Just when it seems like the GOP presidential primary couldn’t possibly sink even lower into the mud, Florida senator Marco Rubio has proven he’s up to the challenge. During a campaign appearance in Virginia, the candidate insinuated that opponent Donald Trump has a small penis.
Trump’s digits have been dubbed “shrimp fingers” by Washington Free Beacon blogger Andrew Stiles, but the observation isn’t new. Desparate for a way to insult Trump, Rubio has reached for gossip and innuendo.
After Trump called his opponent “Little Marco Rubio” on Twitter yesterday, Rubio fired back during his rally after acknowledging that Trump is taller than he is. Rubio pointed out Trump’s unusually short fingers and then followed it up with a sharp jab below the belt.
“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” the senator said.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As the crowd laughed uneasily, Rubio delivered his punchline. “You can’t trust ’em!”
Rubio also took aim at Trump’s notorious orange complexion, saying Trump “doesn’t sweat because his pores are clogged from the spray tan. Donald Trump isn’t gonna make America great, he’s gonna make America orange.”
I mean seriously, they’re going to have to use one of those pocket Bibles to swear him in. #ShrimpFingers pic.twitter.com/jQtxO5KtrI

What’s disturbing about the GOP and the public in general is no one (other than Trump) has mention the fact that not ONE sitting senator has endorsed any of the other candidates. What does that tell you as far as their confidence in the losers who are running in the GOP field?
This guy (Trump) has forced the GOP to say if he wins tomorrows Super Tuesday (which I hope he does) they, the GOP, are going to back a third party candidate. They have said so publicly. These are the same people who were hellbent to make Trump promise not to do what they have no other choice but to do. It wold not surprise me at all to learn that those protesters at his rally today in Virginia were “bused” in by the GOP to help derail Trump. They are only making him stronger.
I ask you, isn’t karma a bitch?

So the former coke snorting frequenter of parks where gay for pay hustlers go to meet tricks is making dick size jokes. Nice
Bob LaBlah
@Juanjo: Between me and you how long do you think it will be before Trumps “takes off the gloves” and reminds him about those bubble parties and his constant smiles while dancing with nothing else but men. You think this might be why no one in the senate is endorsing him?
She can claim to be a conservative all she wants but in the eyes of my fellow southerners Halley’s endorsement of Rubio was an act of a liberal. This is simply too good not to be fattening.

These are our possible future presidents? I’m so glad I’m a Democrat. It’s a national embarrassment. If I were a Republican, I’d switch parties immediately. What corn-ball asses!

IOW…Marco had more fun with the water bottle.

Do real people vote for these idiots? USA is in deep shit. You should feel ashamed.

Billy Budd, The political oxen on the Supreme Court allowed “Citizens United” decision to have billionaires buy elections. The wealthy, white, entitled, out-dated billionaires choose geeks, essentially making Trump look less wadified. Electile dysfunction.

I’m also bitter towards Rubio for making our nation picture Trump’s nasty unit.

The ridiculous thing about the media is that they have dubbed Trump the extremist merely because he speaks louder.
He isn’t saying anything different about Latinos, African Americans, and Muslims than FOX News and many senior republicans have insinuated over the years, he is just saying it more plainly.
So Rubio’s tax plan would eviscerate the nation, Cruz attended a meeting headed by a group calling for the legalized slaughter of LGBT people and yet Trump is the extremist?
FOX and the GOP have been pushing these views for years, and now they act shocked that all of that talk actually had an effect on the base. If you poll the GOP base they basically think that the major problems of the country are, All the fantastic jobs going to illegals, ISIS about to invade, and all crime being committed by black men.
And now they don’t understand why their base is rallying around a guy saying it all out loud.
Idiots.
This is why, no matter which Dem you support, even if you don’t like the other one, if your candidate loses in the primary, suck it up and vote for the other one. It’s either that or don’t complain about President Trump or Cruz.

Toss in some good ol’ religion and guns for good measure. Religion covers every ‘social issue’ out there for Republicans.
@Billy Budd:
Idiots voting for idiots! I’d only be ashamed if I voted for one of those cretins. The GOP is a national embarrassment and a disgrace.

