“Mainstream Republican donors and elected officials are swiftly flocking to Sen. Marco Rubio amid a growing sense that is he is the last best chance to prevent Donald Trump from running away with the Republican nomination,” the Washington Post reports.
“But Rubio’s path remains narrow and perilous. He has yet to win a state, and a raft of major March 1 contests known as “Super Tuesday” offers few obvious chances for him to do so. And if Trump keeps racking up wins, it will become more difficult to blunt his progress. Increasingly, there is a recognition among Republican elites that if Trump is not slowed by the middle of March, it may be too late to prevent him from winning the nomination.”
