“Do they go with Trump to knock out Cruz or do they spread their votes among Rubio and Kasich?” he said.

“He’s desperate”, Trump said. “That was one of the epic meltdowns”. If he is being audited every year, there goes his mantra of hiring the best people. Rubio put him on his heels repeatedly and even when Trump struck back, Marco pounced on him.
During the event, Rubio pulled out his phone and read a series of Trump tweets – what some are calling ‘mean tweets, ‘ a reference to a Jimmy Kimmel sketch.
Thursday night’s debate at the University of Houston may have also helped the anti-Trump sentiment among Republicans.
Trump said Rubio was putting makeup on with a “trowel”.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Marco Rubio unleashed a campaign’s worth of harsh criticism on Donald Trump in the final Republican debate before Tuesday’s crucial primaries. He added, “But I’m telling you also, I’m bringing people, Democrats over and I’m bringing independents over, and we’re building a much bigger, much stronger Republican Party”.
Bernadette McLeroy, a Hispanic community activist from Houston, said she deliberately showed up late to the Thursday’s gala Houston GOP dinner because she didn’t want to get into debates about the election. The businessman told a crowd of thousands of supporters that Rubio is a “choker” and not fit to be president. According to InsideGov data, Trump has talked for a total of two hours and 28 minutes in the nine debates where he’s participated. “And there’s a lot of material to work with”.

He was forceful, relentless, and didn’t hesitate to interrupt Trump. From start to finish, Rubio’s performance was a master class in presidential debating. He needed to wait for the field to narrow, to have a more pointed back and forth with one candidate. Moments later, Rubio moved to cast Trump as a huckster who outsourced the manufacturing of the clothing that bears his name to countries like Mexico and China even as he promised to wage a trade war against those countries. But regardless, his campaign now is planning for all scenarios, including a contested convention. We expect to earn some delegates on March 1 and after that further ramp up our focus on MI with a week-long statewide bus tour there. “We think that, we say that, but when you look at the [polling] cross-tabs of what’s piling up right now, there’s no reason to think at all that 70 percent or 80 percent of Kasich’s support will go to Rubio”. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. “It’s just not helpful”.
“Kasich was the only guy up there with substance, with ideas, acting like an adult, acting presidential”, said Chris Sununu, the New Hampshire Republican who has endorsed Kasich.
He had a simple formula for who could advance.
Bloomberg’s anti-gun crusades and staunch pro-choice views would appeal to progressives, just as his former tough-on-crime policies and steadfast support of the Israeli government would appeal to most conservatives.

“I thought he was going to die”, Trump said. “That’s an indication of his inability to win this nomination”.
