Donald Trump famously mocked Marco Rubio as "Little Marco" before the junior Senator from Florida dropped out of the race, but that doesn't mean he won't consider Rubio for VP.

During an hour-long interview with the liberal USA Today columnist and Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers, Trump said he is willing to make the moves necessary to look presidential, including being conciliatory to former foes:

Could he build coalitions with people who had wronged him? Could he, for example, see appointing Sen. Marco Rubio to a position in his administration?

“Yes. I like Marco Rubio. Yeah. I could,” he answered. As for a potential Rubio vice president: “There are people I have in mind in terms of vice president. I just haven’t told anybody names. ... I do like Marco. I do like (John) Kasich. … I like (Scott) Walker actually in a lot of ways. I hit him very hard. ... But I’ve always liked him. There are people I like, but I don’t think they like me because I have hit them hard.”

He seems to have forgiven Rubio for his cringe-inducing attempt at stand-up comedy at Trump’s expense. “He made a mistake,” Trump said. “He became Don Rickles for about four days, and then I became worse than Don Rickles.”  

Also in the column, Trump told Powers that he has not cried since he was a child and he doesn't like to see leaders cry.
