Marco Rubio even cracks under the pressure of a Twix bar

When will Marco Rubio's troubles end? After being taunted by robots in New Hampshire, the Florida senator's latest struggle has come in the form of a Twix bar that has reportedly gotten the best of his molar.

"I just bit into a Twix bar and I go, 'Man this Twix bar's got something really hard in it. And I go, 'Oh my gosh, I cracked my tooth,'" Rubio told The Washington Post.

Rubio was on a flight to Washington, D.C. when the incident took place. He visited the dentist the next morning to get a temporary fix on his cracked molar, with a permanent replacement planned from his regular dentist when he gets back to Miami.
