“His victories in Kansas (where Rubio had the endorsement of the popular governor) and in ME (not exactly a Bible belt state) show that Cruz has some real strength”.

Trump hopes to regain his momentum after suffering a week of blistering attacks from the party’s establishment and splitting four contests on Saturday with rival Ted Cruz, who positioned himself as the prime alternative to the brash billionaire in the race for the party’s nomination for the November 8 election. Cruz will receive 64 total delegates, while Trump gets 49 delegates, per the Associated Press projections.
Trump ranked below Cruz and Rubio when voters were asked who was most “honest and trustworthy”, who “understands problems”, who has the “right experience” and who has the “right personality”. Romney said: “I don’t think anyone in our party should say, ‘Oh no, even if the people of the party wanted me to be president, I would say no to it'”.
On the Democratic side in OH, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads Sen. He won the Puerto Rico primary on Sunday, his second win of the election season, but it hasn’t done much to boost his standing.
Rubio’s conservative values ring well in the red state of Idaho but the GOP candidate says he is on a mission to stand out from his Republican opponents. “I feel good about our campaign because the voters are sending a clear message”.
“Trump’s history as a con artist is being exposed”, said spokesman Alex Conant. Kasich says a strong showing in MI has the potential to show America and the world “that it’s a new day in this presidential campaign”. The delegates will be allocated proportionately to those candidates who collect at least 20 percent of the vote.
One ironic twist to Saturday’s voting was the backstory to the GOP contest in Kentucky.
But the slow-bleed strategy is risky and hinges on the primaries in Florida, Illinois and OH, it said. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich seem to be moving up in MI, with Marco Rubio steadily slipping into a poor fourth place. When including super delegates – politicians and party leaders who can back any candidate and can change their mind at any time – Clinton leads with 1,129 presumed delegates to Sanders’ 498. The context is winning the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination.

Republicans will vote Tuesday in the Idaho, Michigan and MS primaries and the Hawaii Republican caucuses. Hillary Clinton is getting more than Trump. She has performed better in those demographics since Sanders won in New Hampshire just over a month ago, and MI is a good bellwether for Clinton.
