“We are not giving back an important naval base to an anti-American, Communist dictatorship,”Rubio said”.

“I don’t think Donald Trump is staying awake at night worrying about Donnie Wahlberg’s endorsement”, Pitney said.
Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have their work cut out for them.
Marco Rubio, R-Fla, who had 15 percent. But Rubio, who campaigned in SC alongside the state’s GOP Gov. Nikki Haley, has continued to capitalize on the momentum from his second-place finish.
Nevada’s caucusing played out in schools, community centers and places of worship across the state – a process that’s been chaotic in the past.
Those on the ground say candidates who have dropped out of the race for their party’s presidential nomination are still listed on some ballots, some sites are running out of ballots, and some people are being kept waiting in long lines.
About a quarter said they wanted a candidate who could bring change. Mr Cruz won the lead-off Iowa caucuses.
Republican presidential candidate, Sen.
In what is already a freaky race, the Republican presidential primary took another odd twist last week. Many analysts attribute that to hardline Republican positions on immigration.
He also said that while donors to Jeb Bush’s campaign, which was suspended Saturday after a disappointing finish in SC, are largely flowing to Rubio, Rubio also needs to have John Kasich get out of the race. More than two-thirds of their voters said they were “extremely certain” about their choice of candidates, compared with 41 percent for Rubio, 29 percent for Carson, 27 percent for Kasich and 22 percent for Bush.
And while Cruz’s ads use Trump’s own words against him, Trump has accused him of playing dirty.
Donald Trump won in nearly every demographic polled Tuesday night, but performed especially strong with those who said they wanted someone “outside the establishment”, winning 70% support there.
Mr Cruz said there were only three viable Republican candidates left, and “at this point here in Nevada, it’s all about turnout”.
“Believe it or not, we still have more family in southern Nevada than in South Florida”, Rubio recently told a crowd of supporters. Even though she expects Bush to endorse Rubio, she isn’t sure that will affect most voters’ decision-making.
Though Nevada has relatively few delegates, it will be seen as a test on how the Latino vote is spread amid Mr Trump’s staunchly anti-immigrant campaign.
Rubio is blessed by the fact that Cruz will remain in the race, thus splitting the anti-establishment vote between Trump and Cruz.
But a majority of those deciding before the last week supported Mr Trump and they accounted for about seven in 10 caucus attendees.
The preliminary results include interviews with 1,545 Republican caucus-goers and have a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Numerous early polls have Trump far ahead of his rivals Sens.
It doesn’t hurt Trump that his name hovers above the Las Vegas Strip, emblazoned atop his hotel. While proportional contests give Trump’s weaker rivals a chance to accumulate delegates, proportional contests also make it hard to catch up if one candidate runs up a significant lead.
He told supporters he would keep open the jail for terror suspects President Obama is working to close, saying: “We’re going to load it up with a lot of bad dudes out there”.
“Now we’re going to get greedy for the United States”, Mr Trump said.
