Rarely gun-shy, Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to chide Marco Rubio, who is seen as ascendant following this week's debate, and Jeb Bush's poor performance and low speaking time.
Trump attacked Rubio for being "disloyal" and "ambitious" by challenging his former mentor Jeb Bush in this race.
@realDonaldTrump TWITTER:
"I told you in speeches months ago that Jeb and Marco do not like each other. Marco is too ambitious and very disloyal to Jeb as his mentor!"
Bush was Florida governor when Rubio was Florida House speaker, and is seen as having helped to nurture and promote Rubio's early political rise.

Whoa. I can’t believe you said that.
Trump is a genius. Attacking one idiot for attacking another idiot.
Rubio was for amnesty with his butt buddie upChuck Schumer. Rubio is for AMNESTY. He is HISTORY.
Good ol’ Trump now again parroting the GOPe talking points as part of his divide and conquer strategy that Marco Rubio should have “waited his turn.” Rubio was talking about and being talked about running for President before Jeb Bush and got into the race before Jeb Bush.
Beyond the divide-and-conquer strategy, it’s also nice to see this telegraph that if Trump is the nominee, he has no intention of selecting Rubio as his running mate.
“Trump is a genius. Attacking one idiot for attacking another idiot.”
It’s like backing out of a room where everyone has a gun and just firing a couple of shots into the air! Those left set about to kill one another!

This is why I call Trump, “The Magnificent Scoundrel”. He has an understanding of the dynamic of the presidential race not seen in a long time, and acts on it.
Rubio is becoming the new Jeb and Trump needs to go on the attack to stop Marco from gaining traction.
I read the fawning Kathleen Parker column about Marco today.
A column that said stuff I read as “isn’t he so cute with his thick dark hair” blah blah blah......
LOL other than Bush v Rubio. I’d be curious about Trumps reaction to the Europeans revolting against their respective governments action involving the Islamic invasion, Particularly in Germany and Scandanavia.
Go Trump Go. Cruz for VP.
A genius? For doing what every junior high school girl has been doing for ever?
Well, he’s called Merkel insane, over her allowed muzzie invasion. Why what have all the other candidates been saying about the Europeans revolting against the muzzie invaders?
Thanks!
I guess Jeb is doing poorly because of Rubio, right. Jeb is doing poorly in the polls because of Jeb, not anyone else. It’s a free country, since when does one candidate has to ask someone else for permission to run.
Amen, Jane!
Rubio is very sneaky.
Trump is a RAT plant. Sent by his queen Hillary to destroy the republican opposition. Notice he does not attack the democrats. He spends all his time attacking republicans. He knows he can’t win and is just clearing the field for Hillary. The fools on this website suck up his trash.
I know he talked about Merkel, but this story is evolving and dynamic. Just to get his take as it evolves would be good.