@DCguy: “This is why, no matter which Dem you support, even if you don’t like the other one, if your candidate loses in the primary, suck it up and vote for the other one. It’s either that or don’t complain about President Trump..” (I intentionally left out that other candidate in the quote).
I am a former Reagan democrat who once again will vote republican IF Trump is the nominee. The reason is Trump is showing the entire world just what the GOP has become since Reagan left office. A rudderless aircraft carrier without communications or a captain in charge.
Up until she was appointed to take the seat of the late Sen. Moynihan of New York you couldn’t hit Hillary in the ass with a red apple in regards to being at anything supporting gay rights. Did SHE ever appear at a gay pride parade in NYC before hand? Get real people. No matter who wins we are not going to come out any better. She will return to her old self if she wins as Trump will remain himself if he does. So which do you think is better? Trump spoke against gay marriage but he never condemned gays in general. Personally I saw no need to walk down an aisle as my parents did just to show the world I loved another man so much I wanted the world to know I would spend the rest of my life with him. Who cares? NOT doing that is what made us unique and was part of our identity. Keep them guessing but now it MUST be flaunted in the faces of the church. I am an atheist by the way.
Hillary knew the day would come when she ran for office and would need their support which is the only reason she kept her views to herself, especially in NYC. That day is here and she aint getting mine.

For someone like Marco who has shown obvious contempt for gay people, he sure does show an interest in the size of other men’s genitalia.

Mr. DRUMPF (thank you, John Oliver!) has been called “the short-fingered vulgarian” since the ’80s, long before he had any political aspirations.
See John Oliver’s hilarious, most recent HBO show explaining the history of Mr. DRUMPF.
@Kieran: Well, I hate to even imagine it, but Marco “Robo” must have been the most boring Latino in gay sex, like, ever!
DCguy
@Bob LaBlah:
So your attitude is, you will purposely vote against the candidate who actually advanced gay rights at the State dept. and who is making gay LGBT rights part of her platform because she didn’t support them a decade ago in favor of the candidate who has said that he would appoint Supreme Court Justices who would overturn same sex marriage?
Try to parse that out and defend it anyway you can but the logic doesn’t hold up.
Bob LaBlah
@DCguy: “Try to parse that out and defend it anyway you can but the logic doesn’t hold up.”
No problem. I was never on board with gay marriage and feel as though the religious institutions WERE forced to accept what they clearly were against from day one. Gay marriage DOES rock the foundation of what these people do believe; a man is up in the sky watching over all of us and told man that it was wrong to do that.
Trump never said he was going to take away laws banning discrimination against gays in employment and housing. He simply wants the church to go back to whom it was set up for and I see no problem with that.
kevininbuffalo
@Bob LaBlah: No church is being forced to perform “Gay marriages.” Some,like the Episcopalians, UCC and Unitarians do perform Gay marriages. Unfortunately most don’t. Put no church is being forced to go against it’s beliefs.

Humiliated the dork right on the stage.
wow. I could play this loop repeatedly and not get tired of seeing Trump humiliate his New Jersey minion.
Chris Christie is such a wad. My spouse and I called it last week. Bend over.

Where’s Alistair Wiseman? You would think he would have something to say about his precious GOP.

@Bob LaBlah: Like you I do not want to get married and that is my decision (and yours). Same sex marriage however, is not just about you and me but for all those who do want to get married and have the same rights as any straight couple. The world does not revolve around you and you only.
Bob LaBlah
@wade.l: Touche’. lol
Bob LaBlah
@1EqualityUSA: If you listened close (and I am sure you did) what happened tonight was historic. Christy, not Trump, all but said if Trump is not the nominee there is going to be a split in the party. Think back to what he said about a “movement” and what a movement means. The GOP as we knew it no longer exists. This is what happens when no leadership is present.
In comparison the current GOP Chairman, Rinse Something-orother, makes former GOP Chairman Michael Steele look, sound and acted like Flava Flav.
1EqualityUSA
Flava Flav! hahaha! I contend that if the billionaires, assisted by the political oxen on the Supreme Court, had stayed out of it and just let the process work, they wouldn’t be cryin’ in their beers right now. Citizens United backfired.

Marriage is a contract, a legally binding contract. Just because we are unpopular Americans does not mean we are ineligible to partake in these legalities.

As Lindsey Graham said” the Republican Party has gone bat shit crazy “. All this is just making them all look more unappealing— so keep it up guys!!!!
