Rubio: Trump is 'an embarrassment' and Republicans will pay big in November [View all]

Source: The Guardian

The Republican party will be consigned to the wilderness at November’s US presidential election “and beyond” if it chooses Donald Trump as its candidate, rival Marco Rubio has said.

In an interview with the Guardian on Monday evening, the Florida senator – whose fate is likely to be sealed if he fails to win his home state on Tuesday night – said the New York billionaire was an embarrassment who would not be respected around the world.

A lot of GOP trying to derail the Trump machine.

I'm almost beginning to think, knock wood, that the damage is already
done and is not entirely repairable even if they do succeed in dumping

Trump has steamrolled all of them and their party and its beliefs. He's not
consistent with much of what they normally run on. Unbelievable.
