Near the statue of Daniel Webster below the gold-domed Capitol in Concord, N.H., Donald Trump showed up today to file his paperwork to be on the ballot of the country's first-in-the-nation primary. He wasted no time ripping into Marco Rubio over his use of Florida GOP credit cards for personal use while a leader in the Florida Legislature.
"Marco Rubio has a disaster on his finances, he has a disaster on his credit cards. When you check his credit cards take a look at what he has done with the Republican Party when he had access, what he had to put back in, and whether or not something should have happened," Trump said in answer to a question about today's Tampa Bay Times story concerning the Rubio campaign's plans to release previously undisclosed credit card statements. "You'll understand it. Marco Rubio has a basic disaster on finance. See what you find let's see what kind of reporter you are,"
Then he noted that a New York hedge fund billionaire has put himself behind Rubio's campaign.
"Paul Singer represents amnesty. And he represents illegal immigration pouring into the country, and now he's with Rubio," Trump[ said "Rubio was very in favor of very, very lax rules, He was a member of the gang of eight. the gang of eight means come on in, folks, come on into the country, nobody's going to stop you. Now Rubio's surging in New Hampshire? I don't think so. When you find out the truth about Rubio, you'll check his credit cards from Florida, and you're going to find out how does he feel about illegal immigration."

TKO !!
It’s probably not good news if Trump mentions your name alot.
I am no Rubio fan, but Trump really shouldn't go there.
How many hundreds of millions of dollars in loans did Trump get out of through his many bankruptcy filings?
Saw ship, sank same.
How many Trump companies have filed for bankruptcy?
Four out of hundreds of deals. One to help a friend being killed by banks.
Come on man.
Trump buys tens of millions of dollars worth of John Deere equipment. Name another candidate that’s in that class. There is no other. Trump’s tax plan specifically addresses the corporate inversion issue. Trump is THE ONLY candidate talking about that. Imagine 2.5 trillion in real, not printed, money dropped into businesses in US. Imagine what that would do for the economy coupled with the 15% corporate tax rate.
Carl Icahn has been asked and accepted Sec Treasury. Trump and Carl are already rolling on the corporate inversion issue; http://carlicahn.com/needed-legislation-letter/
It’s so interesting how Trump drives the issues and owns them. https://youtu.be/ZSlXkOX6n3s?t=1890 When he answers the question “should the fed raise the ratesâ€. He owns the issue, and in a way no other candidate comes close to.
Trump is so unique and capable in this respect. We need a bulldozer like Trump to clean up the mess.
Read post 8.
Not the same thing at all, re Rubio V Trump handling of money.
I agree. We could fill pages upon pages on the Citi Bank disasters alone. I know, I was there.
Never thought of it this way before.
Like so many before him, they get to Washington and start slumming with the Establishment Rinos, Gang of Eight.
Agree Trumps financial misdeeds are 1,000 times worse than Rubio’s.
But not half as bad as Hitlery's will be, once she gets elected thanks to GOPE jackboot lickers who can't see the forest for the trees. How's that jackboot leather taste?
It appears, from your posts, that everything is truly above your pay grade. I suggest that you refrain from posting until you finally master the simplest math problems and manage to, at long last, manage to educate yourself on what's really what!
Trump didn’t run up personal expenses and debts that were to be paid by taxpayers, as Rubio did when he was Spkr of the Fla. House.
