Donald Trump Florida Ad Hits ‘Corrupt Marco Rubio’

Donald J. Trump released a savage attack ad against Senator Marco Rubio of Florida that’s set to air in his home state, a 60-second takedown that calls the senator “corrupt” and accuses him of intentionally misusing a Republican Party credit card to line his pockets.

The ad is one of the most brutal of a campaign season defined by negative ads, and it goes on the air seven days before the state’s Republican primary. Portions of it sound as if they were written by Mr. Trump himself.

“Corrupt Marco Rubio has spent years defrauding the people of Florida,”

And not a word about the $10 million in pro Rubio attack ads Trump is responding too.

I liked the part where Rubio put air fare on the RNC credit card and then filed a travel claim so the State reimbursed him! Just an innocent mistake. ;-)

Florida’s likely to be Rubio’s Swan Song methinks...

Only Democrats can do that... who does Rubio think he is?

Like Obama’s sweetheart real estate deal for his house, or HilLIARy’s miraculous cattle futures stock picks.

My only question is this just to get a press cycle or is it going to run every hour like Rubio’s do? Trump said no super Pacs, no donations so now only he can pay for it. He’s gotta do it and win Florida.

“innocent mistake”.........

Definitely NO mistake there, Rubio was defrauding his employer.

But, that would be criminal, and no charges were filed. ;-)

I’m not a fan of Trump or Rubio.

Hopefully they spend a small fortune battling for Florida...

While Cruz makes huge gains elsewhere.

I think this ad is poor, and looks like something you could make on a windows moviemaker. Trump is failing to do what he needs to do on TV and radio in several states, including Florida. I'm not sure why, I hope it's not money.

Early voting started today in FL. Drove by the Supervisor of Elections office in my county...at least five Trump supporters camped out in lawn chairs and Trump signs...no other candidates represented.

Brutal but if it’s true, I am okay with it.

Rubio may be finished politically. He may not even be able to win a senate seat again which suits me just fine. He’s really been exposed.

Rubio’s too good for the Senate. It was boring and I think he’s lazy. Didn’t show up to work. Time to move up the ladder to President, don’t ya know? So he didn’t even bother to run for his Senate seat. Alan Grayson is running for it on the Dem side, not sure about the Republican.
