Choke Artist opens a pandora's box, and now he's paying for it.

Saying "Google it" at a presidential debate was, in theory, a good idea.  Shock the system with a new approach, and throw your opponent off his game.

2 problems have arisen over the day though:

First, Trump supporters have retaliated by googling Rubio to dig up what dirt they could find, and if you search #ChokeArtist on twitter, you will be seeing it.  For example, they have found out that Rubio has apparent ties to the drug cartels (often following this up speculation that his amnesty support is aimed at empowering said cartels), they found that Rubio was funded by and went to bat for a university that makes Trump U look like a traffic citation, that RubioCare has an individual mandate, that Rubio is a hypocrite on gay rights, and that he is infamous for treating police like garbage.

And, mind you, I'm cutting out a LOT, because if I posted everything, this article would drag on.

Second, the press, that was supposedly pro-Rubio, decided to respond to this by using google to fact check Rubio's claims.  And he's been getting hammered all day for lying about Polish workershis university hypocrisy, and much, much more, but at this point, you've been inundated with enough links for one day.

On paper, good strategy, in practice, it backfired.  Partly because Trump rules on the internet (which should have, in retrospect, foreshadowed it would backfire), and partly because, the MSM wants Hillary to win, and decided to take a Google jab at their own at Rubio, just in case he's nominated.
