Losing Republican hopefuls throw last punches at Trump having fun

Republican presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have unleashed a barrage of attacks on party front-runner Donald Trump in the last debate before next week's pivotal primaries. The Senators sought to blunt Trump's momentum after he won three of the first four contests, BBC reported. Immigration, healthcare and outreach to Latino voters dominated the debate. But like previous occasions, the debate quickly disintegrated into long periods of shouting and personal insults. At long last the Republican candidates have come to the realisation that Donald Trump can actually win this race, but it may be too late. For more than two hours, Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz took turns throwing haymakers at the New Yorker. They attacked him on his business record; they mentioned hypocrisy; they questioned his conservative credentials; and they criticised the lack of detail in his policies and his reliance on bluster. "We're having a lot of fun up here, aren't we?" the front-runner quipped at one point. But the truth is that Trump was on his heels for much of the evening.
