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.

The more I see and hear Rubio, the less I like him and his actions

In reading history Reagan had his hands full with Bush senior especially the remarks about voodoo economics. Reagan goes on to make him his VP running mate.

As your article there says, this guy Pate did something like this stunt before, hiring a plane to fly a banner over the 2010 Rose Bowl game in order to make a political statement about another political figure back them.   (Here's that banner.)

(Source for that photo - see this story about Pate's earlier political "sky-writing" episode.)

He was chased away by Trump’s jet. Priceless.

I’m aware. I suspect that Reagan was asked to take Bush as his VP.

That being said. If Trump is going to put a fellow candidate in his cabinet it would likely be Cruz and maybe Carson. Outside of those two, I find it hard that Trump would employ anyone else.

Somehow he has to come up with his Cabinet. I can see Cruz as VP and Carson as Sec’y of State.

True. I want to know more about Rubio in laws.

People don’t just fall into wholesale drug trafficking. They are Colombian.

Watch as the USS Trump aims a broadside at this rival real estate developer and Rubio. Not a wise move on the part of this fellow.

So, people look up and see “Trump is disgusting” and say to themselves, “Finally! I have been waiting for a disgusting candidate to vote for for.”

That is very big tent approach, I suppose.

Rubio is going down because of this. Anything can and will happen in the next 90 days. I discount nothing! Its going to be a wild roller-Coaster ride.
