BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (CNN) — After weeks of savaging Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican front-runner Donald Trump is firmly setting his sights on another GOP rival.
In his furthest-reaching attack yet, Trump on Saturday accused Florida Sen. Marco Rubio of stealing from the Florida Republican Party and suggested Rubio should have been “indicted” for using a state party American Express card for personal expenses.
“Rubio stole from the Republican Party,” Trump said of Rubio, with whom he has recently engaged in a public war of words. “But you know what happened? They said, ‘You stole from the party.’ He says, ‘No, I didn’t.’ ‘Yes, you did, you had a driveway bill,’ ‘No, I didn’t,’ ‘Yes, you did,’ ‘Oh, OK, well, uh,’ he reimbursed them.”
Rubio used a corporate American Express card that the Florida state GOP entrusted to him during his time as a Florida state lawmaker for thousands of dollars in personal expenses, which he later reimbursed.
In November, Rubio released nearly two years of statements for the card, hoping to put to rest any lingering questions of impropriety.
Trump suggested on Saturday that Rubio only reimbursed the funds after he was caught.

Trump, Christie take aim at Rubio
Trump’s latest attack was one of dozens he and Christie leveled against Rubio in back-to-back remarks here on Saturday. Christie, who quit the race after faltering in the New Hampshire primary and after a debate in which he took a no-holds-barred approach to attacking Rubio, endorsed Trump on Friday in a news conference that stunned the political world.

Two on one Christy and Trump little bit stronger than Cruz/Rubio
Wasn’t a lot of these personal expenses flying him and his lobbyist “friend” around to various outings?
Given the recent meme about Marco “liking boys and foam”...that picture gives me the creeps, and I am in serious need of eye bleach!
Also, Rubio sold his house for more than 2x what he bought it for to a donor who had business before Rubio who was leader of the Florida legislature.
Close to being a criminal act in my estimation. Your supposed to recluse yourself from conflicts of interest.
I'm waiting for Trump to send Rubio a case of Trump Water. That's my kind of sarcasm.
How Obama-like.
Creep!
Plus, Rubio padded his expense account and government credit card with personal items.
You can’t run against Hillary on her honesty if you do the same as she does.
RubiRINO is winning NOTHING! A big fat 0 for being a 0.
Can we get a photo of Rubio in a bellman’s red uniform? He’s perfect for the part.
Not to worry.
After Pres. Trump “opens up” the libel and slander laws, probably Rubio can successfully sue Trump for many millions.
(Maybe Rubio could even bring a RICO suit, like the action against Trump University, and go for treble damages.)
Here, I got your back.
It's a tough job but *someone* has to do it!
Today at Trump’s rally Christie went over the Rubio attendance record for his committee meetings.
Say for a half dozen comittees, he missed average 70% of the meetings and votes.
Christie got off a great line. The President of the United States isn’t a no show Job.
I said to myself , It has been under Obama for 7 years. Obama plays more rounds of Golf than a lot of PGA players.
To be fair, it was reduced to $40,000 for his 2 hours of work.
Rubio is the ultimate leech. Doesn't show up for work, collects paychecks.
Mr whiskers, I thank you ;)
LOL That’s exactly right!
And their management experience, foreign policy experience, military experience, and overall general experience is equally lacking.
Somebody needs to ask Rubio, on camera, if he will volunteer to take a drug screening test.
All that sweat, all that water, jerky body language, talking at light-speed, occasional shakes, twitching mouth moments. I certainly can’t prove it, but I think he’s using.
Amen.
They are using their Senate seats to try and reach the highest office in the land as a NON-Natural Born Citizen!
