Republicans gather for high-stakes debate before Super Tuesday.

Five Republican presidential candidates will gather here Thursday night for a final showdown before Super Tuesday.

Four of them have a shared goal on the CNN debate stage: stop the man behind the center podium.

Donald Trump heads into the March 1 contests with remarkable momentum, after consecutive victories in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. The two men who will flank him on the stage -- Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio -- so far have been unable to step out of Trump's shadow.

With hundreds of delegates up for grabs, next Tuesday has the potential to make Trump's candidacy a runaway train.

"It's going to be an amazing two months. We might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest," Trump told supporters at his Nevada victory party this week.

With so much riding on that day, Thursday's CNN debate, moderated by Wolf Blitzer, is likely to be a heated affair. The drama began hours before candidates took to the stage as Trump sparred with Mitt Romney, the GOP's 2012 presidential nominee, over tax returns.

Rubio, under pressure to show that he can take Trump on, offered a preview of his line of attack during an event here.
