Trump, Rubio, Cruz Take Aim at Each Other Ahead of Super Tuesday

Marco Rubio is waging a fresh verbal assault against Donald Trump the day after he and Republican rival Ted Cruz tag-teamed the Republican front-runner on the debate stage.

“There is no one who is better prepared to provide America with the strong leadership that it needs, both at home and around the world, than Donald Trump”, Christie said.

“Donald Trump is, I think, tapping into an energy that is bringing more people out to vote”, said Rep. Jeff Denham, whose northern California district went for President Barack Obama twice. I am calling on you – with all of your energy, with all of your passion over the next four days – to pick up the phone and call your friends, your neighbors, your family, your coworkers, anyone and everyone you know and say, ‘This election matters.

Trump also recalled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s attack against Rubio’s memorized lines during a previous GOP debate.

Mr Christie dropped out of the race two weeks ago.

Christie’s endorsement was so far the most influential for Trump.

Mr Trump was ahead in polls in 10 of the 11 states set to vote on “Super Tuesday” next week.

Meanwhile in Perry, Georgia, a fired-up Cruz jabbed at Trump and Rubio while discussing his flat tax plan and pledge to abolish the IRS.

In addition to attacking Trump, Rubio spoke on the economy, student loans, Guantanamo Bay, and even addressed a supporter about going to the prom while at the outdoor rally that filled the stands at a football field.

Trump was hammered at Thursday night’s debate for not releasing his tax returns.

Cruz countered by stating he had widespread Hispanic support during his senatorial campaign in Texas, while Rubio responded by saying Hispanic voters care more about more than just immigration.

Although they differ in some ways, Furlong says Christie adds something important to Trump’s campaign.

While Rubio’s release makes him the first of the three leading GOP candidates to release at least some material, the depth of his documentation lags well behind that of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who released full returns.

“I think this changes the narrative in a dramatic way”, said Fred Malek, a major Republican fundraiser, of Christie’s decision. The other two candidates, Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, and John Kasich, the OH governor, were largely left to watch the fireworks. Mr. LePage urged the governors to draft an open letter “to the people”, disavowing Mr. Trump and his divisive brand of politics.

In fact, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said it may be possible to work with Donald Trump in the White House. But he said he doesn’t anticipate voting for Trump or Texas U.S. Sen.
