Trump</strong> to amass a plurality of the 595 delegates available, and to put that much more distance between him and <strong>Senators Ted Cruz of Texas </strong>and <strong>Marco Rubio of Florida</strong>. Mr. Cruz is fighting to win his home state of Texas, which votes on Tuesday, while Mr. Rubio is looking to increase his vote totals in congressional districts and to bolster his delegate count. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding:0px 0 16px" class="layout-300 large-summary-first"> But it also appears that those in the Republican Party who do not back Mr. Trump are realizing that he could be their problem through the fall. And in the last two days, Mr. Trump has given his opponents a lot of ammunition — by initially refusing to disavow support from the former Ku Klux Klan leader <strong>David Duke</strong>, who has praised Mr. Trump’s ascent in the primaries, and by retweeting a famous quote from <strong>Mussolini</strong>. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding:0px 0 16px" class="layout-300 large-summary-first"> Mr. Trump has proved Teflon-like in the campaign so far. But he is now facing the first sustained attacks in the form of television advertisements, and he is doing little to counter them with his own spending. And Mr. Rubio and Mr. Cruz are unloading their opposition research files, including mentions that Mr. Trump avoided the military draft as a younger man and that some news accounts have claimed his businesses had reported ties to organized crime. But the biggest charge that Mr. Rubio hopes will stick is the one in which he has called Mr. Trump a “con man” over and over. With lesser schoolyard taunts, like discussing the size of Mr. Trump’s fingers, he is trying to get in the real estate billionaire’s head. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding:0px 0 16px" class="layout-300 large-summary-first"> As for the Democrats, Mr. Sanders is looking to rebound after a deeply lopsided loss to <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> in the South Carolina primary, where more than half the voters were African-American. Mrs. Clinton overwhelmingly won black voters. And while it is hard to translate the results from one state to others, Mr. Sanders had a number of paid staff members in South Carolina and worked hard — raising questions about where he will next find success. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="layout-300 te-600" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000001; line-height: 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="outer-layout column-padding te-600" style="margin:0 10px; padding: 0;"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" width="600" class="layout-300 column-mid-padding-top" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: bold; padding: 15px 0;"> <h6 class="mediumgrid-large-collection-header" style="color: #000; margin: 0; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif !important; font-size: 20px; line-height: 24px; font-weight: bold !important;">What We’re Watching Today</h6> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding: 0; background-color: #fff;" class="layout-300 te-600"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="600" style="margin: 0; padding:18px 0 0px; color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif;" class="layout-300 large-summary-first"> <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding: 0; background-color: #fff; color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif;" class="layout-300 te-600"> <tbody> <tr class="layout-300 large-summary-first" style="color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif;"> <td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding:0px 0px 16px; color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif; margin: 0;"> • </td> <td style="text-align: left; padding:0px 0px 16px 10px; margin: 0; color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif;"> <span style="color:#333; font-weight:normal; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; font-family: georgia, Times New Roman, sans-serif;"> On the day before 11 states participate in Super Tuesday, where are the candidates choosing to make their final appeals?
