Cluelessness and obfuscation (apples and oranges), for all to see.

When you can't explain away what you did was wrong, you come out and say "you're fighting for the average Americans". That worked every time.

Say whatever about Trump but he never filed personal bankruptcy. Of course folks already knew that.

Up from the ashes, come the roses of success.

Trump kept at it any thousands have benefitted from his brilliance.

You are right. This is apples and oranges. Sorry Rubio, but this will not fly.

Accusing Trump of bankruptcy plays well with the low-information, low-morals left.

Anyone with half a brain knows that the filings had to do with separate individual investments, and not personal bankruptcy. This is what good investors like Trump do. They take several big risks. Most work out. Others don’t. When they don’t, you get out using existing laws.

Such a pathetic peck from the Rubio pigeon (paloma).

Donald Trump has hundreds of successful companies and 4 went bad. He successfully navigated the bankruptcy process to restructure those four bad companies.

There’s another company that is going bankrupt that we need Donald to restructure; that company is called:

THE UNITED STATES.

First Carson and now Rubio. Are they having a sale on unforced errors this week?

The voting public has to be educated on what bankruptcy is on the corporate level. It is not the same as personal bankruptcy.

On a corporate level the lending side knows and shares the risk of the financial fate of the investment. They are true partners. Legally, the lender can’t go outside the contract to the borrower’s other assets unless a judge says so.

The lenders knew this going in, but they still thought that everything Trump touches is successful. Wrong. No one is infallible.

When Atlantic City real estate failed, Trump decided to get out rather than wait for a turn around. He was correct, there was no turn around.

Lender and borrower negotiated, Trump declared bankruptcy as a means to dissolve the partnership.

Wish he wouldn’t have said that ... it shows he hasn’t a clue about how finances work, especially at the MEGA level where Trump (and the US Gov) Operate.

Trump made ove 10 Billion in the private sector and Rubio made how much in the private sector?

Oh that’s right Rubio only made his big payouts while working in government. Oh but he is not currupt......(sarcasm off)

Trump is not ‘attacking’ anyone

He gets asked a question, he responds, and the media go “TRUMP ATTACKS CRUZ”

He is so far ahead he should just say “I’m not going to comment on other candidates anymore because that’s all you media want to do... Here is my economic plan, do you want to hear it?” AND WAIT FOR A REPLY!

What’s ironic is Rubio’s point requires ignorance to believe.

Struggling does not excuse theft.

Bankruptcy proceedings are legal.

Interesting comment by Rubio. Guess he wanted to expose how little he knows about business, bankruptcy law, taking risk, etc.

Also guess Rubio wanted to alienate the millions of Americans who have filed personal bankruptcy.

Yeah it is Senior Amnesty; now explain your credit card problems. Bankruptcies are part of business. Using public funds for private matters is a corrupt practice.

Trump wasn’t charging his $134 haircuts on the GOP dime. Or his car repairs etc.

Big difference between a corporate or even personal bankruptcy that is not due to personal malfeasance and personal appropriation or use of funds and credit that is not your own.
