Competing Quote by Eric Bolling
“What I call an establishment or insiders, is that for a long time, they haven't fought to win. They haven't - they have run to win. Marco Rubio is literally telling voters to vote for another candidate that he is competing against in Ohio, just to stop Donald Trump. Couple of thoughts, what of his donors has to say about that?”
