Following his endorsement from Bridgegate Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ), Donald Trump opened a bottle of water on stage and with a flick of his wrist, destroyed Senator Marco Rubio (R-FLA) by shouting, “It’s Rubio!”

On stage following Chris Christie endoresement Donald J. Trump opens bottle of water on stage and throws on stage– "It's Rubio!"Marco Rubio will join me tonight on #SpecialReport 6pmET on Fox News

With the crowd screaming in ecstasy, Trump put the water bottle up to his mouth while he made sucking faces in what can only be described as full on contempt for Rubio. The Republican base loves Trump’s contempt and disdain. The more he hates the more they worship.
This is why I have never understood the Republican establishment putting all of their eggs in the Rubio basket. The Republican Senator is just so easy to destroy, and it doesn’t even take an attention span to get it. This is not a good trait for a presidential candidate.
There is no need to even get into Rubio not showing up for his job (a trait that is apparently contagious as a majority of the Republicans in the Senate are now refusing to do their jobs) or Rubio’s convenient and on-going “confusion” about which credit card he was using causing him to charge the Florida Republican party for his home’s pavers and double billing for trips.
It’s just a water bottle and a flick of a wrist. And done.
