Meet the man [Rubio Supporter] behind the "Trump is disgusting" skywriting [Rose Bowl]
CBS News ^

Posted on 01/01/2016 3:08:39 PM PST by springwater13

A millionaire real estate developer -- who also happens to be a donor to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential campaign - is behind the aerial messages at the Rose Bowl calling GOP front-runner Donald Trump "disgusting" and he says that there's more to come. Much more.

"There's no place for him," said Stan Pate, from Alabama. "He needs to go back to one of his tall towers and build buildings and whatever else he does. He's a despicable man."

"I want to see America wake up and say this is not what we expect," he added.

Those hosting a tailgate party at the Rose Bowl on New Years Day might have been surprised to look up to the sky and see messages blasting Trump. Multiple planes spewed cloud-like messages castigating the GOP front-runner, such as "AMERICA IS GREAT, TRUMP IS DISGUSTING. ANYBODY BUT TRUMP." The messages quickly went viral on social media and created a buzz for those attending the 127th Rose Parade, the annual ritual on New Year's Day in Pasadena, California.

Guess Rubio won’t be in Trump’s cabinet. Then neither will be Jeb.

Because people who create new things that employ people and generate profits are not the kind of people we want running our government! We want people who think in terms of taxing and spending...and not necessarily in that order. /s

Well, Stan, you just added 2 more poll points to The Donald’s polling.

From your link.....

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.


Another Rubio/RINO/GOPee FAIL.

Has Don Trump helped any of his drug dealing relatives like Marco Rubio has?

Tuscaloosa developer Stan Pate convicted of menacing

Tuscaloosa developer Stan Pate has been convicted of menacing and ordered to spend 30 days in jail and 150 days on supervised probation.

The Tuscaloosa News reports Saturday that Municipal Court Judge Madelene L. Hollingsworth also ordered the 52-year-old Pate to pay a $250 fine, plus court costs.

The developer was charged after brandishing a 12-gauge shotgun during a dispute last year at the now-closed Santa Fe Cattle Co. restaurant.

Funny thing is, everyone will be talking about that sky-writing.

They just gave Trump headlines again on the first day of 2016.

Those who like Trump will think the skywriter was a nutjob, and some of those who hadn’t decided to vote for him yet may just do so because of this.

People are sick of D. C., and the usual suspects.

Thank you Rubio and your supporters. Excellent work.

So this “Rubio supporter” is finding himself where he could conceivably be vastly outspent, and he wants to get his licks in early.

Does Mr. Pate not know what happens to those who attack The Donald? He is about to get a very sharply delivered rebuke and just maybe a fetch upside the head. And it will push The Donald even FURTHER ahead in the polls.

Well... first you’d need to have those types of relatives.

Does Trump have that type of relatives?

I knew it had to be either a GOPe’er or a ‘RAT. This guy fits both criteria...as does Rubio IMHO.

I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.

The most sharp thing Trump could do to this man, is destroy the business of Pate. Just a millionaire real estate businessman; how unlucky he will be when destroyed by Trump.
