Donald Trump began the first week of November by attacking Marco Rubio, saying the Florida senator won last Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate “in the minds of desperate people.”
“I won every on-line poll, even crazy @CNBC. Marco good looking?” he continued, tweeting at the account for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Trump then retweeted a tweet from “Morning Joe’s account” showing results from a NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll showing that 41 percent said he was the best GOP candidate on economic issues.
“Very true, thanks!” he wrote.

Trump jabbed at Rubio Sunday on Twitter, too.
“Marco Rubio will not win,” he wrote, calling out the Florida senator’s immigration policies.
Marco Rubio will not win. Weak on illegal immigration, strong on amnesty and has the appearance to killers of the world as a “lightweight”.

Rubio was considered the winner of the third Republican debate, and is looking for a bump in the polls. In a RealClearPolitics average of polls, Trump leads at 27 percent. Rubio comes in third behind Ben Carson (22.2 percent) with 9.6 percent.
