		</div><p>Donald Trump&#8217;s rivals for the Republican presidential nomination all say they will back him if he wins the race.</p>
<p>Their pledges, in the latest TV debate, came after a series of senior Republicans attacked Mr Trump, the current frontrunner, including the party&#8217;s two most recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain.</p>
<p>Mr Romney, the 2012 nominee, made a rare public appearance to denounce Mr Trump as &#8220;a phoney&#8221; who is &#8220;playing the American public for suckers&#8221;.</p>
<p>It highlighted the unprecedented way the party&#8217;s most prominent leaders are feuding, as panicking Republican officials realise there is little they can do stop Mr Trump&#8217;s march towards the presidential nomination.<br />

<p>The debate in Detroit was the first since the tycoon&#8217;s Super Tuesday success, and saw more personal attacks than previous ones.</p>
<p>But senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and Ohio governor John Kasich, all said they will support Mr Trump if he wins the Republican nomination.</p>
<p>Mr Rubio said that he is committed to his party and therefore would support the nominee.<br />
Mr Cruz said he would prefer Mr Trump to either of the Democratic contenders, Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, describing the latter as a &#8220;socialist&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Kasich was the most hesitant, but ultimately said that while &#8220;sometimes (Trump) makes it a little bit hard,&#8221; he would support him if he is the nominee.</p>
<p>Mr Trump was also asked if he would support someone other than himself, and hesitated briefly, but said that he would back whoever the Republican nominee is.</p>
<p>However there was less unity during the raucous debate, with Mr Rubio saying the billionaire businessman had &#8220;basically mocked everyone&#8221; and criticising his businesses for making clothes in China and Mexico, rather than the US.</p>
<p>Mr Cruz, from Texas, said Mr Trump was part of the problem, not the solution, as he had used government power for private gain.</p>
<p>He said for 40 years the tycoon had been &#8220;part of the corruption in Washington&#8221; that people were angry about, citing Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign contributions to leading Democrats, including Hillary Clinton when she was a senator.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve supported Democrats and I&#8217;ve supported Republicans, and as a businessman I owed that to my company, to my family, to my workers, to everybody to get along.&#8221;</p>
<p>He responded to Mr Rubio&#8217;s comments by retorting: &#8220;This little guy has lied so much about my record.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pressed on when he would start making more clothes in the US, he said that would happen when currency valuations were not biased against manufacturing garments in America.</p>
<p>Mr Trump then noted that Mr Rubio had mocked his hands as small, widely viewed as an insult about the tycoon&#8217;s sexual prowess, and, holding his hands up to the audience, he declared: &#8220;I guarantee you, there&#8217;s no problem.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier the tycoon had hit back at Mr Romney, dismissing him as a &#8220;failed candidate&#8221; and an &#8220;embarrassment&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said: &#8220;Obviously, he wants to be relevant, he wants to be back in the game.&#8221;</p>
