The next morning, the Rubio campaign circulated a New York Times article headlined “Donald Trump Taps Foreign Work Force for His Florida Club“. The Florida senator has a 39-to-29 advantage in that group. “Selling watches in Manhattan”.
Trump leads Rubio 44% to 28% in the Sunshine State, according to a Quinnipiac University poll of Florida released Thursday.
Whether they can pull it off is an open question. It was his third straight commanding victory in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Marco Rubio and Donald Trump.
Rubio, under pressure to show that he can take Trump on, offered a preview of his line of attack during an event here.
Ohio Governor John Kasich, when given time to talk, offered an optimistic message.
Trump won at least 12 delegates and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz won at least five apiece. When Trump responded by saying Rubio didn’t understand business, Rubio came back with, “Yeah, not like you and your four bankruptcies”. “You ought to see him backstage, he was putting on makeup with a trowel”. “I think that would be both unfaithful and dishonest to the men and women who elected me”. Even though the primaries do not decide the tone of the race in the next few months, it surely depicts the rate of popularity that Trump enjoys in the race.
He said he would not support a ceasefire deal about to go into effect in Syria and declared that Libya would be better off had Colonel Muammar Gadafhi not been toppled from power by a U.S.-backed uprising.
While he said it was too early to name names, he told a Q&A session at Regent University in Virginia that he wanted “somebody that’s political”, an established figure who knows Washington and is a contrast to Trump’s own outsider status.
“He’s desperate”, Trump said.
Rubio expressed confidence on Wednesday night that a narrower field would help him, and said not to expect a significant change in his campaign approach, even as some conservative commentators are urging him to get more aggressive.
“A vote for Kasich is a vote for Trump”, Sullivan said.
A report while shedding details on Trump’s strategy says, “while In a race that began with 17 candidates, Trump has benefited from deftly playing off his opponents against one another”. “I seem to have a very good track record when to do go after me”, the NY real estate mogul told NBC.
Overall, Trump has gotten 32.7 of the votes cast-24.3 percent in Iowa, 35.3 percent in New Hampshire, 32.5 percent in SC, and 45.9 percent in Nevada.
“If I can’t beat her (Clinton), you’re really going to get killed aren’t you?…”
Obviously, if Cruz and Rubio continue what they’re doing, they’re going to lose.
It was Rubio who pulled ahead of Cruz by hitting Trump at the debate with a veritable avalanche of opposition research- much of which could have been obtained for years by googling.
Donald Trump’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination could face its stiffest challenge on the debate stage Thursday night as top rivals Florida Sen.
