Donald Trump Just Got Some Terrible News... Please Prey Accord to recent reports, Donald Trump is now leading the GOP race by an increasingly smaller margin. To make matters worse, Marco Rubio recently picked up three key endorsements from establishment Republicans. The Daily Caller reports that Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Palenty, and Rep. Cresesnt Hardy of Nevada have all gone public in their support of Rubio. Their announcements came shortly after Rubio took second place behind Trump in South Carolina. Like myself, Marco came from humble beginnings and worked very hard to get to where he is today, Tillis said in his statement. Marco lived the American dream. Im supporting Marco Rubio for president because he has an unmatched ability to inspire and uplift the American people. I think it comes down to this, Pawlenty began on CNNs New Day. Hes strong, hes also informed, hes conservative, and hes electable, and he can unite the party. You cant ask for much more than that. I think hes got the total package, and I think hes going to bring forward the strongest voice, the strongest image, and really the most thoughtful and informed strong view about how to move this country forward from a conservative perspective. Hardy also announced his support during a public rally on Sunday night. I think Marco is the right guy, Hardy commented. The right person for me. I think he is the right person for this state. And I think he is the right person for this country. What do you think of Rubio as the GOP candidate?
