Rubio Still Resentful Over Christie's Debate Thrashing Despite Claiming Otherwise

Marco Rubio continues to hold a grudge against Chris Christie for attacking him during a 2016 Republican primary debate.
Rubio lashed out at reporters and commentators who said Christie ended his presidential campaign with his aggressive criticisms during the debate.
Rubio admitted the debate was a failure because he didn't fight back as he wanted to and instead followed advice to avoid direct confrontation.
Rubio claimed his campaign wasn't ended by Christie and that he had success in some early primaries, but Christie reignited their old feud by launching another presidential bid.
Political observers mocked Rubio for his thin skin in still complaining about the debate rather than moving on from the embarrassing episode.
