Junior Senator from Florida and presidential hopeful Marco Rubio was throwing footballs to a line of kids at the Iowa State Fair on Tuesday when one youngster ran a fly route and this happened:
.@marcorubio goes long in Iowa... and... d'oh. Don't worry, the kid's okay! http://t.co/Ly9sThFm0T https://t.co/6NtUT5Eqhk
Maybe he overestimated the kid's speed a little bit, but it's hard to pin that KO on Rubio.
But it's probably not exactly how Rubio's campaign manager envisioned the effort to humanize the GOP candidate and a show he's a sportsman.
