Top Rubio supporters: Trump attacks have backfired

[Alex.]

"A growing number of Rubio supporters told CNN privately and publicly that Rubio made a strategic blunder by getting into a personal mud-slinging contest with the bombastic billionaire, arguing that he should not have raised questions about Trump's character -- on everything from criticizing the size of his hands to calling him a "con artist." They argued it only seemed to backfire and make the high-minded and substantive Rubio look petty and unpresidential, fearing it could now be fatal to his presidential aspirations."

He really should have had some better advisers, attacking a person on the basis of character rather than qualifications will never win out in the end.

The article was not about hurting Trump but how Rubio hurt himself by acting the fool and going after Trump based on character

Because Trump has been doing this since his campaign started.

Trump's supporters don't care.

Marco doesn't have a fraction of the support Trump actually has, he just channeled anti-Trump paranoia like the previous failed candidates did.

Exactly that was his strong suit. It could not last.

They can come up with all of the excuses they want but the bottom line is that Rubio has no track record of significant accomplishments. His only play was good looking Latino traditional conservative and voters saw right through it.
