Rubio: Trump would be 'selling watches'

Marco Rubio laced into Donald Trump on his inheritance from his father, remarking that he would not be on stage in Houston had he not had a cushy start to life.

“Here’s the guy that inherited $200 million. If he hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan," Rubio said, after Trump alluded to the Florida senator's past financial dealings. ("Here's a guy who buys a house for $179,000 and sells to it a lobbyist who's probably here for $380,000 and then legislation is passed," Trump said.)

Trump fired back at Rubio's remark: "No, no, no, that is so wrong. We'll work on that. I took $1 million and I turned it into $10 billion."
