Fans of Marco Rubio seeing the video of him hitting a child with a football just knew he’d somehow be able to turn things around by the end of the day. When the media went crazy after he took a sip of water during his Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, it wasn’t long before the Rubio campaign store raised more than $100,000 selling official Marco Rubio water bottles.
And just a couple of days after that, Rubio was photographed sharing a toast with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — with water bottles.
Not willing to let the opportunity pass them by, the Rubio campaign wasted no time today getting football-themed T-shirts into the campaign store.

Of course. And don’t forget the Marco polo shirt.
Campaign swag aside, Rubio also had just the right response to ESPN’s tweet.
This pass from presidential candidate Marco Rubio wasn't terrible … but it sure didn't end well for the receiver: http://t.co/fKm4WmF6W3
