Former co-chair of Christie’s campaign shreds Trump endorsement
Clinton, the former secretary of state, has a chance to significantly add to her already big lead over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race.
Rubio revealed that he has been going after Trump more ahead of Super Tuesday because voters need to know the billionaire’s candidacy is a scam.
But a WFAA Texas TEGNA poll last week showed the senator tied with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump – both at 32 percent.
Todd then cut Cruz off, calling the accusation “openly speculative” and challenging Cruz to produce evidence of Trump’s alleged mafia dealings. “We don’t know. But – but he’s clearly hiding something”. Cruz cast Trump as a carbon copy of Hillary Clinton and suggested that not even Trump “knows what he would do” as president.
“He just explained why he chose to back Donald Trump over the other people and why he did it now”, said Washburne, who described it as a brief call.
Trump was asked during CNN’s “State of the Union” whether he publicly condemns “the racism of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke”, who recently endorsed Trump.
“What I will tell you is, Donald Trump can’t be Hillary Clinton”. “@realDonaldTrump you’re better than this”.
“Listen, if Donald becomes president, who the heck knows what he would do?”
“I’ve been very good, I’ve been very straight and honest and honorable and they’re not treating me right”, he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation”.
Trump was at 24 percent in September before his national polling numbers began to rise substantially. “I’m not about to endorse anybody”, Christie told ABC. “I disavow”, he said, without elaborating.
Trump’s insurgent campaign has riven the Republican Party, with party leaders openly discussing how to thwart the will of the tens of thousands of members who have voted for Trump so far, helping him comfortably win in three of the four states that have so far held nominating contests.
Kasich said Trump is “going to win probably all” of the contests being held on Super Tuesday and called on any candidates that lose to the real estate developer on their respective home turf to drop out of the race.
For Ohio governor John Kasich, Super Tuesday is only about weathering the storm until the MI primary on March 8 where he expects to win. Ted Cruz. Rubio, however, has capitalized on Jeb Bush’s departure from the race to rack up endorsements from top Republican fundraisers.
“We went up there today with signs that said ‘Marco Rubio is an empty suit, ‘ and we had suits in our hands”, said Washington resident Collin Rees.
Sanders, who has energized the party’s liberal wing and successfully courted numerous party’s youth, on Sunday acknowledged he had been “decimated” by Clinton in SC.
Republicans will vote in 11 states, with 595 delegates at stake. He said he had raised $10,000 for the Clinton campaign in the past week alone. “And that’s OK. That’s what makes this country great is that people can have differences of political opinion”, he said.
