Rubio mocks Trump for spelling, 'spray tan,' 'Hair Force One' plane

By Elliot Smilowitz

 
Marco Rubio is running for president, but it sounds like he would settle for a Comedy Central special.
 
Rubio on Saturday continued his mockery of rival Donald Trump, going after the businessman’s spelling errors and “spray tan” at a campaign event in Kennesaw, Ga.
 
“You guys wanna have a little fun today?” Rubio mischievously asked the crowd, holding up his cell phone.
 
“Last night he was actually pretty calm after I punched him around a little bit,” he said of Trump.
 
“He’s learning how to spell, I guess. But he’s flying around on Hair Force One and tweeting.”
 
The spelling dig was a reference to a series of mistyped Trump tweets Friday, where the business mogul repeatedly called Rubio a “chocker” and noted the “honer” of winning polls.
 
“So here’s the one tweet he put out, he put out a picture of me having makeup put on me at the debate,” Rubio said, referring to another Trump tweet from Friday.
 
“Which is amazing me to me, that the guy with the worst spray tan in America is attacking me for putting on makeup.”
 
The kicker: “Donald Trump likes to sue people; he should sue whoever did that to his face.”

Is this the best Rubio can do?

Trump mocks Rubio for sweating, Rubio mocks Trump for his spray tan. Seems about equal - equally juvenile, that is.

============================

I'm sure you've been paying attention.  In the last two days, Rubio has not just focused on Trump's hair, but also on his age.

Rubio is dumb as a rock.  A bag full of rocks.

I hope he keeps up this strategy.

26% of the voters in Florida are over 60.  And they are listening.

Trump's a thin-skinned jerk and is getting punched in the mouth.

He can't handle it. His speech in Arkansas was defensive and rambling.

He's defining Trump as a con man.  That will stick.

Gotta give Rubio props, he's getting in some witty comebacks.

You're correct.  The ability to trash talk and throw down should the only measure of what makes for a good president.  Trump should be given the presidency by acclamation, simply for having the best potty-mouth.

[Wingnut]

Any political party that can't cough up anyone better than a treacherous brain-damaged old sot like Donald Trump deserves every beating it gets.

Let me channel my inner Trump-kin:  Oooh you're such a hater!

[libertybele]

This is absolutely ridiculous.  It is very unfortunate that Rubio has lowered himself to Trumps' level.  We are at an extremely critical point in this history of our country -- we have a socialist and a criminal running for president and we just lost one of the most conservative justices on the Supreme Court, ISIS is at our door and we now have presidential candidates acting like foolish clowns!  Someone please stop this insanity!!

Amen. The Dems offer two doddering old commies. Our side should have more to say than, "I know you are but what am I?"

The only one who talks about what he's going to do is Rubio. And he's taking it to Trump where you have to take it to him:  mocking him personally, trashing his looks, his spelling, his vacuous policies.

Rubio's loving this and he should keep it up. It's the only way to take Trump out. You can't beat Trump with experience or issues.  Hit him with the same crap he hits you with.

Hear ya there. Buckle up, I'm afraid we're in for a long bumpy ride.

I listened and/or watched most of the Houston debate the other night. At one point the two Cubans were talking at Trump from both sides. He just stood there, probably cringing.

Trump showed a lot of restraint. He got through it, and now just has to ride out the week.

Cruz has to win Texas or essentially is finished. Trump is fine with 2nd there.

Rubio has to win Florida or should be finished. Trump is fine with 2nd there.

Later Kasich must win Ohio or is finished there. Trump is fine with 2nd there.

When do they bring in the Plan B team? Romney ??

Does anybody realistically think Romney is better equipped to take on Trump ??

Viz. Romney, no.  For better or worse, he'll get painted as a spiteful has-been.  If Rubio, Cruz, Kasich are all finished, then so be it.  The fact that under a democracy the individual citizens get to decide who will govern may be fair, but fairness should never be confused or conflated with wise or smart, or even marginally rational.  If we get Trump, then it's because we as a society are too stupid to deserve anyone better.

It is a crazy mixed up world we live in libertybele.  In the not so distant past a man was respected for taking the high road.  When you lie down with dogs you get fleas and such.  But somehow this egotistical verbose reality star has managed to glorify himself by maligning his opponents time and time again with no consequences for his actions.

Desperate times call for desperate actions.

Trump praised Vladimir Putin, retweeted a white supremacist, and implied President Obama is a Muslim. Has Rubio gone too far?

[sinkspur]

Hey Robert Jeffress and Jerry Falwell, Jr. — Trump is defending Planned Parenthood again.

Jeffress is pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas and supports Trump.
