I wonder how much little marco had to commit to spend in campaign events at doral and merde au lac? Twin peaches knows he’s good for it, because he can unendorse him at any time.

Good thing Trump is known for keeping his word and never turning against people he has previously praised, backed or even hired.

I shudder to think of the vile debasement and humiliations Little Marco had to undergo to obtain this endorsement. The sorts of things which, if captured on video, would only be purchasable with Bitcoin on the dark web.

Anything is possible, but re: the state’s 2021 Republican primary, nope.

What happens to Trump between now and the FL Senate Campaign is pretty much baked in, in terms of maximum problems.

And next we know Trump gets indicted of 99 counts of fraud (all varieties, political, electoral, financial, tax), and Marco will start sweating again

Just 99?

So…two questions:

  1. Which journalist will be the first to identify the money flowing from Rubio’s campaign funds to Trump’s pocket?

  2. Is Rubio’s face that color because he just finished tossing Trump’s salad, or did Trump finally share his greatest secret (ie. Bronzer Brand)?

If he sweats any more he’ll be pulling water bottles from both sides of the screen at once. I don’t see why he remains so thirsty for a position that requires him to do what Trump regularly gets from Ivanka or Hope Hicks anyways.

And besides all that, Trevor Noah put it best when talking about some previous Trump expression of support: “A promise from Donald Trump is just about the most worthless thing a person could get. You’re better off getting an offer for tickets to the next Bill Cosby standup show.”

I know it is unseemly to mention the physical attributes of folks, but, Christ, Marco’s ears are huge and so ugly.
