Donald Trump will be on the offensive in tonight’s Republican Debate in hopes of both slowing down Ted Cruz’s slowly building momentum and potentially putting the nail in Marco Rubio’s campaign that is about to reach a critical juncture. Watch Republican Debate 2016 online live streaming on CNN tonight as Rubio potentially makes his last stand on home turf.
This week has been a good one for Trump as he won both Mississippi and Michigan. However, Cruz isn’t going away silently and can swing the race in his favor if he can steal one of the big states like Florida or Ohio.
For Rubio, tonight’s Republican Debate in Miami, Florida could shape next Tuesday’s Republican Primary and either make or break his campaign. A loss in Florida, Rubio’s home state, would all but end his presidential bid that is already on the ropes. A win would give Rubio a jolt of confidence and possibly build a little momentum.
Trump has been calling for Rubio to bow out for several weeks now and those cries will become louder if Trump wins in Florida next week. As it stands, current polling has Trump as the Florida Republican front runner.
John Kasich is literally hanging on by a thread at this point and another fourth place finish would further prove his odds of winning the Republican nomination are sitting at nil.
