Trump/Rubio: U.S. presidential primaries reach childish levels with weird accusations and actions

Posted by admin American Politics, Headlines Saturday, February 27th, 2016

It’s been an extraordinary 24 hours in the poisonous relationship between Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Donald Trump. Florida Senator Marco Rubio landed some jabs on Mr Trump during Thursday night’s debate, and the two of them continued their verbal assaults the next day. Mr Rubio appeared on morning shows and then at Texas rallies to describe the billionaire businessman as, among other things, a “con-artist” who was hijacking the Republican party.
His rival, who has won three states and is the clear favourite to be the Republican nominee, hit back by calling the senator “low-life”. There were also some unexpected forms of mockery. Here’s a selection. From sweating and wearing makeup to drinking too much water, the insults have been flying. Mr Trump ridiculed Mr Rubio for applying make-up backstage at the debate, saying it looked like he put it on with a trowel. He even suggested he needs make-up to cover up his ears. Mr Rubio said he saw Mr Trump applying makeup backstage, as well, because he had a “sweat moustache” he needed to cover up.
