Marco Rubio slightly lost his grip on Monday night when he hit a little boy in the face with a football.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) may have attended college on a football scholarship, but a recent toss of the pigskin didn’t go too well for the presidential hopeful at the Iowa State Fair.
Rubio thanked a huddled, umbrella-covered audience for “braving the rain” at the fair’s Political Soapbox, a regular attraction sponsored by The Des Moines Register.
Like some of his rivals, Rubio has spent much of the summer rounding up enough campaign cash to stay competitive in a lengthy primary.
Rubio was part of a bipartisan group of senators who unsuccessfully tried to pass comprehensive immigration reform in 2013.
“We love coming to this state”.
What is unclear is whether the boy ran the wrong pattern, or if Rubio’s pass was off the mark.
He returned to Washington the day after his campaign launch for a vote on giving Congress a say on President Barack Obama’s Iran deal. He participated in the forum via video instead.
Some of Rubio’s rivals have devoted more time to the early voting states this summer.

The former Florida governor also said during a visit to South Carolina that the Pentagon should be overhauled to prioritize an increase in the number of active-duty troops.
