With Donald Trump set for a yuuge victory in tomorrow's Super Tuesday slugfest - oddsmakers see 80% chance of Trump being the nominee - tensions are mounting dramatically within the Republican establishment. As The FT reports, many mainstream Republicans believe Mr Trump would struggle to beat Hillary Clinton and are urgently rallying around their man Rubio with some senior Republicans saying privately that they might consider voting for Mrs Clinton if Mr Trump were to end up as their party nominee as one conservative commentator exclaimed "we are on the verge of a real meltdown in the Republican party."
Trump's lead in the polls over his GOP nominee 'peers' continues to grow...
As The FT reports, while Mr Rubio and Mr Trump ramp up their attacks on each other ahead of the March 1 primaries, Republican grandees and lawmakers are turning to the Florida senator as they become increasingly worried that the property tycoon could lock up the GOP presidential nomination within three weeks.
They fear that a victory for Mr Trump could fatally fracture the party and prevent them from winning the White House in November.
Many mainstream Republicans believe Mr Trump would struggle to beat Hillary Clinton, the clear Democratic frontrunner after her resounding victory over Bernie Sanders in South Carolina on Saturday, given the comments he has made about Hispanics, Muslims, women, disabled people and people who have criticised his campaign.
But, as the following chart shows, it's far too close to call...

So rather than vote for someone they think resembles a liberal, they will protest by voting for someone who personifies liberalism. This is called cutting off your
nose to spite your face, which wouldn’t be so bad if it were only their face. But their immaturity could punish the whole nation.
The Wash DC gravy train is headed for a train wreck.
No names?
Their backers or those logging on to FR are having meltdown.
The money in illegals must be tremendous from Teaching them in school to using them as low paid employees and customers to cheat. Here people rent out their garages to illegals and put 4-8 in a Garage and charge $400 up per illegal per month.
Trump will bring an end to that, and those up to their ears in milking the illegals could be bankrupt very quick.
From the lowest level to high corporate level in America, Trump is hated and lied about.
They’re not afraid Hillary will win. They’re afraid Donald Trump will win.
It’s not just the GOP imploding

Proving the Rino Establishment has always been just Liberals with an (R) after their name.
Death to the uniparty!
These Bastards opposed Ronald Reagan, too. F ‘em. Vote for Donald Trump!
Nothing like being a traitor and voting for a democrat.
We told them they were a uni-party.
They told us we were crazy.
Now they promise to vote Hillary unless we relent.
Sure proved us wrong didn’t they.
Trump has been disinfecting sunshine in the republican party.
I hope that conservatives will survive this great clash to come. As for the Republican Party, I care not. Their only role in this political system was to stand up to the criminal and socialist element of this country’s political establishment known as the Democrat Party. Since the Republican is barely distinguishable from the Democrats, they no longer serve any purpose. Let them be gone.
The danger, of course, is that in the vacuum, the Democrats will seize power and never let go. Trump can prevent this, but that is probably his only useful role. He is certainly no conservative, but he is likely the only person today who can drive a stake through the heart of the Progressives.
I do love how the GOPe loves to lose the White House.
Good, good..
Senior republicans put your name in this here list :)
We shall now know (even more) who to Cantorize
So? She’s one of their own kind........bystards!!!
I think we have always suspected that, but now, these suck bags are not even trying to hide it.
