Trump's well-timed Christie endorsement could be a game-changer

"He's desperate", Trump said.

It's a busy weekend for presidential candidates in Oklahoma City. Speaking at a football stadium at Mount Paran Christian School in suburban Atlanta, Rubio said Trump has "the worst spray tan in America".

Yet if Trump goes on to win the nomination, Wical said, he would support him in November "to keep Hillary-the-liar or Bernie-the-socialist out of the White House".

This video includes images from Getty Images and clips from CNN, Marco Rubio for President, C-SPAN and CBS, NBC, ABC.

Democratic National Committee National press secretary Mark Paustenbach said Christie's endorsement is the best example yet that the GOP is the party of Trump.

"I built a great business", he said, adding that he wished his father had given him $200 million as Rubio alleged in the debate. While polling shows Trump leading in nearly every state voting on Tuesday, Cruz is showing strength in his home state.

Johnson & Johnson in talc trouble, asked to pay $72 mn
It is the first verdict to award damages in a string of allegations over cancer risks relating to talc-based products. The jury found that J&J was liable for negligence, conspiracy and fraud, said the lawyers of the family.

The endorsement is yet more momentum as Trump moves into the critical Super Tuesday primary elections next week and was followed by a nod from Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who broke the news in an interview with Howie Carr, a conservative radio talk-show host.

Trump also recalled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's attack against Rubio's memorized lines during a previous GOP debate.

Trump accompanied his rollout of Christie with a stream of invective against Rubio as their debate night brawl spilled onto the campaign trail.

Christie offered an extended preview of his that role Friday, hurling barb after barb at Rubio, who he painted as a "nervous nellie" who was "wholly unprepared to be president of the United States".

During Rubio's stop just three hours before he called out the GOP front-Runner in no uncertain terms.

Well, I think that they're clearly the background here, not only for the candidates themselves, but for a strategy that the Republican Party unleashed in the late 1970s - and that was their Southern strategy. An impressive performance on Tuesday and a few wins, Rubio's supporters believe, would help him consolidate his position among the party's establishment. I've met Marco Rubio.

"They do not know the playbook with Donald Trump because he is rewriting the playbook".

The Washington Post, which Trump alleged had been bought by Amazon founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos "to have political influence", asked in an editorial: "Is Mr. Trump a threat to democracy?" In the primary contests, Trump is largely funding his own campaign.

Wilson said Texas is really "Cruz's last stand" to make a run at Trump.

In the debate Thursday in Houston, Rubio attacked Trump on immigration, foreign policy and hiring practices.

Although he was forced to drop out of this year's White House race after polling badly, he provides Trump with a powerful surrogate, who has earned a reputation as a potent attack dog.

Christie is not the first high-profile Republican to get behind Trump. Just ahead of the February 1 Iowa caucuses-where he placed second behind Cruz-Trump announced he'd received the endorsements of Sarah Palin and evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.
