of the groping scandal. That moment was the breaking point for so many Republicans; one that begs the question: "So does he still support Trump or not?" I think Rubio's continued endorsement of Trump belongs as the conclusion to that paragraph.Smilo Don (talk) 13:19, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
I disagree. Stating that he hasn't changed his stance on Trump sounds like the writer is trying to make a point.BringthePaine (talk) 15:47, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Town Hall with Teens

As there has been no discussion then maybe it should be discussed if recent events deserve to be mentioned in the lede. Rubio's national profile has been relatively low the CNN town hall is at least noteworthy, as is mentioning his hypocrisy in taking NRA money then pretending to be in favour of gun laws, especially as the last Florida mass shooting was cited by him as a reason to run. Darrenhusted (talk) 17:23, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Not sure if this belongs in the lead. --Malerooster (talk) 20:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Not sure about the lead but should definitely be somewhere.--MainlyTwelve (talk) 20:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

If not in the lede, then where Malerooster? You reverted, defend your revert. Darrenhusted (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

If we don't include it, and I think we should, then by the same logic "announced a campaign for reelection citing the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting" should also go from there. Ceoil (talk) 13:16, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Restored. Ceoil (talk) 13:19, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
The lead should only be 4 paragraphs and should NOT be a news style lead per WP:LEAD. This "material" and certainly the name of the survivor, belongs in the body of the article, not in the lead, that's all. I have no problem taking out the reelection part as well. --Malerooster (talk) 14:20, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Done. Darrenhusted, can you add a modified version further down the page. Ceoil (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
The lead still has 5 paragraphs, but the first one is very short, so this version is better. I still would not include the name of the survivor in the body of the article since this does not add to our understanding of the subject.--Malerooster (talk) 15:09, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
I merged a few paragraphs. Yes agree re the name of the survivor, however that he was booed should be added in. It was indicative in a watershed of public openion. Ceoil (talk) 15:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm happy with the resulting edits. Darrenhusted (talk) 18:47, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

3 million plus from the NRA

An IP is questioning this number per this source, thoughts? --Malerooster (talk) 22:26, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

No. This is not the source used in the article. this is https://edition.cnn.com/2018/02/21/politics/rubio-nra-money-cameron-kasky/index.html and it does not say 3 million.103.231.90.213 (talk) 22:28, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Please read citation #226. Also, indent your comments, please. --Malerooster (talk) 22:36, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

From the article:

"In February 2018 he attracted controversy over his gun control stance, following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting at a town hall event held by CNN when he was questioned by a survivor of the shooting about the $3,303,355 he had received in donations from the NRA [231]" 

231 is CNN!

And the NYT opinion piece is not just about donations but about donations AND "spending to benefit the candidate". Inside the CNN source is a link to actual donations: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/02/19/politics/nra-pvf-contributions-florida-politicians/index.html and it says $9,900. Time to source and adjust the article.103.231.90.213 (talk) 22:42, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Typo in last paragraph

Hi folks,

Referring to the last paragraph of this article: 'On December 19, he announced on Twitter and Instagram that he had revived the COVID-19 vaccine'

I believe it should read 'received' and not 'revived'.
