Marco Rubio has awkward confrontation with Rafael Cruz, Cruz staffer in hotel lobby

The DP ^ | 2/20/16 | By Ellie Schroeder

Let's dispel the notion that Marco Rubio did not know who he was talking to. When Rubio walked into the lobby of the Columbia Hampton Inn this morning -- conveniently the same one where the Daily Pennsylvanian staffers are posting up in South Carolina and were eating breakfast around 10:30 a.m. -- he was presumably not expecting to run into Rafael Cruz, father of presidential candidate Ted Cruz, and Cruz campaign staffer Christian Collins.

However, once he saw them he decided to have some fun with them.

"Got a good book there," Rubio said to Collins, a young Cruz staffer in a suit, about the book he was reading over his cup of coffee.

"Not many answers in it, especially that one" Rubio added tersely and walked out of the lobby without a backward glance.

Collins was visibly taken aback after being addressed by his boss' political rival. Rafael Cruz and Collins proceeded to discuss under the incident in hushed voices for several minutes.

UPDATE: a Cruz staffer just confirmed that the book in question was a Bible.

An Open Message to All Marco Rubio Supporters:


I am a Florida Tea Party Evangelical Christian who was DUPED in 2010 (along with perhaps 5 million Florida conservatives) by that "lying bastard" Marco Rubio.

Hence, we have earned (the very hard way) learning the TRUE duplicity of Marco "Gang of Eight" Rubio.



Did Marco speak eloquently on ABC today ? Probably so.

Marco Rubio is "extremely talented" at being a backstabbing "lying bastard" public speaker.

Was Hitler a GREAT orator ? Absolutely.

Is Obama a GREAT orator ? Absolutely (with a teleprompter).

So I don't give a hoot in hell over Marco Rubio's "pretty Dondi cabana gay-boy" IMPERSONATIONS of a Conservative AMERICAN Patriot.



Rubio LIED THRU-HIS-BEAUTIFUL-SMILING-TEETH for YEARS on end to Florida Conservatives about NEVER supporting Illegal Amnesty.

Now, if you live in Wisconsin, Texas or New York, all that probably doesn't that much to you.

But to US Floridians ... it "actually" does.



I have no idea of where the Florida primary will go (15 March 2016) ...

BUT I will do everything I can to STOP that "lying bastard" Marco Rubio from victory in Florida's 99-delegate Winner-Take-All primary.



Even as far as, as a Ted Cruz Florida campaigner,

to vote for Donald Trump (Blessed be his name, /sarcasm-off) ... IF the election is close ...

if that's what it takes to DESTROY Marco Rubio's political future.



Marco "Gang of Eight" Rubio is simply a (much) younger version of Juan McCain and Mitch "The Bastard" McConnell.

By the Way .... the political "dirty little secret" that you'll NEVER hear Fox News ask Rubio to talk about ...

is exactly WHY would a (handsome, Hispanic) first-term U.S. Senator from a "Hispanic state" ...

STRANGELY RETREAT from seeking an otherwise "easy" re-ection ?


WHY ?

Because as MOST experienced Florida political observers KNOW ...

Marco Rubio would be DEFEATED (in Primary) because Rubio "shafted" his Florida Conservative Base SO BADLY after his 2010 election.

Maybe Rush Limbaugh (as a Florida voter) will discuss this FACT someday ...

What do You think ?

[novemberslady]

He said he hates his job.
You know, the job he was elected to, the one people like me helped him get...

So I guess he's worried about being Fired.
I hope he is.

Update at source

The book in question is a BIBLE.

I’m no fan of Rubio, but what special sort of stupid would he have to be, to say that about the Bible, if he knew that’s what the Cruz staffer was reading?

[Slyfox]

Rubio's plan was 3-2-1.

He was going to come in third in Iowa, come in second in NH and first in SC.

Whoopsie.

[left that other site]

I second that emotion.

[pilgrim]

Must take and get his INSPIRATION from the other side?

Satanic bible???

WOW. He needs advisors, before he speaks!!!

[trisham]

I didn’t hear that second part at all.

[trisham]

It doesn’t make any sense.

[MLL]

Just another incident or comment that shows people what I have been saying about Rubio. Sad that the voters of SC cast their vote for this guy.

[pilgrim]

Rubio in Iowa!!

“................With days to go before Monday’s Iowa caucuses, Marco Rubio has suddenly and emphatically found his religion as he seeks to sway the evangelicals who are likely to dominate the contest. During the last pre-caucus debate on Thursday night in Des Moines, the senator from Florida regularly found a way to squeeze in talk of his faith, even when it had no apparent bearing on the question at hand.

“Well, let me be clear about one thing, there’s only one savior and it’s not me,” Rubio said when asked if he could be the savior of the GOP. “It’s Jesus Christ, who came down to Earth and died for our sins.”

Later, when asked to back up a few attacks against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the previous debate, Rubio once again turned to religion. “You’ve just asked a very fundamental question about the role of faith in our country,” he said. “And I think this is an important question. I think if you do not understand that our Judeo-Christian values are one of the reasons why America is such a special country, you don’t understand our history.””
................

Guess we have to determine which is “Political speak”????

[silly.kerry.trix.are.for.kids]

Trump will never get my vote.

[RegulatorCountry]

While I’m leery of appearing to defend Rubio because he’s just not a candidate I can get behind, I can’t believe he knew what the book was if he actually said that.

[Springfield Reformer]

ping for later

[JJ_Folderol]

What a nasty little man.

[trisham]

What he said was so garbled I can’t undstand it. He was turning and walking away, so the sound quality was extremely poor.

I can’t imagine why he would have said it, either.

[trisham]

I can’t stand him.

Wonder why Rubio said that,,does he follow The Book of Mormon now? Is it possible that Glenn Beck joined the wrong campaign team?
