Halperin: ‘Notion’ Florida Is Rubio’s Home State More than It’s Trump’s Is Wrong

‘I think for a lot of voters that’s just wrong’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "Can you explain that to me for a second, Mark Halperin. Talk about the connections with the state and what you’ve heard down there about ironically who seems to be more embedded with the state with natural connections, the guy that has served as United States senator and Florida speaker of the house or a developer of golf courses and country clubs."
HALPERIN: "Well, I compare it to the experience out in Nevada where Trump won big, right? You go to the Las Vegas strip, there’s a giant billboard for Donald Trump. The trump international hotel. He’s a guy associated with the culture of that state. When I landed in Miami yesterday from my plane I saw two trump properties with big branding that you could see from the air. What does this state like? This state likes celebrity. It likes success. It likes people who strike it rich. Trump has been a brand name in south Florida and really the whole country but particularly south Florida far longer and with more intensity than Marco Rubio ever has and so the notion that this is Rubio’s state more than trump’s home state I think for a lot of voters is just wrong."
