Donald Trump the billionaire businessman won the primary as expected, but the tight battle for the runner-up amongst the GOP went to John Kasich the Governor of Ohio. But the muddled contest for third – U.S. Sen.

“You changed your stance on immigration, because you used to support a path to citizenship”, Rubio said.
Florida, which votes on March 15, could prove decisive.
About 300 crowded into Finn’s Brick Oven and Pizza in Mount Pleasant to see and hear Kasich, with half spilling onto the restaurant’s patio and grass outside.
In his speech, Trump took a harder hit than usual at former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
The final two days on the trail before the New Hampshire primary, Rubio appeared lifeless and demoralized.
Mr Trump, the undisputed frontrunner of the Republican field, now has a double-digit lead in sc and Nevada, according to opinion polls. Tim Scott for Rubio. ABC’s Jon Karl is there for us in Clemson, South Carolina. We’ve been building an organization here.
“I can’t image a scenario where he even makes an attempt to continue through SC”.
Donald Trump’s remaining opponents, a lot of them mainstream Republicans, will likely benefit from their departures, which leave seven Republicans from a field that once had 17 candidates. Trump said on “CBS This Morning” that he and Christie spoke after the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, in which Trump won a big victory. Marco Rubio’s did last Saturday. He had hoped to place second in New Hampshire but finished a disappointing fifth place. He dropped out of the presidential race the day after the New Hampshire Republican primary.
He also alleged that Rubio wasn’t experienced enough to be president. Yes, he’s headed into states where he isn’t polling almost so well, but Camp Clinton is rattled and talking staff shake-ups. You know, they’re reminding me that I’m here because I responded to their imploring me to get involved.
Christie told supporters on Tuesday night he was going to head home and “take a deep breath”, await the final tally of results and decide what to do next.
On Wednesday, Rubio was upbeat on NBC’s “Today” program.
Ultimately, we won’t really know how Iowa voters’ choices fared until both parties’ nominees are decided. “We just showed up on the radar a little too early”. In Republican races, Pat Buchanan squeaked by Bob Dole in 1996, and John McCain rolled over George W. Bush in 2000; among Democrats, the late Paul Tsongas beat Bill Clinton in 1992, and Hillary Clinton edged out Barack Obama in 2008. Check back later for more information.
