Rubio on Trump: 'It’s fun to watch him blow up’

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) says he enjoys provoking Donald Trump and watching the GOP front-runner "blow up."

“From time to time we’ll respond, because it’s fun to watch him blow up even more,” Rubio said on Thursday of Trump's barbs, according to NBC Boston.

“He’s a guy that’s sensitive to criticism,” he added. "So he reacts these ways, and it is what it is. This is how he gets attention.”

Sorry, I don’t fault anyone running for President from the Senate because they don’t show up for the vote. They are busy ya know.

That said, some candidates seem to find the time to do their duty.

I just will not count anyone out that misses votes when running for higher office.

That seems to be the medias job to highlight these things.

It is interesting to watch the interaction

the dry cods do not like and can’t really comprehend the interjection of humor and fun

Rubio is in my view the moistest of the dry cods

Rubio needs to be sent down to the minor leagues. Maybe in 8 years he'll be ready for the big leagues

Rubio’s line is to criticize Trump while saying he won’t criticize Trump. He thinks that is so cunning on his part.

“Personally, I am pleased as punch that Trump will defend himself against slurs and innuendos. If Bush had done the same we might have different country today.”

You are so right! That was one of GW’s greatest mistakes. And his brother seems to be willing to go down that same road. Enough is enough.

Trump’s polling keeps blowing upward all “surge-y”, while micro-rube just blows.

The only thing Rubio blows is the GOPe and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when he puts on his kneepads in front of them.

Make no mistake the Clintons know how to take Trump out. They will destroy him in the general, on a personal level. Im not convinced he can beat the Clintons.

Clinton is being politically ambushed by Obama's FBI to clear the way for Biden, Obama's coat-holder.

It’s fun to watch little boy Marco waste his time and money running for an office he has no chance of winning.
Marco go to your room now.

Mark Steyn said on the radio this week that it does not matter that Trump has high negatives when he is running against Hillary Clinton who has high negatives.

don’t focus so tightly on the here and now. unlike Sarah Palin who chose not to continue, Rubio who is also young, can be looking very far down the road

he is learning how to campaign nationally and handle the hordes of presstitute enemies. He is gathering battle scars from the experience. he is learning to deal with individuals convinced that their advice is the only certain way to succeed.

In short, the current campaign is an academic laboratory exercise

I wish I could say it was fun to watch Rubio’s career end, but the damage he has done to the country with his Gang activities makes that impossible.

Says Marco from his 8% poll position. What a joke.

This goes against the grain I know but I think Trump would/will walk all over Biden...it would be a blow out. Clinton is a diff story..IMO.

Here is the Dilbert cartoon creator’s blog re Trump’s linguistic k i l l shots. The technique would work superbly on Hillary, though she’s unlikely to make it that far.

You are giving hildabutchbitch and the pervert way too much credit, the 90s are over.

I don't even think that kankles will survive obama's justice department and the charges that valarie jarrett and lynch will bring against her and her crew.

I think the halfrican's feelings were hurt and he will get revenge.
