First Read's Morning Clips: Super Tuesday Looms

 
OFF TO THE RACES: Trump ahead in GA, TN; Cruz leading in TX

Our new NBC/WSJ/Marist polls out yesterday showed leads for Trump and Clinton in Tennessee and Georgia, but Ted Cruz still led in his home state of Texas.
 
The Washington Post's big take: "The implosion over Donald Trump's candidacy that Republicans had hoped to avoid arrived so virulently this weekend that many party leaders vowed never to back the billionaire and openly questioned whether the GOP could come together this election year."
 
The Wall Street Journal: "To slow down the New York billionaire, one or two of the three remaining top candidates must abandon their quest. Yet, none seem willing to do so because each sees an advantage in the primary calendar that is tantalizingly close."
 
From the Associated Press: "The final-days sprint to Super Tuesday has erupted into a feud over a white supremacist as Donald Trump's Republican rivals scramble to stop the billionaire businessman from becoming an "unstoppable" force in the 2016 presidential contest."
