During a Thursday-morning CNN interview, Trump hit Rubio as a "kid" in a wide-ranging critique.
He first bashed Rubio's credibility as a foreign-policy wonk when asked to compare their knowledge about Syria.
"Marco Rubio sits behind a desk sometimes and he reads stuff," Trump said, according to CNN's transcript. "That's all he does. I create jobs all day long. I'll know more about all of this than all of them put together, and believe me, we'll have a winning strategy. If Marco Rubio is good, how come we're doing so badly?"
Trump went on to dismiss the 44-year-old senator's age.
"These guys don't know how to win," he said. "Marco Rubio, he's like a kid. He shouldn't even be running in this race, as far as I'm concerned. He's a kid."
Later in the interview, Trump again called Rubio a "kid" and criticized him for not deferring his candidacy to Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor.
"He's a kid. He has no right — I mean, frankly, he was very disloyal to Bush," Trump said. "Bush was his mentor. And everyone said he'd never run because Bush was his mentor. Well, the fact that Bush was his mentor didn't stop this young guy who is overly ambitious from wanting to run. Now Bush looks foolish and he looks like he's a very disloyal guy, frankly."
Earlier in the day, during a "Morning Joe" interview, Trump also mocked Rubio for perspiring during last week's presidential debate.
"I'm looking at guys like Marco Rubio, who has the worst voting record in the United States Senate. And [he's a] young guy — although he sweats more than any young person I've ever seen in my life," Trump said. "I've never seen a guy down water like he downs water. They bring it in in buckets for this guy."
-
It's true. Not a single person can defend this with anything other than excuses or spin.
-
Defend what.....
-
It's almost comical. The outrageousness of trumps attacks. It's what you'd see on getbig, not on a presidential stage
-
Hahaha The water comment at the very end was pretty fucking funny. ;D
Not exactly what I would construe as "presidential behavior" by saying it, but pretty damn funny nonetheless. :D

Hannity always talks about the incessant sweating. Seems to be a real thing. hannity defends it constantly, blaming weather, stress, thick clothing, lights, etc. Others around Rubio usually don't have the same problem.

Classic low information voter fodder.

Well, Trump is leading the Repub field by a decent margin.
So at least 1/3 of republican base voters are low-info voters.
Trump's entire campaign has been 'low info voter fodder'. I think we may be in agreement on that one. Yelling "greatness" while shitting on people's wives and making fun of faces, menstrual cycles, calling people losers... that's classic low-info fodder.
It was okay with many in 2010, when Carl Paladino was smashing shit with baseball bats.

I do know the repub base pretty well. I said it early on, trump is going to dominate the field, with his simple-minded, hate-filled, single-issue, vague rude bullshit. 1/3 of the repub base is just like that.

You know very little about politics. You predicted Perry would be the nominee. Your predictions are wrong about 99 percent of the time.

getting indicted slowed him down :)
You predicted trump wouldn't have an impact, then that he'd need to spend a shitload of $ to have an impact. I predicted the idiot base would lap him up.

Oh please. ::) You predicted he would be the nominee after his indictment.
I have always maintained Trump will not be the nominee. And he is spending a ton of money. He will wither on the vine. He doesn't have the patience, self-control, personality, or leadership qualities to run and win.
Face it, you really don't know squat about this subject. But it's ok. The board can be a good place to learn. :)

i knew voters would reject palin as stupid. I knew Romney wouldn't motivate the base into showing up. I know the majority of voters are liberal, and it'll take a major conservative to motivate the base to show up, if the repubs want to win in 2016.

come on man, we're pretty open here on getbig.
I said Trump = hate-filled. He calls people loser. He makes fun of people's faces and how much water they drink. He makes fun of people's wives. He calls people stupid. I think trump is very very negative, and at some point, when you're insulting someone with 100 million people (or more) listening, when you're trying to destroy them in the media... Yes, I think that reaches level of hate-filled. When he calls someone a loser, he can wreck their career. That's hate.
I don't call trump stupid, I don't call him racist, I don't call him all the things people in both parties are calling him. But hate-filled? He tries to destroy people in front of the world - that's hate filled, yes, IMHO.

He's a blustery, tough talking "NorthEastern Guy"
That's how they talk and operate up there.
No different than when a father hands his son the keys to a new car as a graduation gift and saying "here ya go ya little prick ya" just before he gives him a hug and sends him off to college.
Now you take such a tone with someone in Florida, you are likely to get your teeth knocked out. Two different cultures.
Hell, just look at the way the Philly fans cheered like crazy when Romo went down with a broken clavicle last week.( actually that was kind of a bad example. I'm pretty sure that was done out of hatred. :D )

Are you denying it is true? Had Rubio has the worst voting record in the Senate and he sweats excessively?

