Marco Rubio and Donald Trump traded charges over the formers finances and credit card history this week.
"Marco Rubio has a disaster on his finances. He has a disaster on his credit cards...let's see what you find, let's see what kind of reporters you are. Won't be hard," Trump said, according to ABC News.
"I find it ironic that the only person running for president that's ever declared a bankruptcy -- four times in the last 25 years -- is attacking anyone on finances," Rubio said Thursday in New Hampshire, reacting to Trump's repeated speculation on the Florida senator's personal finances.
Reports of Rubio charging his personal expenditures to an American Express credit card of the Republican party of Florida while serving as the state's house speaker from 2006 to 2008 have haunted him for long time.
"My lack of bookkeeping skills would come back to haunt me. I had helped create the misunderstandings my opponents exploited," Rubio wrote, referring to efforts by Charlie-Crist, his opponent during the 2010 Senate race, to make issues of his expenditures, The Guardian reported.
"When Donald comes across a poll he doesn't like, he gets weird and he does these sorts of strange things and that's fine - that's the sort of campaign he wants to run and he's entitled to it. I'm going to continue to talk about the future of America. I can't respond to everything he says, I wouldn't be able to run a campaign," Rubio said at a news conference in Goffstown, N.H., regarding Trump's jibe about him being a "disaster with credit cards," according to The New York Times.
