Will probably be of interest to those of you playing the GOP electioneering game.

So, Rubio is an even bigger lightweight than I thought.

He had some hecklers calling him "Marquito" (little Marco) the other day.

No habla espanol...Is that similar to the Russian diminuative "-chik"(-чик)? (in this case, something along the lines of "Marcochik"). Thanks!

Yeah, whenever you say something in Spanish with an "-ito(a)" at the end, it means small or tiny. In this case, it was obviously meant in a derogatory and condescending way.

Best comparison I could think of would be like calling an adult male named John, "little Johnny" or Tim, "little Timmy" etc., something like that. Maybe ok if it's your grandparents/older relative but probably not by some stranger.
