Shots Fired! Marco Rubio Calls Trump “Touchy”, “Insecure” & “Not Well Informed”
The campaign stop is scheduled for Monday.
Business Insider asked Trump about Rubio’s remarks on Thursday afternoon, and he dismissed the senator as “overrated”.
The Villages is dominated by Republican voters, who outnumber Democratic voters by a two-to-one margin. Therefore, he says, “If left with a choice between Russian Federation and nothing, they’re going to choose Russian Federation”. “He really never talks about issues and can’t have more than a ten-second soundbite on any key issue”, he said.
“He takes shots at everybody that gets anywhere close to him in terms of a poll”, Rubio said.
“Then I think people will be very reasonable about what you do with someone who’s been here 20 years, who learns English, pays a fine, starts paying taxes, and is willing to stay with a work permit for at least 10 years, that sort of thing”, said Rubio.

Trump blusters that when he becomes president, he will be able to quickly learn about the important issues facing the country and will put together a first-rate team that will advise him.
On Tuesday, Rubio said on Fox News that Trump “hasn’t met the threshold in my mind” when it comes to demonstrating seriousness on foreign policy.
The bad news for Clinton is that were the general election held today, Rubio, Bush, and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson all beat her in the southern swing state.
Trump insisted there’s no need to get into specifics now. Speaking in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday – in a room that, as Rubio noted later, had scores of empty seats – Trump, 69, belittled Rubio, 44, for running up personal credit card debt. Hes kind of been a little bit exposed over the last seven days.
Trump also downplayed Rubio’s public service, saying, “Marco Rubio sits behind a desk; sometimes and he reads stuff, he’s in committees so you know that’s all he does”. “I believe we can fix this problem by creatively applying our free enterprise principles in a way that encourages businesses to choose to offer more paid family leave”.
In the wake of House Speaker John Boehner’s surprise resignation, which Rubio announced to cheers at a conference of social conservatives in Washington on Friday, Rubio says of the frustration with the GOP establishment, “It’s very real“.
