#NeverTrump was trending high much of the morning, and Marco Rubio is using the hashtag to criticize Donald Trump:
Donald Trump is a con artist — and he cannot be our nominee. #NeverTrump https://t.co/3ZYQZraCfNhttps://t.co/8wm9ToY7El
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) February 27, 2016

It's time to take the mask off of Donald Trump. #NeverTrump https://t.co/PYazfEzPfy

Rubio’s taken a much more aggressive approach to Trump recently.
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked if Rubio’s use of the hashtag means he wouldn’t support Trump if he were the eventual nominee, which got many replies including these:

Hopefully. He will gain immeasurable amount of respect if he doesn't. https://t.co/8gSefr2NFe

@jaketapper @marcorubio Yep, means the turn coat, big donor candidate won't even support the (R) nominee picked by voters, shameful.

Exactly which is what the establishment wanted to crucify Trump for in the first debate. The GOP is a joke! https://t.co/3GoxIuDVh1

It would be a strong principled position if he says he won't. #NeverTrump https://t.co/1UTcgrP7Dz

Why would he endorse a Democrat posing as a Republican? https://t.co/FSUO2v2y3x

@jaketapper Didn't they all sign a pledge?
— Peppermint Patti (@PollyAnnNomore) February 27, 2016
@jaketapper They will all support him if he wins nomination and then election… after that, opposition within his own party.

I would certainly hope so. #NeverTrump https://t.co/7eFELHil74

Kinda hard to support someone after you've called him a con-artist. #NeverTrump https://t.co/h8Ez4iKczz
