Rubio should be ashamed of himself, but isn't.

But it will catch up to him, he is digging his own political grave.

'Donald J. Trump Verified account ‏@realDonaldTrump

Word is-early voting in FL is very dishonest. Little Marco, his State Chairman, & their minions are working overtime-trying to rig the vote.'


'Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 49m49 minutes ago

We are asking law enforcement to check for dishonest early voting in Florida- on behalf of little Marco Rubio. No way to run a country!'

So by Marconnie FoamBoy Rubio’s standards Reagan was the cause of the Berkley protests when he was running.

America was born because she had had it with England’s oppressive governing. American started and won a war against them.

“... and says ‘Put me in power. And I will make the country better”

Hey Marco, that’s what all you candidates are saying. Not a thing wrong with it.

Anyone else notice that Rubio wasn’t making these statements over the last 7 years with Obama?

Before this is over, Cruz and Rubio will be wishing the protesters were disrupting their campaign events.

Little Marco said last night that it wasn’t Trump’s fault, he did knock Trump’s rhetoric, but said the Chicago thing was definitely organized..now the little shit is on the bandwagon to blame Trump. Two faced little wimp.

That is a lot of trash talk coming from one whose political career will likely come to an end Tuesday evening.
