Marco Rubio: Donald Trump would be selling watches

Brawling from the beginning, a fiery Marco Rubio went after front-runner Donald Trump in the last Republican presidential debate before the key ‘Super Tuesday’ contest, lashing out at his position on immigration, his privileged background, and his speaking style.

Ted Cruz joined in too, questioning the billionaire businessman’s conservative credentials, as the two senators tag-teamed Mr Trump in a debate that reflected the increasing urgency of their effort to take down the former The Apprentice host before he becomes unstoppable.

The confrontation in Houston, Texas, marked a rare night where bombastic Mr Trump found himself on the defensive.
