Drumpf Throws A Tantrum And Threatens To Run Third Party Because Marco Rubio Is Mean

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/28/trump-throws-tantrum-threatens-run-party-marco-rubio.html

To summarize, Donald Trump is throwing a tantrum and threatening to run third party because Marco Rubio and the GOP are being mean to him. What seems to have gotten under Trump’s Boehneresque orange skin were Rubio’s claims that Trump is a fake tough guy, who inherited $200 million, and wet himself at the Republican debate.

On Friday, Rubio said, “He called me Mr. Meltdown. Let me tell you something, last night in the debate during one of the breaks, two of the breaks, he went backstage, and he was having a meltdown. First he had one of those makeup things applying around his mustache because he had one of those sweat mustaches. Then, then he asked for a full-length mirror, I don’t know why because the podium goes up to here. I don’t know why maybe to make sure his pants weren’t wet. Then I see him pacing back and forth, and then he’s huddled in the corner talking to somebody, and he’s like waving his arms up and down and the person’s trying to calm him down.”

The phrase not treating me well is Trump code for being criticized. If anyone challenges or criticizes Donald Trump, they are not treating him well. Donald Trump is throwing a tantrum and threatening to take his ball and run as an Independent. Trump is challenging Richard Nixon for the title of the most thin-skinned frontrunner is presidential election history.

It’s doubtful that Trump would be willing to spend the money needed to mount a serious third-party campaign, but if Donald Trump can’t handle criticism from Marco Rubio, he will have no chance against the Democratic nominee this fall.

animals.

With the notable exception that rabid animals likely have better command of the issues.

Or maybe the GOP should start their third party.
Whoever does it, make it soon!
