"After training his fire for much of the summer on former Gov. Bush, Trump has found a new
favorite Republican rival to taunt: Senator Rubio of Florida.
But
Mr. Rubio is proving capable of giving it back. And Mr. Trump also
discovered on Friday that some conservatives do not respond as kindly
when the insults are directed toward Mr. Rubio, who is not viewed with
the sort of suspicion that Mr. Bush engenders among hard-line activists.
“You
have this clown, Marco Rubio,” Mr. Trump began, in a speech to the
Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit here. “And I’ve been so
nice to him.”
Before he could go further, though, the audience of social conservatives let out a cascade of boos.
Mr.
Trump had brought a Bible with him on stage, but he is not a natural
fit for movement conservatives, particularly the born-again Christians
who are involved in politics chiefly because of their faith and attend
conferences such as this." NYT
