It’s not even a matter of good taste. It’s a matter of using good judgement. God knows there are endless things to go after Rubio on. That he sweats is seen by Trump to be, as he would say, SMART?

It’s not smart. It’s stupid. Here’s why. I’m not a heartfelt Trump fan. However, I have become much more favorably inclined toward him since his tax plan and other things he’s said. BUT. Every time I start to think I could vote for him he pulls a stunt like this and I lose more respect for him. I am representative of plenty of other people.

Eventually - the respect can’t be won back.

On the other hand, if I wanted to play armchair shrink, I might wonder if he’s trying to lose...

Do you think calling Jeb “low-energy” was dumb? It marked him in true Alinsky style and look where he is in the polls. The only smart one - outside of Trump - is Cruz.

For years we’ve wailed that none of our people fight back and now that we have a fighter - we’re still wailing.

“I am representative of plenty of other people.”

Well, so is The Donald, according to all of the polls.

The bombing of Russia will begin in five minutes.

Trump is the master of branding and marketing. I can't look at Jeb Bush without thinking "low energy." Now with Jeb in single digits, Trump is putting his guns on the next RINO up, Rubio.

The water prank is just another way to shape the public's perceptions of Rubio. Too young, inexperienced, sweats a lot, etc. Nothing Trump does is without purpose. Did you notice the mention of Rubio in Trump's immigration position paper?

Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.

Good grief my prayers are with you, that you may become just a little less tightly wound.

It’s water! It’s harmless! Just like Rubio’s sweating,,,and there are tons of things Rubio could do in response that would be light hearted and funny.

Politics doesn’t have to be bloody.

I have to say, SE Mom, that although I am a Trump supporter (as well as Cruz), I have to respect anyone who quotes Cicero on her profile page.

So, school marm, what do you do when they all go on TV and call you a clown, a bufoon, clownish, etc., all day every day, including Rubio? I find the spring water joke far more clever.

Further - Rubio for President ? Who could be serious about that - he’s a rube that’s never even had a job not on the city council, state legislature or Congress. Rubio couldn’t out think Trump while he’s asleep. And finally, he’s bought and paid for by the same benefactor that bankrolled him time and time again. Maybe someday he’s Presidential timber, but for now I view his candidacy as laughable.

He and Mark Cuban played practical jokes on each other prior to 2012. You are way out of your stiff-neck league, millionaires and billionaires play these games all the time.

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.

And yet the most admired politician is none other than the serial rapist Bill Clinton.
