I'm not sure if someone who would genuinely support Trump for president has any credibility.

I do buy into the theory that this was just a big accident.

Marco Rubio Misspells 'United States' In Letter To Alaska GOP


It's been a rough month for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

After dropping out of the Republican presidential race after his home state primary, Rubio sent a letter asking the Alaska GOP not to release his bound delegates before the national convention.

There was just one thing amiss: he referred to the delegates he won running for the highest office in the "Untied States."

"The decision to suspend my campaign for president of the Untied States [sic] is not intended to release any national convention delegates bound to me as a result of the 2016 delegate selection process that took place in your state,” he wrote in the letter, addressed to the chair of the state party.

NBC News tweeted a photo of the letter early Wednesday morning.
The undated letter, sent with a carbon copy to national party chair Reince Priebus, is part of Rubio's effort to keep the delegates he won before dropping out, a move to block frontrunner Donald Trump from securing the nomination in the event of a contested convention.

NBC reported Rubio is asking state parties in 21 states and territories to not release the 172 delegates he won in the race.

Maybe he thinks the nation will become untied if Trump wins.

I noticed 'to this matter' and thought it should be 'on this matter' when I saw it on TV.

Oh come on, you know it's just funny, not a scandal.

I think what's more interesting is that he's holding onto the delegates; he's obviously going to be gunning for something at the convention (VP, cabinet head, White House pool boy) and plans to use them as a bargaining tool.

It certainly looks like it. I was under the impression that he's going to go do the make money in the private sector thing for the next 4-8 years while being a regular guest contributor on FOX or something and make his political comeback in one of the next few presidential cycles.

I thought so too; well, at least the first part. I know others have succeeded or gotten close before when it looked like they had the "stink" of a loser on them (like Mitt Romney, at least on the national level), but I think it'd be tough for Rubio to break back into politics without holding some of office or post. Are voters really going to remember him in 4-8 years?

He considers himself a member of "the lucky sperm club."

He trusts no one, and places a premium on revenge. ("If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck!")
He treats every decision he makes "like a lover," sometimes thinking with his head, other times with other parts of his body, because it reminds him to "keep in touch with my basic impulses."
And to make creative choices, he writes: "I try to step back and remember my first shallow reaction. The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience."
"The world is a vicious and brutal place, he wrote in "Think Big." "Even your friends are out to get you: They want your job, they want your house, they want your money, they want your wife, and they even want your dog.''
"When people wrong you, go after those people, because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it," he writes. "I always get even."
