So much for #Marcomentum. This morning during an interview with MSNBC's Chris Jansing, Co-chair of Rubio's Virginia campaign Sen. Bryce Reeves was just shy of admitting defeat for Marco Rubio. On embracing Trump, he said the party would "absolutely" get behind him, and that he believes they are "at that point."

TRANSCRIPT:

JANSING: "If Donald Trump is the nominee, is it someone that the party can get behind?"

REEVES: "Absolutely. I mean, I think we're at that point."

"Rubio's surrogates can't even name his accomplishments and now his Virginia Co-Chair is basically admitting defeat on national television," said Emily Bolton of the Democratic Party of Virginia. "It's time for Republicans to face the facts: years of pandering to the far-right has made Trump the front-runner, and in Virginia they're ready to embrace him with open arms, even after he refused to condemn support from white supremacists."
