Donald Trump announced that he would begin fighting “crooked politicians” on Facebook and Twitter Sunday night, and said Monday he’d start by exposing “lightweight” Sen. Marco Rubio.
“A record no-show in Senate, he is scamming Florida,” Trump tweeted Monday morning. In another tweet, he said the “REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT” shouldn’t be able to ruin his movement by spending on “false ads!”
We cannot let the failing REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT, who could not stop Obama (twice), ruin the MOVEMENT with millions of $’s in false ads!

I will be using Facebook and Twitter to expose dishonest lightweight Senator Marco Rubio. A record no-show in Senate, he is scamming Florida

After a weekend in which Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz each won two states, both Trump and Cruz have suggested that Rubio drop out of the race.
Trump also took aim at Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a former presidential candidate who says Republicans should rally around Sen. Ted Cruz rather than Trump.
“Failed presidential candidate Lindsey Graham should respect me,” Trump tweeted. “I destroyed his run, brought him from 7 pct to 0 pct when he got out. Now nasty!”
Lindsey Graham is all over T.V., much like failed 47% candidate Mitt Romney. These nasty, angry, jealous failures have ZERO credibility!

After dropping out of the race, Graham endorsed Jeb Bush, one of the Republican candidates who Trump feuded with the most. Although Graham and Bush are now both out of the race, to Trump they symbolize the hoards of Republicans who are attempting to thwart the business mogul’s candidacy.
Trump indicated late Sunday that he’d be using social media to fight other examples of “fraudulent commercials” that push for “crooked politicians.”
How do you fight millions of dollars of fraudulent commercials pushing for crooked politicians? I will be using Facebook & Twitter. Watch!

Trump has been able to bring thousands of new voters to the polls by railing against the Republican establishment. Mid-way through the primary process, he the leads the field, and has forced the GOP to scramble to find an alternative candidate.
