Trump on Rubio: ‘Once a Choker, Always a Choker’

COOPER: "You’ve had a lot of money thrown against you in just these last couple of weeks." 
TRUMP: "This never been anything like it."
COOPER: "This whole never Trump movement, is it dead do you think?" 
TRUMP: "Well, I think it’s mortally wounded. I do think it is mortally wounded. Marco had a very rough night. He had no delegates. He got nothing. And that was a very, very bad night. And, you know, when people have hit me, if you watch, and it’s been the story of my life, (INAUDIBLE), but everybody that’s hit me has gone down. They all came at me. Perry came at me. I can go through Lindsey Graham came at me. Bush came at me. Every one of them came at me. And every one of them that’s come at me has gone down. And wouldn’t it be nice to have that happen with our country where we can very simply win again?"
COOPER: "So what do you think was Rubio’s demise?" 
TRUMP: "I think he tried to be Don Rickles, frankly. He wanted to be Don Rickles and he’s not Don Rickles. And it took me by surprise. I mean, I’m standing at one of the debates and all of a sudden, he got nasty. He was very nasty."
COOPER: "Did he get under your skin?" 
TRUMP: "No, he didn’t. Nobody gets under my skin. I mean, you have to handle it. But he was really rude. And, in fact, for a while, I wasn’t even sure if what I was seeing was right. Then he had a horrible debate with Chris Christie where he folded. I mean, he totally choked. And you know the expression. Once a choker, always a choker."
COOPER: "Do you think going after you, you know, with jokes, with humor, with insults, that took him off his message"
TRUMP: "I think so. He wasn’t only joking. I mean, he was insulting and, you know, made up insults, a nasty insults." COOPER: "And it weakened him do you think in a long term?"
TRUMP: "It turned out to. I didn’t know it would. I mean, I think I hit him very hard. I probably hit him much harder. But maybe for me it’s more natural. It wasn’t natural for him. And took him off his game. Amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it. And he went from being, you know, from doing pretty good to now he is at the bottom of the pack."
