First on CNN: Trump sent prank care package to Rubio (Spring Water)
CNN ^ | Oct 5, 2015 | Noah Gray

Posted on 10/05/2015 3:08:22 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on Sen. Marco Rubio with a special delivery for his rival: "Trump Ice Natural Spring Water."

Trump has previously trained his fire on Rubio, claiming he has the worst voting attendance record in the U.S. Senate and that he sweats a lot. But CNN learned that the Trump campaign sent a "care package" to Rubio's Washington campaign office that contained a 24-bottle case of "Trump Ice Natural Spring Water," with Trump's face on it, two "Make America Great Again" towels and bumper stickers and a note reading, "Since you're always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!"

A Trump campaign aide said they added the towels "for him sweating," and described the overall gesture as a lighthearted prank.

You didn’t insult your clients in the process.

If Trump didn’t already have the drops in the bucket of the Kelly and Fiorina insults and if they had simply written something to the effect of knowing how much Rubio likes his water (given his chugging it during his response to the SotU), that would have been passable IMO. But saying they know how much he sweats is both personally insulting and not a clever match to a prank gift of Trump water.

Oh, and if you’re in sales, you ought to know that the worst thing you can do during the sales process is to insult your competition.

That’s what Trump just did.

Hey Jane, that made my funny bone recoil...☺ But Rubio does seem to be enjoying his Trump Ice Spring Water.

Oh, the outrage that will ensue on this thread when the good taste police arrive! Can’t wait.

A slightly [cough] outdated quote when taken in full, granted - but accurate nontheless...

Some other quotes:

The past always looks better than it was;
it's only pleasant because it isn't here.

An appeal is when you ask one court to show its contempt for another court.

A lie with a purpose is one of the worst kind, and the most profitable

Swearing was invented as a compromise between running away and fighting.

Why? Why do we need a Hispanic or Black, or Asian,or Woman, or freakin Pekingese on the ticket? What the hell happened to having the best person on the ticket? You can play Pander Bear until you're blue in face and these minorities will never vote for a Conservative. And I am fed up with the GOP running Liberal Lite against full on Liberals.

Trump will come out of this the winner. If he were to take your advice he would start losing.

Trump is ridiculing Rubio and it is working. Tis is straight out of the Alinsky playbook.

You do not have to support him. For every one of you there are 10 who support Trump.

Stay in your amrchair and watch. That is the safest place for you.

Trump just did an interview with Stephanopoulos. It was delicious watching Trump lead Stephie by the nose. It was funny.

Not sure if that's the best analogy. In my industry, there's enough space in the market for several competitors to thrive. We also don't insult them because we might find ourselves having to work for them someday!

In the presidential election, there can only be one winner. So it's kill or be killed, so to speak. I'm tired of our good guys always getting ridiculed out of the race (Sarah Palin comes to mind) and we end up with bland establishment types as our nominee. It's nice to see the tables turned for once.

Less not forget that Cruz tops Rubio in calling for an outrageous 500% increase in H1B.

This will not kill the Rubio campaign, as it will die of self-inflicted wounds,

Then why bother?

Yep, and I bet that Trump knows that as well. Sooner or later Trump will train his guns on Cruz—if needed.
