All the oxygen in the room seemed to be sucked up by brazen part-time Palm Beacher Donald Trump, who won the GOP primary in SC on Saturday evening. The Florida senator’s campaign slammed Cruz after they photoshopped a photo of Rubio and Obama shaking hands.

Despite losing to Clinton, 52 percent to 47 percent, on Saturday, Sanders outpaced Clinton among Latino and young voters in Nevada, something he might be able to replicate in liberal states with similar demographics such as Michigan, Minnesota and Colorado – not to mention MA – all of which vote in the Super Tuesday primaries on March 1.
This isn’t the first time Trump has raised citizenship doubts about an opponent.
As the focus turns to the bigger winner-take-all states, the primaries have become Clinton’s to win and and Trump’s to lose.
Bush went on to finish sixth in the Iowa caucuses, but barely squeezed ahead of Rubio in New Hampshire for a fourth place finish.
In the desert state of Nevada, the 68-year-old Clinton scored a major win, but Sanders proved he was in it for the long haul. And we’re getting closer to that point. “We’ve made some real progress”, he told supporters.
“Our path to victory from the beginning was always do well in the first four states, and then have a strong, strong night on Super Tuesday coming up on March 1st”, Cruz said.
“I walk in and it’s dead silence except for my wife and kids, and these guys walk in and they say something that is stupid and not even good, and they get standing ovations when they open their mouths”.
Commenting on their victories, the conservative billionaire who now leads the Republican campaign for the White House said that a Clinton-Trump contest would bring out “the greatest turnout in history”.
‘So as that five or seven people continues to narrow down, I think it’s going make the race clearer and clearer, ‘ Rubio said.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush announced Saturday that he is ending his presidential campaign, news that comes immediately after his less than stellar showing in the SC primary.
Whoever draws votes from whom, the remaining Republican face figures to be as intense as the contest in SC. It raises questions about whether the Texan can win anywhere beyond his home state.
Mr Rubio also accused Mr Trump of a lack of specifics on policy.
Mr Cruz, who has run as a political outsider, harked back to his win in the lead-off Iowa caucuses as a sign he was best positioned to take down Mr Trump.
Trump appeared a man in his element in command of a bellicose race he has helped to create and dominate.

“There’s nothing easy about running for president”, Trump said at his victory rally. It’s tough, it’s nasty, it’s mean, it’s vicious, it’s lovely.
