While it’s not going to happen, I would love to see Hillary Clinton turn this little weasel into a puddle of flop-sweat in a one-one-one debate.

Well Donald was right about one thing, he is a liar. None of the leading Republicans seem to have any class at all or at least the sense to fake it in public.

But still “it wasn’t a bad word, that’s all that matters.”

So, Mr. Marco, if the audience had burst into laughter after a member shouted one of the following,
"Marco Rubio sucks dick in the ear.’
“Marco Rubio eats yak shit imported from Communist China.”
“Marco Rubio uses a dildo shaped like a Perrier bottle.”
“Marco Rubio produces enough flop sweat to refill the aquifer of a major metropolitan city.”
You would have doubled over with laughter at those remarks, too?

“Laughs, says he didn’t hear”.

That is the best INTEGRITY and LEADERSHIP Rubio has to offer…

Yeah, keep laughing at stuff you later say you didn’t hear. That’ll make you look REALLY Presidential! You must be one of those people who goes to the taping of an extremely bad sitcom and claps every time the “APPLAUSE” signs light up. Of course, Rubio’s “APPLAUSE” signs are Sheldon Adelson’s balls.

“The press is here, I didn’t even hear what they — I didn’t hear what they said. I know it wasn’t a bad word, that’s all that matters.”

Because it’s ok to make jokes about torturing your political opponents as long as you don’t use any “bad words.”

At a campaign rally in South Carolina on Tuesday, a man in the audience shouted "waterboard Hillary" during Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) speech, according to numerous reports. The crowd at the rally laughed following the remark, as did Rubio, according to Politico.

If you didn’t hear it, why did you laugh at it? Just because everyone else was laughing? Isn’t that what a child does?

After Man Shouts ‘Waterboard Hillary,’ Rubio Laughs.

“And I know exactly what I’m doing.”

The site of the nerds in school that turned out be Republicans like Cruz and Rubio, trying to act all manly, is, in and of itself, the best element of spectacle this year.

Put a bowtie on him and send him to picture day.

That’s how a president Rubio would handle things. Even though obvious, he’d lie to save his face.

I like your observation but I don’t like that it made me think of Todd Starnes, which is a terrible thought to start a day with.

Oh, and hey Marco, here’s a bad word: You’re a pandering little pendejo.

Why is it that Republican ‘humor’ always has, at its core, cruelty. Republicans just can’t make a joke about Democrats without the Democrat being killed, hurt or humiliated.

“I don’t want to know what he said,” Rubio then said in response, according to the Washington Post. “The press is here, I didn’t even hear what they — I didn’t hear what they said. I know it wasn’t a bad word, that’s all that matters.”

And here is your Evangelical Christian in a nutshell. God forbid someone says “shit” or “fuck.” But it’s perfectly okay to talk about (and even celebrate) torturing a fellow human being.
