Rubio Personally Apologized To Trump For Implying He Had A Small Penis

Rubio Personally Apologized To Trump For Implying He Had A Small Penis
“It’s not who I am and I shouldn’t have done it.”


.....

“I actually told Donald — one of the debates, I forget which one — I apologized to him for that,” Rubio said. “I said, ‘You know, I’m sorry that I said that. It’s not who I am and I shouldn’t have done it.’ I didn’t say it in front of the cameras, I didn’t want any political benefit.”

in front of the cameras, that he "didn't want any political benefit."

Have there been extensive studies of how much political benefit is or is not gained by ridiculing one's opponents' pee-pees? I've never seen Pew or Quinnipiac tackle this pressing issue.

At the very least we'll need one of those Panel interview shows on Wolf Blitzer. Two or three hours ought to cover it. Who says the age of investigative journalism is dead?

It's easy to see who's got actual spines in the GOP. Romney, Lindsey Graham (for a while, not sure if he'll cave now that McCain has), a few columnists, Poppy Bush, Paul Ryan so far, whoever that senator is trying to find a "real Republican" to run 3rd party...

Everyone else is falling in line behind the bully. They're fucking pathetic.

And our culture is besotted by bullyism. There is no better proof than the daily complaints about it. Bullies LOVE to hear those complaints. They Don't won't anyone to do anything about it, except whine & genuflect.
