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.

Marco Rue-B-O would not need to acquire so much bottled water, if he just purchased one of these machines:

"Machine turns perspiration into drinking water"

(Rue-B-O works up such a big sweat every day, by keeping in shape for his marathon race to try to get to the Rainbow White House, by working out every day to the following exercise regimen.)

"Sweatin' To The Oldies"

That's good to hear (I think).    :-)

The most irritating thing about watching Rubio speak is his constant smacking his lips. I have a St. Bernard dog that licks her feet at night when I’m trying to get to sleep and it drives me crazy. I can imagine what Rubio’s wife goes through. She probably grabs his dumbo ears and tells him to knock it off or he’s out of the room.

Rubio is a terrible neocon, whose never saw a country he didn’t want Americans fighting and dying in. If he were to somehow become president get ready to say Secretary of State McCain and Sec of Defense Linda Graham.

This is what you get when you call Trump’s campaign a “freak show”, and that is the exact words Rubio used to describe the campaign of Donald Trump.

Rubio wanted to wrestle the pig. Now he’s gonna find out the pig always wins...and he loves to wrestle (not calling Trump a pig, just saying that he fits that role in the old fable).

I see your point. However, I think what Trump is doing is exactly how you would want to respond to schoolyard bullies. Fight back with ridicule and at least bloody the bully's nose. Bullies hate being ridiculed and they don't like people who fight back. They will quickly move on to other targets.

The media and the establishment candidates have tried to do to Trump what always worked for them in the past. They would ridicule and marginalize anybody who dared upset the status quo.

They did this successfully with Sarah Palin, Ross Perot, Herman Cain and many others who dared to be a maverick and upset the apple cart. But Trump...Trump fights back. And the bullies really don't know what to do about it. They've never been up against this kind of opponent before.

Just my humble opinion but the damn rinos deserve everything lobbed at them. This is hoist of Rubio’s own petard. I think it is quite clever to beat these idiots to political death with their own stupid antics. Everyone talks of petulant Trump but what else could anyone possibly label the entire government that we have except sophomoric. Lunatic children in charge of the asylum. Trump is just toying with these rino trophies.

One more thing everyone needs to remember Trump made himself the news story in Rubio’s campaign. Hehehe. And his pictures all over the water bottles is just a GREAT MOVE. Clever, very clever. Crazy like a fox. Vicious like a badger. Boehner, McConnell, Bush, Rubio etc., they have had their shot and all dropped their pants for the dems and left us swinging. We have to wait and see what Trump will do. TRUMP DESERVES HIS SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But really? Does he have to sink to going after peoples’ looks? Attack and lambaste him on policy, sure.

At the expense of a contestants looks or personal features they cannot control, no? But Trump is hurting himself with this. Voters do not like low blows like this. It is not the 1800s anymore when that sort of stuff was tolerated. In Canada, the old conservative party made fun of Cretien for his palsy and were slammed in the election for it.

I am fine with lampooning, but just not on personal features. Send Rubio some tacos for being so pro-illegal immigration. Attack policy not something a person cannot control.

It matters little we are not the majority voters in any case. We haven't got a single election right since GW 2 and it was only half right.

If Trump were looking at winning demographics, then my advice would be to pick Susanna Martinez as his running mate - she’s Gov of NM, a Hispanic and a woman - and she’s a conservative with a good record on her resume for not backing down to dems@
Just sayin’...and he might also keep Ted Cruz in his pocket for a future Supreme Court Justice pick...

What does being from Alabama have to do with anything? (other than make you feel like a Good White Superior Yankee?)

Is THAT your idea of for the survival of America and the Republican Party? Hispanics spell doom for the Repubs. Hispanics DO NOT vote Republican, EVER. They STILL don’t even in the THIRD GENERATION. They vote Socialist-end of story. They are not a good fit for this countries founding principles.

Learn it.
