Ex-GOP hopeful Chris Christie backs Trump in White House race

Former presidential hopeful and New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, says he's backing Donald Trump. "If there is, I've never seen it, nor do I know anyone who has", former Utah governor and Mitt Romney advisor Michael O. Leavitt told the Times. "I guess because I figured Governor Christie would probably not participate in the campaign at this point", he said.

We don't need another Washington politician in the White House, do we?

Cruz has a single-digit lead over Trump ahead of Texas' primary Tuesday.

Trump, meantime, branded Rubio "Mr. Meltdown" for flubbing his response to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in a previous debate.

Recently, Rubio is getting more "Trump-like" in his attacks.

England's Paul Casey had been eliminated from the playoff on the previous hole. "Tee-to-green was pretty good", McIlroy said. He shot a 2-under 69 and is tied for seventh, four shots behind Kokrak. "I've never played the golf course soft", he added.

With the high-profile exception of Christie, many "establishment" Republicans have coalesced around Rubio in the hope of stopping Trump from gaining their party's mantle in the general election. "And we have to put a stop to it".

"Donald Trump is someone who when he makes a promise, he keeps it", said Mr Christie, who until two weeks ago was himself a rival of Mr Trump.

"He's says I'm a choker?" "Donald Trump is someone who when he makes a promise, he keeps it", Christie said.

A woman had alleged that Trump had "groped" her and made sexual advances on several occasions between 1992 and 1997, after her boyfriend had struck a business deal with the tycoon.

The attacks followed similar outbursts during Thursday night's 10th Republican TV debate in Texas.

McGregor then asserted Diaz is an unskilled brawler and made fun of the contracted 170-pound weight limit, saying they're fighting for "the McGregor belt".

He is a solid person that I have tremendous respect for.

Last June, in a tweet slamming one of his favorite Twitter targets, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, Trump tweeted, "I hear that dopey political pundit Lawrence O'Donnell, one of the dummer people on television is about to lose his show- no ratings?" And I'll tell you, on Tuesday we're going to have a very good night.

There was little sign that Trump's stock was falling at the Fort Worth rally where supporters gathered. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will also be at the Chevy Bricktown Events Center on Sunday.

"I'm happy to be on the Trump team and I look forward to working with him".

Watch: Trump tosses a water bottle around mocking Marco Rubio. Trump has said he would build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, U.S. trade negotiators are weak and it's risky to take in Syrian refugees because terrorists could be among them.
