In what could be another sign of Trump fatigue, the billionaire Manhattan developer drew major jeers while trying to poke fun at fellow presidential candidate Marco Rubio in front of conservative activists on Friday.
Rubio’s statements came shortly after Trump made a couple of digs at him Thursday in an interview on CNN. Both of Bush’s performances had been widely panned by observers, while Rubio has appeared to have found his footing last Wednesday evening on a crowded stage. Now, it seems Senator Marco Rubio has become the latest target of one of Trump’s favorite insults: lightweight.
Trump and Rubio have been anything but “nice” to each other this week, engaging in a continued back-and-forth that started Tuesday. He said Trump is “not really well informed on the issues” and relies on attacking people. The Republican frontrunner, who told reporters that Rubio was “a baby” before speaking, also attacked the Florida senator’s past support for immigration reform.
Building his base is going to be key to his campaign strategy if Rubio wants to do well and improve in the polls.

Since the second GOP debate, Rubio has surged in the polls.
Rubio talked of the pope’s praise for the United States, but he added, “I’m not supporting any ideas that don’t do anything to help our environment” but will hurt the economy. “He shouldn’t be running in this race as far as I’m concerned”, Trump said. I’ve never seen a person sweat – I’ve never seen a guy down water like he downs water.
