Continuing his dream run, Trump, who joined politics only eight months ago, registered impressive wins in the states of Georgia, Virginia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Alabama. In all, 12 states and a territory – including most of the Deep South – held presidential primaries or caucuses or, in the case of Alaska, a “preference poll”. Rubio’s surprise win in Minnesota has given him a bump, but he failed to clear the 20% hurdle in Texas, gaining no delegates.
After getting shellacked by Donald Trump on Super Tuesday with a win in only one state – and let’s be honest, Minnesota is just barely a state – Senator Sen.
Cruz used his victory speech in Texas to urge the rest of the GOP field to exit the race and allow him to challenge Trump one-on-one, saying it is the only way to defeat the real-estate mogul.
Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse Unruh Institute of Politics at USC, said Cruz’s wins on Super Tuesday made things hard for the movement to stop Trump, which had been spearheaded by Rubio backers.
Mrs Clinton has now won at least 421 of the 865 delegates at stake on Super Tuesday, and Mr Sanders at least 232. Winning those states could boost Trump to a commanding lead in the delegate count, but Florida is Rubio’s home state and OH is home for John Kasich, the state’s governor. And Rep. Joann Ginal said she hadn’t yet chosen who to endorse, but added, “Stay tuned!” Mr Trump was defeated by Ted Cruz in Texas and Oklahoma.
Percentage of Clinton voters on Tuesday who want to continue President Barack Obama’s policies rather than a more liberal shift.
Notice that both Cruz and Rubio are above 20%.
No matter how well he does on Tuesday, Trump won’t yet have enough votes to clinch the Republican nomination.
“Once we get this finished, I’m going to go after one person”, he said. Ted Cruz were vying for second place in the primaries and caucuses.
“For any candidate that wakes up tomorrow morning who hasn’t won any states…” (The GOP) has become more dynamic. On the Republican side, 14 states will be holding their primary or caucus. I don’t see it, because there have been a number of states that were supposed to be favorable to someone other than Mr. Trump (cough cough SC cough cough) and yet Mr. Trump won.

Schnur said there is a flaw in the strategy of having all the candidates remain in the race to slow Trump’s march to the needed 1,237 delegate total to secure the nomination.
