Donald Trump and Marco Rubio got into a heated exchange during the Fox News GOP debate, with Trump calling Rubio "Little Marco" multiple times, and Rubio accusing him of never answering any questions.

"You see what happens when you challenge him on a policy issue?" Rubio asked. "The first thing he does is launch an attack about some little guy, because he doesn't have answers. He's asking us to make him the president of the United States. This is not a game." "You don't know what's happening in the economy," Trump shot back. "You haven't employed in your life one person. I've employed tens of thousands of people."
