It's been a rough 2016 for Marco Rubio.
He was bullied by Chris Christie and ???? ?????? ???? ????? ??????Donald Trump and failed to win his home state of Florida before bowing out of a Republican primary many tapped him to win.

It's understandable now that the burden of a national campaign is off his shoulders he can unwind and relax a little bit. But on Monday night, Rubio unleashed a string of angry tweets that showed more fire than he ever did on the campaign trail.
Rubio had tweeted sparingly since his suspended his presidential campaign in mid-March but then slowly returned, including poking the Today Showover a story and pulling a Seinfeld by complaining about airplane seats.

But then he let rip on Monday night, spurred on, it seems by a Washington Poststory that declared he wouldn't consider being Trump's VP.

Okay, Marco, that must feel good to get that off your chest. You've had a very frustrating spring and-
Oh, wait.
More, you say? On your political future?
Go right ahead.

I'd say all he's missing is "#SarcasmFont" but it's pretty clear his tone here because I'm getting third-degree burns just reading this hot fire. A hot fire which would have really come in handy in that GOP debate when he was getting pushed around by "Reek" Christie.
Oh, but wait. There's more. Lots more.

Damn, Marco. That's pretty good. But it gets better because what's not to love about a nighttime tweetstorm?

That is the PURE FIRE OF 10,000 SUNS. What else you got, Marco?

Ok, fine. But this reads less like a slow increase of the dosage and more like shotgunning a few beers after you've done a keg stand and downed a half-bottle of bottom shelf vodka. One has to wonder how much longer he would have been in the race if he had fired back at Trump like this.
Whatever it means, it's good to have Rubio back on Twitter, rising from the ashes of his campaign and resurrected as some phoenix-like Sarcastic Older Brother Rubio. Especially if it means a return to his classic tweeting form.
