It turns out that the millionaire GOP establishment donor who bankrolled the anti-Donald Trump skywriting at the Rose Bowl parade on New Year’s Day isn’t just any ordinary donor-class millionaire. He’s backing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% , the man who is emerging as the anti-conservative establishment and donor-class candidate for president in 2016.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Luther Stan Pate IV—an Alabama real estate developer worth millions—has donated thousands of dollars to Rubio’s electoral efforts.
On Jan. 29, 2015, Pate donated $5,200 to Rubio—who, at the time, hadn’t yet officially launched a presidential campaign but was acting as if he were running for president.
Just days earlier, ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reported exclusively that Rubio had hired Anna Rogers, then the finance director for Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, to lead “the effort to raise the $50 million or more he’ll need to run in the Republican primaries.â€
“He has told us to proceed as if he is running for president,†a senior Rubio adviser told ABC News for the piece, which ran on Jan. 23, 2015—six days before Pate’s donation to Rubio.

If your opinion of Rubio wasn’t just slightly above Schumer, you haven’t been paying attention. He is a lying slimy lazy turd of the first order.
Iowans....
Iowa is playing in the Rose Bowl.
Yep low-brow behavior.
As opposed to this:

Trump wouldn't something so Mickey Mouse.
Nor would he respond with a cartoon if someone attacked his family.
Trump do wouldn't something so Mickey Mouse.
Of course he would. And Trump fans would love it.
He just got beat at his own game today.
He'll come back with something better.
So true lol
The sky writing was Mickey Mouse stuff, by next week Tuesday no one will be talking about it.
Monday is the last day this will ever be mentioned.
Watch and see if I’m not correct.
If Trump did something, they’d still be talking about it the following Sunday.
Remember ‘schlonged’?
That's why I hate these type articles...
We play connect the dots...
A Rubio supporter forks out the money to do this stupid stunt and somehow must Rubio is connected or has given tacit approval...
He might be for all we know, or he could be completely clueless on what this guy did...
I would bet clueless...Rubio isn't THAT stupid...
BTW, he's my senator and I regret to my every bones voting for this turd...
Ok thank you very much. Not much into football.
Shouldn’t Hillary be receiving this?
The guy who paid for it has done it before at the 2010 Rose Bowl.
“Jan. 7, the day of the national championship football game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns. Pate paid for an airplane to circle the Rose Bowl and surrounding area for several hours towing a banner with 7-foot-tall letters spelling out ‘Impeach Corrupt Alabama Governor Bob Riley.’”

Liar
Amen to that! And those are his good points.
But shouldn’t they clear the airspace over the even with the terrorist situation? I know I’m not a security person but it seems pretty risky. There’s also white guys who have been “radicalized” so you can’t tell by looking at them.
Just saying’ that could have been a mess.
I would think so.
Wow, that was poetic.
Did the guy ask rubio for the okay to do this? If he did, did rubio say yes? If he did not, will rubio come out and speak about it? Will this help, hurt, or do nothing to rubio’s numbers? I just wonder what nut thinks he can do that.. and at the Rose Bowl. It could sink a leaning ship.
Ridiculous slander. Trump hasn’t attacked anyone. He’s a counter puncher.
Nice work! He just ended rubio’s campaign and we didn’t even have to break a sweat!
