Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas, as well as Gov. John Kasich of OH, said they would.

I haven’t said this in a long time: Mitt happens!
Rubio went first, saying he’d support Donald Trump because Bernie Sanders is a socialist and he believes Hillary Clinton is a liar.
Trump also used the beginning of the debate to hit back at allegations he has small hands, stating “Look at these hands – are they small hands?” Trump returned an insult by calling Rubio, a “lightweight” and “a real con artist”.
Rubio pressed Trump on the foreign workers he has imported to work at his Palm Beach resort, jobs he said could go to Americans.
On the debate stage, Trump stretched his hands out for the audience to see – then insisted that the suggestion that “something else must be small” was false. Cruz can’t do it on his own, and although Kelly should have plenty of reason to not favor Trump, she’s visibly softening.
During the forum, Cruz tore into rival Donald Trump admonishing him to calm down and “breathe, breathe, breathe”.
The debate takes place just hours after an extraordinary intraparty back-and-forth between Romney – the Republican presidential nominee just four years ago – and the current front-runner, Trump. Additionally, he said bombshell information lurks within his tax returns, which Trump has yet to release.
Trump, with 10 state victories, leads the field with 329 delegates.
“He’s trying to do to the American voter what he did to the people who signed up for this course…it’s our country that’s at stake here”, Rubio said. The 12-year-old version of me would have laughed like insane at Trump’s “guarantee” about the size of his genitals.
Trump, who arrives in Detroit after winning seven of 11 states on Super Tuesday, said he is building up and uniting the Republicans in the face of critics who include the party’s nominee in 2012, Mitt Romney.
Meanwhile, despite former presidential candidate Lindsey Graham’s harsh opinion of Donald Trump, he thinks a brokered convention would be unfair to the frontrunner and Trump would leave and has a right to leave.
He said he would likely endorse after the March 15 primaries.
The opportunity was apparently too much to resist for Florida senator Marco Rubio.
That was when Kelly’s tough questioning about Trump’s treatment of women blew up into a running argument between Fox and the candidate.

“Is this the debate you want playing out in the general election?” 155 delegates are up for grabs and a candidate needs 1,237 to win. These unpledged delegates are the superdelegates, and they are made up of elected officials, like members of Congress, notable members of the party, like President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, and members of the Democratic National Committee.
