Cruz calls Super Tuesday ‘most important day’ in 2016 race

“He’s flying around on Hair Force One”, Rubio fired back at a campaign event in suburban Atlanta. So is he angling to be attorney general in a Trump administration?

Trump, speaking in front of his private plane in Arkansas, along with Christie, whose endorsement on Friday shocked Republican leaders anxious about his likelihood of winning the nomination, belittled Rubio and accused him of being fresh.

“Rubio needs to stay on the attack like he has started to do so effectively and portray this Christie endorsement as nothing more than a selfish act”, Desilets said. Sure, he will be a helpful surrogate and attack dog on the trail and on television.

Kasich has been endorsed by one of Baker’s political mentors, former Republican Gov. Bill Weld.

He also has seen, over time, a kind of quiet establishment comfort with Trump — in New Jersey and among other friends, including big-money people in the party and also regular people he interacts with.

Rep. Peter King of Long Island, the longest-serving Republican in the delegation, endorsed Rubio on Tuesday.

Todd Harris, a senior adviser to Rubio, told reporters that Trump “can’t put a coherent noun and verb together”.

Both candidates jabbed at Trump.

Trump, who has won three of the four Republican primaries, is leading in all but Texas State opinion polls, where he is having a close fight with his main rival Senator Ted Cruz.

“I’m not disappointed, I’m surprised”, Baker said. Rubio continued the verbal assault on Friday, repeatedly called Trump “a con artist” during a series of interviews created to weaken Trump’s tightening grasp on the Republican presidential nomination.

Later on Friday, Trump had a odd encounter with a protester who revealed he was wearing a shirt that said “KKK endorses Trump” before he was escorted out of a campaign rally in Oklahoma City.

“I don’t know why, because the podium goes up to here”, he said, signaling his midsection. Rubio, along with Cruz, has been fighting to take Trump down and establish himself as the clear alternative.
