Republican Party presidential hopeful Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had an embarrassing week, and that may only continue next week.
Thats because people in Rubios home state of Florida will vote in a primary election for who they believe should be president. One recent poll from CNN/ORC found that Rubio trails Donald Trump 24 percent to 40 percent, according to Politico. Other polls show that Trump beats 45 percent to 22 percent and 42 percent to 20 percent.
But, of course, more recent polls show Rubios deficit may be shrinking. A Washington Post-Univision News poll found Trump only leads Rubio by 7 percentage points.
Why all the trouble for Rubio? Some political pundits and even some Rubio supporters said Rubio often thought to be the Republican Partys establishment candidate and clear choice for the presidential nominee fell in the eyes of Floridians and Americans when he started attacking Trump with the real estates own medicine: dirty tactics and insults, according to CNN.
This started about two weeks ago when the 44-year-old senator said Trumps hand size was a reflection of his character, alluding to the idea that Trumps manhood may also be small. Furthermore, Rubio called Trump a con artist, CNN reported.
These comments apparently hurt him.
"I don't think he needed to get down, deep and dirty," Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Rubio supporter, told CNN. "I think he knows that was a mistake. It was against his personality, and I think that hurt him a little bit."
But it wasnt just the politicians and pundits who felt this way. Rubio told audience members in a MSNBC town hall meeting in Florida Wednesday night that his children were even embarrassed by his dirty comments, according to New Republic.
My kids were embarrassed by it, and if I had to do it again I wouldnt, he said.
Its not surprising Rubios children felt embarrassed. Young children often are embarrassed by their parents for a number of reasons. A survey done last year found that children are most often embarrassed when their parents dance in public, when their parents show public displays of affection or when they use youth slang, The Telegraph reported.
Children also feel embarrassed when their parents wear clothes that arent age appropriate, tell cringeworthy stories (likely the case with Rubio and his kids) and join social media and befriend their youngsters, The Telegraph reported.
We may not have seen Rubios children express their embarrassment when he made comments against Trump, but there are other instances when children have shown how embarrassed they are by their parents. Here are 10 times children were embarrassed by something their parents did.
