Ted Cruz today fired his director of communications, Rick Tyler, over a video released over the weekend that appeared to depict Marco Rubio insulting the bible.

Donald Trump’s made no secret of the fact that he thinks Canadian man Ted Cruz isn’t actually eligible to be our next president. But now, Trump is extending that claim to include Marco Rubio.

Marco Rubio has decided to dispel the rumor that he is, in fact, a robot by lightening up a little. First on the docket: talking smack to Ted Cruz’s 76-year-old father.

Few endorsements are enough to convincingly, without a shred of a doubt, predict the candidate who will become the leader of this many-splendored country. But the country’s foremost pundit and ex-Funky Bunch member Donnie Wahlberg has spoken, and the race can, for all intents and purposes, end.

Mitt Romney, a man not really known for making good choices, is set to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio for the Republican presidential candidacy.

There was a story about Marco Rubio in the front section of the New York Times this morning. Not on the front page—the front page was for “Trump Fires Back at Sharp Rebuke by Pope Francis”—but page A18. “Rubio’s Expectations Up in South Carolina Vote” was the headline.

Tonight’s going to be weird. In one corner, we have Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson engaging in an ostensibly civil “town hall” on CNN (the other three get their shot tomorrow night). In the other corner, Donald Trump and Joe Scarborough will be doing... something. Either way, we’ll be liveblogging every last second of it.

At a campaign rally in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Tuesday, Marco Rubio deflected a supporter’s suggestion to “waterboard Hillary” with a laugh. “The press is here,” he said, the AP reports, before smiling and adding, “I didn’t hear what they said. I know it wasn’t a bad word.”

Racist earthenware clay pot Donald Trump told an audience Monday he’d make a better president than sweaty Marco Rubio because Rubio “looks like he just came out of a swimming pool.”

It’s not that it’s surprising a political ad would feature indiscriminately selected, wholly unrelated b-roll to sell a candidate to the American public. It’s that they didn’t even bother to excise the Canadian flag from the opening shot clearly featuring Vancouver’s skyline.

Earlier today, Gawker reported that struggling presidential candidate Marco Rubio cracked a molar on a Twix bar. Sad, we thought. How did this happen?

After coming in a depressing fifth place in the New Hampshire primary this week, Marco Rubio is coming undone. Just look at him.

Marco Rubio apparently didn’t realize how badly he’d bombed Saturday’s debate until he saw all the mean tweets about his performance on Twitter.

Robot Rubio apologized to his friends, family, and programmers on Tuesday night—following what looks to be an uninspiring fifth place finish—for having been such a mess at Saturday’s debate. “I did not do well on Saturday night,” he said. “That will never happen again.”

Marco Rubio is broken.

After suffering yet another malfunction in New Hampshire last night, the slowly corroding motherboard that is Marco Rubio had a little visit from a few of his friends this morning.

Whatever frantic hackathon Marco Rubio’s programmers conducted after Chris Christie demagnetized their creation on Saturday night seems only to have made the existing problems worse, as the junior senator from Florida stumbled through his stump speech on Monday. Maybe try turning it off and turning it back on again?

Reports of an email promising Marco Rubio better coverage if he’d just appear on Morning Joe have apparently prompted host Joe Scarborough to take to several mediums to hammer home a single point: He’s really not jealous of Marco Rubio.

PLYMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE—Inside of Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday in northern New Hampshire, the press stayed inside of a tiny prison, where they were safe. Surrounding them: haters.

Marco Rubio, once a young, wide-eyed Senator with a thick head of hair and a skip in his step, was once thought to be the GOP’s best bet. Now, he is a caricature of a broken robot.
