He ando Senator Ted Cruz, took the stage on Tuesday after winning the race for the Republican nomination in his home state of Texas, made a call for the party to rally behind his presidential candidacy.
That seems a very remote possibility.
GOP leaders departed from Super Tuesday - most important day of the presidential campaign of 2016 state-by-state nominating contests for election Nov. 8 - no clear consensus on how to slow the progress of the main candidate Donald Trump for nomination.
They fear rhetoric Trump division - which includes calls to build a wall along the US border with Mexico, deport 11 million illegal immigrants and a bar temporarily Muslims entering the country - the party's image is tarnished and guarantee Democrats hold on to the White House and possibly retake the Senate.
The billionaire businessman won the most Super Tuesday contests, taking seven states, but did not reach the 10 states some polls had predicted. Cruz won two, and US Senator Marco Rubio of Florida won its first victory in Minnesota.
That made Cruz and Rubio unlikely to withdraw from the race before the next big contest nomination in two weeks. The same goes for Ohio Governor John Kasich, who has said he will continue his candidacy through its state primary on March 15.
"While the country remains divided, the way Donald Trump for nomination still more likely, and that would be a disaster for Republicans, conservatives and the nation," Cruz said.
The fact that Trump to win a clean sweep of Tuesday's primaries purchase the establishment of time from wing to intensify their counterattacks against real estate mogul New York and politically independent. While they have yet to coalesce around a single strategy, anti-Trump Republicans have begun to take action.
Club for Growth, a group of conservative defense, Trump slowdown was attributed in some primary states by running attack ads.
"Donald Trump can be stopped," said the group's president, David McIntosh, said in a statement. "And it has to be, before conservatives costs the White House, the Senate and the Supreme Court."
Unpleasantness, but there is no consensus
The New York Times reported that several donors Republican Party organized a phone call on Tuesday to get funding for an anti-Trump effort. Helping lead the call was the hedge fund manager Paul Singer, Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts, and Meg Whitman, CEO of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. The newspaper said it was unclear what kind of political offensive could arise from these discussions.
A political action committee recently launched dedicated to the Trump blasting, Our Principles of the PAC, said the gradual increase in fundraising and Trump planned daily attacks before the upcoming primary elections in March.
It said the campaign will focus on the business career of Trump and include a video in which he refused in an interview to repudiate former official of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke. Trump, who later rejected the support of Duke, said he had not heard clearly the interviewer's question.
In Congress, the Republican House of Representatives Paul Ryan, who will chair the convention party's nomination in July, he made it clear he did not approve the rhetoric of Trump in comments that suggested he was not ready to receive Trump in setting times .
