Rubio has shown in his short time in office that he isn’t anything but a slick, fast talking politician that is only worried about himself and about furthering his political future. I think that this little stint will backfire big time, whether he knew about it or not because the more that Trump is attacked the stronger he will get. Like him or not, Trump is riding on the frustration of what all of us are feeling and that is that all politicians are liars and care nothing about anything but what they can do for themselves. Trump is on the path to win this election because America last elected a man that didn’t have experience at anything except being a politician and we see how that has turned out! Trump at least has a background, and that background is well known.

“an Alabama real estate developer worth millions—has donated thousands of dollars to Rubio’s electoral efforts.”

Having swung a hammer or two in my day, in Texas, I can PROMISE YOU that the ONLY THING this guy wants is a continuous supply of CHEAP LABOR, legal or not.

...therefore Rubio is certainly his man.

When Rubio then clicked his heels 3 times and said there is no place like home, he ended up in Cuba!

Why do you assume those things did not damage my opinion?

“But mooooooom! Johnny did it before I did and he was worse!” Is not a reasonable defense of poor behavior.

Rubio could not have John Edwards like skeletons in his closet. Cheating on his wife on the campaign trail, his wife with terminal cancer, even running For President when your wife is dying of cancer is wrong, but he was cheating on her, and got his little bimbo pregnant, while on the campaign trail! Rubio gets close to that level of scum?

Why would Trump stoop to some cheezzy stunt slamming some other guy when he’s killing all of them? What would you suggest, Trump get some crop duster to write “With Carson and Cruz you Lose”? Come on.

Cheezy.

Rubio is a scum-bag, low-life GOPe traitor to Americans.

He shares those titles with Jeb Bush and Karl Rove.

No kidding. BI like IBD have both outed themselves as GOPe tools.

I never trust them on “conservative” politics any more.

Don’t discount Jeb in this cunning stunt ...

Jeb Bush Super PAC Chief Praises Marco Rubio Donor’s Anti-Donald Trump Skywriting Campaign

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-the-man-behind-the-rose-bowl-skywriting-bash-of-donald-trump/

For 2016, Pate was an early donor to Rubio’s campaign. According to FEC filings, Pate gave $5,200 to his presidential campaign committee in early 2015, but he says he’s officially undecided. He’s also donated to many other Republicans in the past. In 2004, Pate cut a $25,000 check to the Republican National Committee. Pate also contributed tens of thousands to joint fundraising committees supporting various Republican state parties in 2004 and again in 2008, also supporting Sen. John McCain’s presidential run.

Pate has also donated to Democrats. In 2007, Pate donated $2,300 to the presidential campaigns of former senators John Edwards, of South Carolina, and Chris Dodd, of Connecticut.

(snip)

The Rose Bowl has become an unexpected political hotbed - somewhat because of one of the game’s participants hailing from an early nominating state. The super PAC supporting former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, Right To Rise USA, descended on Pasadena to set up a tent at an Iowa Hawkeye tailgate party. On Thursday, during the pre-Rose Bowl party aboard the USS Iowa, organizers handed out “Hawkeyes for Jeb” cozies and stickers to Iowa fans. The super PAC event had a custom Snapchat filter that displayed the same message. Democratic front-runner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rubio all will run commercials during the game on ESPN.

Looks like this developer wanted 16 million from the city. Boycott this SOB or whatever you do to destroy his business.

Your attitude is exactly why we need to get rid of the Federal Elections Commission and having the government demanding to know who paid for a political opinion to be expressed.

People like you want to use the information to destroy and silence those who have a different opinion. This is why you openly state you want to destroy a mans business.

Obviously "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it" has no bearing here when you want to use the power of the government, to essentially destroy Free Political Speech. This is exactly why liberals have corrupted the government to collect the data in the first place. So that they could attack and silence political speech they disagreed with.

Someone expressed a political opinion we disagreed with. So what? It is up to individuals to process all the information and make their own decision. Do you really think some voter is going to think, "I recall some skywriting over the Rose Bowl a few weeks ago ...." Yet you want to go after and destroy someone for expressing a political opinion?

Should we hire and dire people based upon who they vote for? Is this not the end game if those who want to destroy people, as you called for?

We need Free Speech, to remain a Free Society. This is why it was protected in the Constitution. Those who would use the State, or State Collected Data, to destroy someone whose political opinion differs, really do not see the value of free speech.

The Stealth Bomber is quite an impressive sight! I saw it once years ago airborne near Langley AFB, VA ... at first it shocked me as it looked nothing like your “traditional” fighter aircraft. When you see it flying up close like that, it’s something you never forget, that’s for sure!
