Speaking to a social conservative crowd at the Values Voters Summit, where Rubio spoke earlier in the day, Trump was met with a wave of boos after calling his Republican rival a clown in his speech.

“Whether Rubio started it or not - a lot of voters are getting tired of the name calling from all of them.”
I agree. Name calling is a distraction. It hurts his arguments and allows the media to concentrate on the minutiae instead of the issues, but is not a disqualifier. At least, not for me.

Rubio attacked TRUMP!! ON the floor os the Senate during one of his few appearances. The day is over where a leader just takes it. If you attack Trump — brace . I love that.

Trump lives on the energy created by those disturbances in the force.

Rough around the edges is what makes Trump lovable. He ain't gonna smooth them.

If you watch the tape, it is obvious
they are booing TRUMP for his cheap insult of Rubio, who was received well by the same audience earlier in the morning. Listen, starting at the 5:25 mark:
Trump: "I mean, you have this clown, Marco Rubio. I've been so nice to him."
Audience: Boooo!
Trump (as booing and groaning continues): "I've been so nice. I've been so nice."
Note, this is BEFORE Trump says anything about immigration, etc. It is clear that this audience does not like Trump's cheap shot. Furthermore, Trump got only mild, tepid, polite applause throughout his "speech," especially when compared to the thunderous ovations Cruz received--or even compared to the warm reception Rubio received.

I guess you missed the total standing ovation when Trump finished. I watched the whole thing and they were not booing Trump.

Well by golly! That’s it then! PMSLSD says Trump was “booed”. Guess we’d all better vote for Rubio then. After all, those poor Mexicans deserve our jobs.
To: Catsrus; Georgia Girl 2
Did you miss the better reception Rubio received throughout, earlier in the morning? And Cruz absolutely brought the house down!