More delusional babble from this Know-Nothing.
http://www.occupydemocrats.com/delusional-rubio-women-are-getting-pregnant-just-to-sell-the-fetus-to-planned-parenthood/
According to future 2016 presidential washout Marco Rubio, Planned Parenthood not only sells baby parts, but the health organization also incentivizes women to have abortions with promises of profits.
While no women is given any part of the reimbursement Planned Parenthood receives when she chooses to donate fetal tissue to humanitarian causes, facts (as usual) are meaningless to Rubio, who feels that women “look forward to” getting abortions.
“Because now what you’ve done is you’ve created an industry. You’ve created an incentive for people to be pushed into abortions so that those tissues can be harvested and sold for a profit,” he lied. Rubio, continuing to lie, claimed that women who visit Planned Parenthood “are provided with very few options,” and in “many places” are not told about adoption services.
“In essence, you come in and it’s already predetermined. This is what this place does,” he said, ignoring that abortions comprise a tiny percentage of total Planned Parenthood services. “It provides abortions, and we are going to channel you in that direction.” In reality, Planned Parenthood provides a lot of information about adoption, even suggesting adoption as an alternative to abortion on its web site — in a section dedicated solely to adoption.
But, once again, facts are scary, and conservatives scare easily (Thanks, science!).

Rubio's resume is obama's in 2007. This is the case, like it or not. Everyone who yelled about obama voting "present" to avoid pissing people off, you now have your own version named Marco Rubio.

The real question is would you drive your family to the polling station to vote for Rubio , then take them to Denny's afterwards?

I'm not a fan of Dennys. Maybe Arbys?
My family is in a different spot than I am. Different goals. I benefit from repub fiscal policy, they benefit from dem healthcare. I'm getting destroyed by dem healthcare. But it's american to vote, so we all went.

I don't know if he has the worst voting record in the Senate. Would need to know the facts and context. Certainly not going to accept Trump's word for it. He might as well be wearing a Democrat cheerleader t-shirt.
Regarding sweating, how stupid is that? ::)

We don't want him staring down Putin and looking like he is soiling himself.

Of the lawmakers currently serving in the U.S. Senate, Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is the least likely to show up for work. He’s been in office for four years, and of 1,198 opportunities to vote, he has declined to do so 99 times. That’s an absentee rate of 8.2 percent—four times the Senate average of 2.01 percent.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/24/marco-rubio-senate-missed_n_7063156.html
Presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have the two highest rates of missed votes in the Senate, a Huffington Post analysis shows.
Cruz has the highest percentage of total missed votes with 10.4 percent, while Rubio comes in second with 8.2 percent, according to HuffPost's analysis of data compiled by GovTrack. The numbers encompass the full Senate careers of each currently serving member and are accurate as of Friday morning.
Cruz only recently overtook Rubio to become the senator with the highest percentage of missed votes: A February analysis from Vocativ placed Rubio atop the ranking and Cruz at fifth.

This kind of juvenile criticism smacks of desperation. And fear. He must be doing something right.

Wow. Cancel Christmas. ::) Why did he decline to vote on 99 of 1,198 votes?

Not really. I was mocking the constant replies and whining of the same type of lines used against Obama by the crybabies on this board.
-

Who cares? My point isn't why he did it. Doesn't matter if it is 99 or 999. He's got the worst record in Congress.

It does matter if it's 99 or 999. It also matters what he missed and why. But only if you're trying to use this as some disqualifier for the presidency.

Him having the worst record is not debatable. I think obama held the record previously.
Seriously, folks, Rubio is so similar to obama in 2008, it's almost laughable. Voting just enough to keep his job, running for senate to run for POTUS, agreeing to anything along the way, probably in a little over his head, and zero meaningful legislative experience to speak of.
What in the world has rubio achieved? what legislation did he lead (besides DREAM, which obama did first lol)

Yes, Rubio has you liberals running scared.

Rubio might be the dark horse - 2016's Rick Santorum. But I don't know, despite having enough candidates to qualify as a medium-sized platoon, I just can't get excited about any of them.

He's nowhere near as unelectable as Santorum. As of today, my money is on him to survive the field, but it's still early. Plus Bush has the coin.
Anytime I hear him talk about national security and foreign policy I am impressed.

Double digit lead in a head to head matchup against Hillary in a few polls that I have seen as well.

Why anyone would be scared of Rubio is beyond me. Your hero worship is going to be just another disappointment for you.

I was referring to Santorum's "he's still in this!?! And he's polling what?!?" tenacity. He checks many of the right boxes - I should at least be thinking "ok, I can vote for this guy!" - but I just can't get excited about anyone in the field.

dos equis really has worshipped Rubio for the past year or two.
The problem is - Rubio hasn't achieved anything. He stands for a weird mix of "i'm elected as tea party" then "I'm a mccain centrist" in a 2 year span.
He's young and the best looking in that fuggly bunch, so he passes the eye test. Is that it, then? gives a good speech and voted 'present' more than anyone else in senate.
Congrats, you have your own obama now, repubs!

Obama voted present 129 times out of 4000 votes.
Obama voted present 3% of the time.
Rubio? He's absent 8.1 % of the time.

Of course he has. The hero worship of Rubio is going to be laughable in future when it comes back to bite him in the ass.
But let's not discuss what is evident to everyone else. Let's hear how his little fairy tale is turning out from his own mind....
