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...

Appears like the GOP-e are cut from the same cloth as the “true conservatives”.
Would these be the same Republicans who do not get along with Ted Cruz?
Any republican who would vote for Hillary!
is no Republican!
They would rather keep their cushy positions and perks for themselves than do what’s actually good for the country. I can’t wait to vote against a few of them tomorrow.
So let me see if I have this right——they’ll vote for Hillary if they don’t get their way.
And then they wonder why we are all FED UP.

Oh, as I keep reading here, that is because they are the "vessel of conservatism," I state with all due sarcasm, irony and derision of anyone who could possibly fall for that view after the overwhelming evidence that GOPe is controlled by con artists.
These folks can never ever ever again tell us to suck it up and vote for their guy.
: ) Nice reference. This is an election year to be remembered.
How about their ovaries, then?
Voting with their vaginas, as Susan Sarandon quipped.
I’ll give you names who just stated tonight they will never vote for Trump if he is the nominee.
Gov. Cristie Whitman and, former adviser to Bush and Romney, Dan Senor
Must keep Establishment gravy train rolling.
Then they just need to change their party affiliation and be kicked out. Dumb As*es.
snot coming out of their whatever...
Now that Cruz and Rubio are an item, I’m sure there’s a place at the GOPe table for Teddy.
What utter BS.
Trump has vowed to rebuild the military and restore its morale, after it has been decimated by Obama the GOPe who voted to cut it again and again (and then passed Sequestration that placed the burder on 50% of all cuts on the military budget alone).
Trump will be a friend of the military and a strong America. These neocons and establishment liars are grasping at straws. They just don't want the borders secured.
“I will rebuild our military. It will be so strong and so powerful and so great… that we’ll never have to use it. Nobody’s gonna mess with us.”
Donald Trump
Hmm... wonder how Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly and Levin would vote?!
If they are going to vote for Hillary they should just become Democrats in name as well as fact.
Christy Whitman, eh??
This kind of talk shows what is really most important to them.
And it’s not America.
