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."

Trump. Ya gotta luv him. :-)
4 out of hundreds of companies. In the meantime he was building skyscrapers.
Once again, I am no fan of Rubio.
My first choice is Cruz. My second choice is Trump. Rubio is close to the bottom. Bush is dead last.
Some Trump supporters are way, way too sensitive about any criticism of Trump.
3 little words, a world of impact. I wonder why the GOPE jackboot lickers want amnesty so bad?
This has little to do with Trump or anyone else. It's about the amnesty loving, easily swayed by Smucky Chucky Schumer, member of the GANG OF 8, thieving little Marco.
Call it what you will, we have learned something from Trump, hit back, and hit back hard.
You may not have been around when GWB never responded, even when the very troops he was CIC of were viciously attacked.
GWB allowed them to be belittled and attacked endlessly. What he did was damn near treasonous.
Now we have someone who fights back, and often viciously. I like it.

BTW, did you ever speak up six months ago when the Cruz Contingent were the ones with the vicious attacks?
I am not giving Rubio a pass. Read my posts. I simply pointed out that Trump should not go there because it opens him up to attacks on his many bankruptcies. As I said before, it is like Hillary attacking Bernie Sanders for being too rich or too old.
There are many far more substantive issues that Trump can attack Rubio on besides his use of credit cards.
W drove me NUTS when he refused to even open his mouth; let alone fight back.
This doesn't open up Trump to ANYTHING.....especially NOT the 4 BUSINESS "bankruptcies", which you don't understand at all.
Is that all you have?
Since this has already been debated and its old news, where do you stand now? Still in June when it first came out?
There are other things that you should think about with Rubio...if he can’t make the votes for Fla. that he represents as a Senator, how can he run the Country? If he can’t manage his finances, how is he going to help built this Country back to make it produce again? If he is for amnesty and the H1B bill, how is he going to manage the food stamps, housing, medical and shelter and jobs for them?
Simple answer, he isn’t and he can’t....
Many? Seriously?
I'll wager you made more poor 'bankruptcy' purchases during your last trip to the grocery store than he has during his entire business career.
I'll bet you got home and thought 'why the heck did I buy that?'
His 'failure' is well under 1%, and some of those were acquisitions with a planned workout strategy.
The fact that the banks refused to go along with what there was left was the banks choice, so they ended up with little or nothing by their choice.
