Trump leads Republican race, but rival candidates continue to hang on

Mr Trump’s remarks, likely unprecedented in a U.S. presidential debate, appeared as the nadir of a campaign season already notable for its provocative and assaulting tone. “He hit my hands”, Trump said.

While Romney stopped short of endorsing any particular Republican candidate, he said that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Gov. John Kasich could be superior alternatives and that Trump’s prospective nomination would “enable [Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s] victory”. Mr Trump held up his two arms, to laughter and boos from the crowd. “I would look at that as a reflection of how bad she is, not how bad Donald Trump is”. “Are they small hands?”

“I brought millions and millions people into the Republican Party over the last very short period of time”, Trump said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” After Super Tuesday, Marco Rubio called for emergency collective action by the remaining contenders to stop the “con man” Trump without adjudicating for the present which of them would win the prize. He said he had changed his mind to support allowing in more highly skilled workers from overseas, adding, “I’m changing”.

Donald and Megyn will face off for another round of political hardball as she joins Bret Baier, 45, and Chris Wallace, 68, to moderate the March 3 debate from the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

A day after unleashing a brutal assault on Donald Trump’s character and fitness for office, Mitt Romney denied he wants to become the GOP presidential nominee instead.

At the start of the debate, Mr Trump made a veiled reference to his own genitals.

He shrugged when presented with videotaped evidence from the moderators that he had shifted positions on the Iraq war, immigration and whether to admit refugees from the Syrian civil war.

Trump navigated a debate that took juvenile and raucous turns, as only Trump can and does.

Trump is “trying to do to the American voter what he did to the people that signed up for this course”, Rubio said.

But the fact all three of Mr Trump’s competitors conceded they would support him, may only serve to bolster his already significant lead.

“I’m not running for president, and I won’t run for president”, Romney said.
