“You guys wanna have a little fun today?” said Marco Rubio, preparing his crowd for what would, undoubtedly, be a gut-busting round of political tom-foolery.

At a campaign event in Kennesaw, Georgia, on Saturday, the Republican presidential candidate bashed frontrunner Donald Trump, responding to comments made after last week’s Republican debate:

“Last night he was actually pretty calm after I punched him around a little bit. He’s learning how to spell, I guess. But he’s flying around on Hair Force One and tweeting.”

Hair Force One! Wow, that’s a new one. He went on:

“So here’s the one tweet he put out, he put out a picture of me having makeup put on me at the debate, which is amazing me to me, that the guy with the worst spray tan in America is attacking me for putting on makeup. Donald Trump likes to sue people; he should sue whoever did that to his face.”

True, Trump’s skin color is confounding at best. Rubio, however, should be careful about cracking any hair jokes—that could come back around to bite him.
