Democrat Hillary Clinton needed a victory in Nevada’s caucuses after the drubbing Bernie Sanders handed her in New Hampshire – and she got one.
Jeb Bush will not follow his father and brother to the White House after he quit his campaign for the Republican nomination following a fourth place finish in the SC primary.
To be sure, Trump appears to be in a good position.
“It’s tough, it’s nasty, it’s mean, it’s vicious, it’s handsome. It’s lovely. When you win, it’s handsome”, he told his cheering supporters.
Calling Saturday “the beginning of the real Republican primary”, Rubio added, “We went through the semifinals and quarterfinals and I think you’re down to a core of three candidates running full-scale national campaigns”.
“I don’t think I’m being treated fairly by the RNC”, Trump said Sunday on “This Week” following his double-digit win in SC over Florida Sen.
In his wake, Cruz and Florida Sen. If someone is going to beat Trump, Rubio probably has the best shot, but the hour is growing late for all of the non-Trump candidates. Having proven his mettle in South Carolina, Trump emerged well-primed for more winning as the primary heads toward a cluster of Southern states.
The 2016 election has shown voters’ anger with the political establishment and the influence of big money. Marco Rubio. He won among voters earning more than $100,000; voters who live in large cities; those with college degrees; and those younger than 44.
Terrorism and the direction of the economy were among the top issues for GOP voters, according to exit polls.
Though Trump’s victory was vindication for political mavericks whose hunger for an outsider has defined this year’s campaign, those fortunes didn’t extend to Sanders.
She said Americans are “right to be angry”, but are also hungry for “real solutions”. He acknowledged that while he has made gains on Clinton, “at the end of the day … you need delegates”. There can be no doubt now: Donald Trump is the favourite to be the Republican nominee for president.
No candidate has shaken the establishment more than Trump. He spent the week threatening one rival with a lawsuit, accusing former president George W Bush of lying and even rowing with Pope Francis on immigration. His son George W Bush was elected as the two-term 43rd president of the United States from 2001 to 2009. That left Republicans cautiously optimistic last week that a “kinder, gentler” Wolf might now emerge as a month of budget hearings gets underway this week.
A staggering 73 percent of voters agreed with his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from coming into the United States, and he won that group handily. “Who do they not want to run against?”
