Instead, she’s focusing more on her potential general election opponents, asking Democratic primary voters for their help combating Republican economic policies.

For Republicans, the second-biggest prize is Georgia, with 76 delegates at stake.
Bentley said Trump’s rival Ohio Gov. John Kasich was “really the only grown-up in the room”, but that at the end of the day he will back whoever is the final GOP nominee.
On the Republican side, the Republican establishment is working overtime to try to counter the momentum of NY billionaire Donald Trump, who has become the Republican front-runner after taking the primary in SC this past week.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have campaigned heavily ahead of the crucial Super Tuesday contests, which could see the two front runner candidates take unassailable leads over their White House rivals. These delegates will be distributed proportionally, but Clinton’s leads are so large, it could still represent a very large advantage over Sanders. According to CBSNews the Republicans have an opportunity to win about half of the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination. We want to win states on Tuesday.
On Super Tuesday, Clinton and Sanders will compete for 1004 delegates. And you know what they say about men with small hands? More than 800 delegates will be up for grabs for the Democats, out of the 2,383 need for nomination. “That Sanders couldn’t break through with black voters in either Nevada or SC, despite a heavy investment, makes it hard to believe he will have any more success in these six states, where his campaign hasn’t put in the same effort”. His strategy appears to be to at least survive Tuesday, with hopes of a resurgence later this month in ME and Rust Belt states like MI and Ohio.
TWELVE states and one USA territory will head to the polls on Tuesday, marking the biggest single day of voting during the primary election cycle.
Majorities of Republican voters agree that each of their party’s other candidates is honest and trustworthy, though the percentages vary greatly.
Sen. Ted Cruz speculates the “bombshell” in Donald Trump’s tax returns Mitt Romney claimed last week may show “business dealings with the mob”. Marco Rubio with 19 percent. Rough 53 percent of the GOP’s 595 delegates on Tuesday are in those states.

Cruz joined in on the attacks, blasting Trump for his historical support of Planned Parenthood and late-term abortion rights, his promise to “stay neutral between Israel and the Palestinians”, and his “longtime support of expanding Obamacare into Bernie Sanders-style socialized medicine, putting the government in charge of your health care, putting government bureaucrats into a position to ration your care, especially that of seniors”.
