After lackluster performances in Super Tuesday states, “The Daily Show” wanted to know on Wednesday night’s episode how much denial Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) campaign was in.
And it turns out, it was a lot.
“Marco Rubio was widely endorsed, he was well funded and he was just the right amount of Hispanic,” Noah said.
This wasn’t helping, but Senior Marco Rubio Correspondent Hasan Minhaj was unfazed.
“It’s all part of the strategy. Phase One: Lose 14 out of the 15 states. Phase Two: Everyone thinks Rubio’s done so they drop their guard just in time for Kansas this Saturday,” Minhaj said.

Marco Rubiobot’s programming:
If (First Place in Primary)
Say “I won.”
else
Say “I won.”

C’mon Caitlin. Misplaced modifier. You are in the big leagues now.
I believe it’s a dangling participle, not a misplaced modifier.
Edit: Lots of overlap in the definitions. But to me, a misplaced modifier is something like, “On her way home, Jan found a gold man’s watch.”
It’s ending a sentence in a preposition, something up with which we shall not put.
Thanks. I only aspire to the big leagues…
