Analysis: Rubio, Cruz Forge Loose Alliance to Block Trump

For months, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio tried to tear each other down in a bid to become Donald Trump’s top challenger. The senators are now unlikely allies in an effort to stop Trump’s march toward the Republican nomination.

The strategy shift was on full display in Thursday’s GOP debate. Rubio and Cruz ignored each other almost entirely, choosing to instead fully focus their attention on the billionaire businessman whose surprising dominance of the 2016 race has shaken the Republican Party to its core.

Now that the dust from Super Tuesday has settled, what happens next?

The rest of the GOP field is still looking for a way to slow Donald Trump’s momentum and Bernie Sanders is fighting to keep with up Hillary Clinton. But there are still a handful of delegate rich states for the candidates to fight over.

5 takeaways from the GOP debate

It might be too late to beat Donald Trump, but it wasn’t too late to give Trump a beating.

Two days after Super Tuesday put the billionaire frontrunner on a nearly unstoppable path to his party’s nomination, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz – now on a dual mission to deny him the 1,237 delegates needed to win – went after Trump with a vengeance that owed more to the wrestling ring than elective democracy.

With just a quartet of Republicans remaining in the race and standing on the Michigan debate stage, there was an opportunity for each one to break though—but none fully seized the moment. Donald Trump was at the center of attention all night and took the bulk of the blows, but he never wilted or appeared cowed.

After 10 debates spent attacking each other, underdog Republicans finally focused virtually all their collective fire on Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner who was savaged by the last Republican nominee just hours earlier in a dramatic broadside.

Marco Rubio, who has spent the last week torching the Republican front-runner as a “con artist,” dismissed Trump’s immigration and foreign policies as unserious. Ted Cruz slammed the numerous checks he’s written to boost Hillary Clinton’s political career.

GOP debate winners and losers

The Republican presidential debate on Thursday night will be remembered for its insults, showdowns, and one very personal declaration from GOP front-runner Donald Trump about his anatomy.

Here’s a look at the winners and losers from a chaotic and memorable night in Detroit only two days before the next round of contests, as the challengers seek to shake Trump out of the top spot.
