Donald Trump's political genius is his ability to control the news cycle and thereby prolong his months-long status as the Republican front-runner.

Of late, however, Rubio has turned to Trump's strategy. In Thursday's CNN debate, the Florida senator delivered a rapid-fire string of attacks on Trump, which he followed with a Dallas rally on Friday where he suggested that Trump had wet his pants during the debate, and repeatedly labeled him a “con artist.”
