After brutal name calling and low blows, it appears Marco Rubio and Donald Trump have called a truce, of sorts.

Rubio recently came to Trump’s defense on Twitter, saying the protesters at Trump’s rallies are “professional” and not violent, as he claims the media puts it. And now, Trump, who once said Rubio couldn’t get elected “dogcatcher” in Florida, is urging the former presidential candidate to run for reelection there.
