The United States already has a president with "no class," Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday, and he doesn't believe Donald Trump's unorthodox candidacy shows the gravity that the office deserves.
"I don't believe his behavior last few weeks is dignified or worthy of the office he seeks," the Florida Republican said on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program about his fellow candidate for the 2016 GOP nomination.
"The president of the United States is not just the top government official. It's the leader of our people, our nation. To conduct presidency, it has to be done in a dignified way."

Trump, also appearing later on the Fox program, did not slam either Rubio or Fiorina for their words.
"I think they're both nice people," he said. "I really don't know them. They're fighting hard, trying hard. We'll see how they do. Honestly, I think they're nice people. Carly is right. We have to attack Hillary. She was the worst secretary of state in the history of the country. She's got plenty to lose by. I'll beat Hillary if chosen. I have thousands of Hispanics employed. They love me. Marco Rubio is doing his thing."

At Trump National Golf Club, a round of golf will never be just another round of golf. I look forward to seeing you on the course.

Did Rubio ever say that Hillary Clinton has no class? (which is eminently true and proven)
No?
Why not?
Enquiring minds want to know
I thought it was incredibly smart of Trump to layoff Marco and Fiorino. Why bother they are not much competition for him.
Excellent point.
The real danger to both the Republican Party and the territory that was once known as “the United States of America”, is that The Donald would go third party.
At this point, the Republican party should be making massive strides to placate and reconcile with The Donald, as the carnage of trying to fence him out would be devastating.
The kindest thing that may be said of The Donald is that he is a populist, a breed of political polecat that has been generally despised in the upper circles of gentry in this country for years. But the populist can also move many otherwise unmotivated people to speak out and attack the various despotisms and chicanery that have grown up over time even in the most carefully cultivated representative republic.
As it so happens, The Donald has chosen all the Hot Button Issues that excite a wide swath of libertarians and conservatives, like neglect of our veterans, illegal immigration and amnesty, the Islamic State and Iraq, national debt, our trade imbalance, taxes, Obamacare, gun control, entitlements and budget control, and climate change. Little or no discussion had been under way in this country before The Donald came along and put them all on his bullhorn.
Does he have an answer for these issues? Probably not, but at least people are once again talking about them, something the Politically Correct crowd had successfully stopped, regarding the conversation.
Roofio, an establishment ass-kisser and weasel.
Hey, stop that. Do not for any reason distract anyone with the FACTS. How dare you try to stop the March of the Morons. In all seriousness, PT Barnum had it right all along, a sucker is born every minute.
Go back to the children’s table Marco, and don’t interrupt the adults. Well tell you when the dessert is ready.

Wonder is Rubio would know how to order off the menus at a 5***** restaurant?
4****?

This is what Trump actually proposed:
Repeal the inheritance tax to offset one-time wealth tax
"I would impose a one-time, 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $10 million. For individuals, net worth would be calculated minus the value of their principal residence. That would raise $5.7 trillion in new revenue, which we would use to pay off the entire national debt [and shore up the Social Security Trust Fund].
My proposal would also allow us to entirely repeal the 55% federal inheritance tax. The inheritance tax is a particularly lousy tax because it can often be a double tax. If you put the money into trust for your children, you pay the inheritance tax upon your death. When the trust matures and your children go to use it, they’re taxed again. It’s the worst.
Some will say that my plan is unfair to the extremely wealthy. I say it is only reasonable to shift the burden to those most able to pay. The wealthy actually would not suffer severe repercussions. The 14.25% net-worth tax would be offset by repeal of the 55% inheritance-tax liability."

You can agree with Trump or not but please make sure you tell the whole story. Not just the part that bolsters your argument. That is what liberals do.
Mr. Open Borders undoubtedly does not realize who he’s talking about. He needs to get ready for incoming from Trump that will make him look like the little sawed-off open borders nutcase he really is.
| Records show Marco Rubio spent thousands with GOP credit card "U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio charged grocery bills, repairs to the family minivan and purchases from a wine store less than a mile from his West Miami home to the Republican Party of Florida while he was speaker of the Florida House, according to records obtained by the St. Petersburg Times/Miami Herald. But party spokeswoman Katie Gordon said the card was not supposed to be used for personal expenses." |
(but not for the wine.)
I think the only other candidates the base would turn to would be Cruz or Walker(maybe). The base will not turn to Jeb, he may win the nod by doing some Romneyesque maneuvering, but he’s despised by the base and woul lose to Hillary. FRiend we’re just going to have to wait for the debates and see where the dust settles.
A 14% wealth tax would lead to the liquidation of many businesses in order to pay the tax to the IRS. It would be horrific for the economy. At least death taxes don’t always lead to liquidation as the assets can be placed into a family trust.
But I do applaud Trump for wanting to repeal the death tax. I am sure, however, that there are many GOP candidates who also want to repeal the death tax and not impose a crippling wealth tax at the same time. Perhaps we could choose one of those candidates.
I honestly don't know where Trump stands on taxes now but I am willing to give him a listen.

This says he restated it in June of this year.
He has bad views on the issues.
Right on! This will help win the White House for sure!
Our number one issue should be protecting Zuckerberg’s $30 billion! Nobody in corporate america is getting raises and bonuses, and our concern needs to be protecting the billionaires!!!
