Cruz, speaking to donors in Tennessee, said he “had a lot of fun” during the debate, “I think Donald Trump had a tough night”. But that’s in the past, Doherty said, predicting the state party would get behind Trump.

Christie said that he believes the party needs to elect the candidate most likely to beat Clinton.
LePage’s endorsement, revealed in a radio interview with Howie Carr, came on the same day that Gov. Chris Christie endorsed the NY businessman for the presidency.
The Christie announcement was followed by a almost hour long rally in Fort Worth where Mr. Trump openly mocked his competition including Florida Sen. Bad-boy ex-basketball star Dennis Rodman tweeted a semi-profane sentiment at Ted Cruz regarding the hit show The Apprentice on Friday, which you probably didn’t even hear about because literally everything that happened on the campaign trail today was way more ridiculous than that.

Christie accused Rubio of repeating an answer multiple times; though it didn’t help Christie, it did slow the momentum building around Rubio.
“If it had happened I think I would have remembered”. “I just watched you repeat yourself five times five seconds ago”, Rubio said with glee.
