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...

If Republican “leaders” are going to vote for a Democrat, why should I ever vote Republican again?
Those Republican leaders were called something very similar back during the Revolution: Tories.
Same behavior.
Their days are numbered.
Their days are numbered.
You mean they gotta have some balls before they can take’em home?
“Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You’re gonna go far, you’re gonna fly
You’re never gonna die,
You’re gonna make it if you try
They’re gonna love you
Well I’ve always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic,
That is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one’s pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it ‘riding the gravy train’”
Songwriter: Roger Waters
I knew if we ever got the candidate that would stop The Cheap Labor Express, their flunkies would jump ship.
These are people who call themselves conservative Republicans.
They would rather have Hillary.
Makes one proud to be a conservative Republican, doesn’t it?
My guess?
- Limbaugh: Trump
- Hannity: Rubio
- O'Reilly: Rubio
- Levin: Not sure, let's ping Mark and ask him
Ah, yes, because the GOP good ole’ boys like McCain and Romney worked out so well in giving them the White House. The establishment is getting shaken up by Trump. I love it.
Hmm... wonder how Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly and Levin would vote?! They will vote for their own personal self interest. I can’t stand them.
Why not? We know who the leading RINO's are. They have been kissing up to Obama for the last 7 years. Not going to change now that its Hillary another "Progressive"..
Who ever his new girlfriend tells him to vote for.
well now the little cabal that’s controlled the GOP-e party machine... is revealed for what it is
nobody has to support any particular R candidate at this preliminary stage.
but to support Hillary or Obama.. unimaginable.. the foxes are finally taking off their chicken costumes and revealing their true nature
If they don’t like our party they should run next time as democrats... and we can run a real conservative against them..
It’s a twofer - dump a RINO and elected someone worthy of the seat.
Trump is bringing out the worst in a lot of folks. Some big schumuckie-mucks are really imploding. He,He He
These ridiculous politicians really are threatening and blackmailing the voters.
What’s this I hear about Bloomberg trying to collect Green Party endorsements?
Bingo.
That’s nothing new they vote for the Democrat’s agenda every day.
By this time tomorrow nite people should be jumping out of windows at Republican Headquarters.
