Donald Trump says that Marco Rubio should pull out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination should he have a poor showing on Super Tuesday.
“I think he has to get out,” Trump says in a phone interview with Fox News. “You know, he hasn’t won anything, and Ted Cruz very rightly points out, you know, Marco has not won.”

Trump is leading in polls in at least eight of the 11 Super Tuesday states.
A new CNN/ORC poll shows the billionaire expanding his lead nationally, earning a stunning 49 percent of support compared to second-place Rubio, at 16%.
Cruz of Texas is third, at 15 percent, followed by retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 10 percent and Ohio Governor John Kasich at six percent.
