Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, are in a virtual dead heat in the Bay State heading into so-called “Super Tuesday”, the poll found. The bold move? Openly offering John Kasich “the vice presidential slot in exchange for OH governor’s support”. Now, Rubio and the other candidates are transitioning to running national campaigns as 13 states and territories hold their contests on Super Tuesday.

Donors shift to Rubio: Jeb Bush’s departure from the Republican presidential race appears to be benefiting Marco Rubio, USA Today writes. No matter what happens in Nevada – which he looks likely to win anyway – he will go into Super Tuesday with the most delegates for the Republican convention. According to a Reuters review of campaign finance disclosures, the Republican senator from Florida has raked in more cash from banks and investment firms than any other candidate vying for the White House in 2016. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida locked in a battle for second place.
He said, “I think you can be against something and still say, ‘but I don’t want the federal government involved in federalizing something'”.

“Seventy percent [of GOP voters] does not support [Trump]”, he said, adding that as the GOP field shrinks, “it’ll be easier and easier for this 70 percent to coalesce” around remaining contenders. “No wonder he has lost Evangelical support!”, continued Trump, who has derided Cruz for failing to live up to expectations he would enjoy the solid support of evangelical Christians in SC. He’ll still need to fend off Kasich’s attacks from the center, but for the first time Rubio will be able to focus most of his attention on the fire coming from his right. We have to go lay out our agenda. Cruz, seeking to recover from a disappointing third place in SC, has stressed the fact that he is the one candidate who has prevailed in a contest with Trump with a triumph in the Iowa caucuses. The Cruz campaign’s attempt to dissuade Carson’s Iowa voters from turning out, or to deceive them into believing Carson had in fact dropped out of the race, probably played a major factor in Cruz’s upset of Donald Trump in the state. “And whether it’s here or elsewhere we’re going to start to win states, especially when it’s winner-take-all”. “Then, all of a sudden, they become mortal enemies”. Spitting out the superlatives, he called his sweep of all 50 delegates there “amazing”, “beautiful”, “conclusive” and “very, very decisive”.
