Donald Trump says GOP presidential primary rival Sen. Marco Rubio should drop out of the race if he doesn't do well in the multi-state Super Tuesday voting.
In an interview with
Fox & Friends Tuesday, Trump pressed his attack on the Florida lawmaker amid a bitter
war of words.
"I think he has to get out," Trump said in a phone interview.
"You know, he hasn't won anything, and Ted Cruz very rightly points out, you know, Marco has not won. I think he's 0-for-18."
"Little Marco Rubio, let me tell you, he's been a disaster for Florida," Trump added.
"Doesn't show up to vote. Never even shows up to vote. He's got the highest miss record in the, you know, in the United States Senate, so Marco Rubio's done a horrible job in Florida. That doesn't come up for two weeks, but, you know, honestly, I don't think he could be right now elected a dog catcher in Florida, so we'll see what happens."
Rubio began pressing his
attacks against Trump since the last GOP presidential candidates' debate last Thursday.
"It's not who he is. I didn't like it," Trump said of Rubio's recent efforts to stall his momentum. "I was getting along with him very well, then all of a sudden, you know, he was told to do this by his supporters, I guess. But all of a sudden he became Don Rickles, and he's not Don Rickles. Not gonna happen."
