Was it sexist when presidential candidate Donald Trump rhetorically asked a Rolling Stone interviewer of Carly Fiorina, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” It certainly seemed so, but Trump later “clarified” that he was speaking of Fiorina’s persona, not her looks.
Today, Trump showed that he was just as willing to criticize a man’s looks, complaining to Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin that MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough had described Marco Rubio as “handsome,” when Trump is clearly the better looking candidate.

Plus, Rubio’s the sweatiest candidate. “He’s the youngest but I have never seen any human being sweat like that,” said Trump in an interview for Bloomberg Politics’ “With All Due Respect” that aired Monday night.

@PhilipRucker Dems gave us handsome in '08 & '12. I don't agree that 0 is handsome but look where that got us.

@PhilipRucker @stephenfhayes @MarkHalperin @Morning_Joe Rubio could shave his ass and walk on his hands and be better looking than Trump.
