Five of yesterday’s voting states are among the bottom 10 on America’s Health Rankings, and many have not expanded Medicaid, according to the report. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) won in Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas primaries.

Black voters powered Clinton to victory in SC last weekend and gave her a huge advantage throughout the South. It’s how she might win against Sanders in 2016.
“Those superdelegates are free to support whoever they want in this process and the last time Hillary Clinton ran in this process, over 120 superdelegates changed their allegiance before the convention”, Devine said.
States in which Clinton is expected to do well-Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia-are worth 571 delegates combined.
“She was very, very wrong and millions of families around this country have been suffering as a result of those disastrous trade agreements”, Sanders said Thursday in Lansing, Michigan, where he was joined by union workers at a news conference.
Along with Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Vermont, Sanders won Colorado on Super Tuesday.
The winning candidate needs 2,383 delegates to secure the nomination and more than a third, or 865, are up for grabs today. That sentiment echoed throughout the Champlain Valley Exposition as applause for their senator exploded on Super Tuesday – after just about every one of his lines. “I think it’s time to start thinking about coming together and unifying and presenting a clear choice”, said Cruz, the only Republican to win a state contest besides Trump to date.
In her victory speech on Super Tuesday, she talked about bringing “more love” to American politics, a message that appears created to resonate with younger voters who may support Sanders, but see his electability as an issue.
With an eye on Florida’s March 15 primary, Rubio vowed to keep up efforts to “unmask the true nature of the front-runner in this race”. From there, they said, they would focus on the industrial Midwest and pick up significant delegate numbers in places such as California and NY. Bernie Sanders picked up a much-needed victory on the Democratic side.
“We knew that when we started this 25 points down that it was going to be a challenge”.
Clinton has at least 1,005 pledged and super delegates, while Sanders has at least 373, but Sanders campaign staffers said they believed he can close the pledged delegate gap with Clinton by June. “The truth is, you will not win the nomination in the Democratic Party unless you consistently win throughout the calendar”. Bernie Sanders felt the love, telling the crowd, “It is good to be home”. The former secretary of state is campaigning as best positioned to carry on the legacy of President Barack Obama, who remains extremely popular with black voters.

Barbie Alsop, who has volunteered at Sanders’ campaign headquarters in Burlington, said she thought the Vermont senator should hang on through the bitter end.
