‘There is no better fighter than Donald Trump, ‘ Christie said during a news conference in Fort Worth, Texas, the same day that Trump and Republican rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz echoed the savage attacks on each other that marked Thursday’s debate in Houston.

Bernie Sanders says he knows what happened Saturday night when Hillary Clinton clobbered him by roughly 50 percentage points in SC.
The comments sparked a wave of censures with just two days to go before 11 states hold GOP primaries involving about a quarter of the party’s total nominating delegate count.
It looked at how many in the party’s establishment are throwing their weight behind Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and how he’s working to shore up support among fellow politicians.
“We’re going to have to save the Republican Party from being taken over by a con artist”, he said, making jokes about “Hair Force One”, and continuing that Trump should sue the people who “did that to his face”. “To the parents: Would you be proud of your children if they came home and repeated the words of Donald Trump?”.
Haley said Trump is everything “we teach our kids not to do in kindergarten”. “So here’s the one tweet he put out, he put out a picture of me having makeup put on me at the debate, which is incredible to me, that a guy with the worst spray tan in America is attacking me for putting on makeup”, Rubio said. “We’re not angry people, but we’re angry at the way this country’s being run (and) angry at the way the Republican Party is being run”.
The billionaire on Sunday passed up an opportunity to condemn former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke of Louisiana and other white supremacists who have expressed support for his 2016 presidential bid.
Rubio released summaries of five tax years Saturday and Cruz later released summaries of four years, from 2011 to 2014.
Cruz told Tapper he hopes “those 65% of Republicans that don’t think Donald can beat Hillary will continue to unite behind our campaign”.
“We are here to win the state on Tuesday, Trump quipped, “Maybe I’ll start shopping permanently at Walmart”.
“If Donald becomes president, who the heck knows what he would do”.
Cruz and Rubio have both targeted the developer for allegedly hiring foreign workers instead of Americans at his properties in the United States, which Cruz says contradicts his hardline rhetoric on illegal immigration.

Still, Cruz confirmed to CNN’s Jake Tapper that he “will support the Republican nominee, period, the end”. Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson remain in the race, although none have the level of support from as many governors and members of Congress as Rubio.
