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.

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?
He was going to come in third in Iowa, come in second in NH and first in SC.
Whoopsie.
I second that emotion.
Must take and get his INSPIRATION from the other side?
Satanic bible???
WOW. He needs advisors, before he speaks!!!
I didn’t hear that second part at all.
It doesn’t make any sense.
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.
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”????
Trump will never get my vote.
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.
ping for later
What a nasty little man.
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.
I can’t stand him.
“”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.

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