With next week’s Super Tuesday primary elections looming on the horizon, the Republican presidential candidate told the crowd that “we risk losing the greatest country in the history of the world” as he sought to distance himself from his top two GOP rivals, Florida Sen.

Cruz is warning that the “Trump train” could be “unstoppable” if he wins big victories Tuesday.

Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were in the Atlanta area over the weekend ahead of the Georgia primary on Tuesday. The Republican Party created that system to help establishment candidates. That’s openly speculative. Do you have any facts to support that Donald Trump has mob ties? “Donald Trump is unfit to be president”, Meg Whitman, chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard, said in a statement reported by NBC’s “Meet the Press” programme. And he responded that the supporters who elevated Trump to wins in those states weren’t dumb – they were just swindled. Marco Rubio of Florida, both released partial tax returns Saturday evening in an attempt to put more pressure on Trump.

Rubio and Cruz have stepped up their attacks on the billionaire, who has the support of almost 50 percent of GOP voters, according to a new CNN poll released Monday. Voters in these Super Tuesday states also believe Trump has the best chance to win in November, and the most optimistic message. “It takes 1,237 delegates to be the nominee of the Republican Party”.

“I know nothing about David Duke”, Trump said on “State of the Union”.

Losing his voice after three sold-out rallies across the state, Rubio brought some new material to the heavily college-age audience of more than 3,000 at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, in the southwestern part of the state.

Cruz told Tapper he hopes “those 65% of Republicans that don’t think Donald can beat Hillary will continue to unite behind our campaign”.

In the Democratic race, meanwhile, Clinton leads Sanders in Georgia by 34 points among likely Democratic primary voters, 64 percent to 30 percent.

“I went into this with my eyes wide open”.

“If he’s our nominee, it could be the end of the Republican Party”, Rubio added.

“I’ve known Donald for 14 years, so I don’t have some of concerns personally that some people have that don’t know him all that well”, Christie said.
