Rubio Says Trump Would Be ‘Selling Watches’ If He Didn’t Get Money From His Dad



During Thursday night’s Republican debate at The University of Houston, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) put rival candidate Donald Trump on blast — claiming that if he hadn’t inherited money from his father, Trump would likely just be selling watches in New York City.

“Here’s the guy that inherited $200 million,” said Rubio. “If he hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan.”

Trump fought back, saying, “I took $1 million, and I turned it into $10 billion.”

(yeah, sure he did......)

and the Robot rebooted this too:

"If he builds the wall the way he built Trump Towers, he'll be using illegal immigrant labor to do it,"
Rubio said of Trump, referring to Trump's proposal to build a border wall along the border with Mexico.

it was the contacts and cronies of his father... and the Trump name.

A *LOT* of people did business with him when he was a very young man who wouldn't have if he wasn't named "Trump"

Let's say worse comes to worse and Hillary gets the nomination....
She would LOVE to have Trump as an oppnent. The idea of him being Pres. is scary to teh sane Republicans, they would cross the line to vote for her.

5. Cracks Me Up - Rubio Takes A Shot At Trump About Selling Watches....

and turns around and he sells watches (for campaign donations).

He must have had that sound bite locked & loaded and ready to use against Trump. He was programmed to deliver that line at the debate cause his campaign already had the Trump watch donation gimmick posted on his website to use as a fund raiser.

This is all a blatant manipulation directed at the people in the making of a president.

Sad thing is there are people that fall for it.

since he even mentioned the watches he was selling at the debate last night. And it is sad that people don't see through this kind of crap.
