Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reacts to supporters as she arrives to address supporters at her Super Tuesday election night rally in Miami, Tuesday, March 1, 2016. They are using “Republican-speak” to beat down Bernie Sanders as favoring Big Government and more taxes and they may unwittingly be setting the stage for a serious split in the Democratic Party.

In the Democratic race, Clinton has faced a tougher-than-expected challenge from Sanders, who has energized supporters with his calls for a “political revolution” and denunciations of America’s wealth gap.
According to a VPR poll conducted last month, Trump enjoyed support from about a third of Vermont’s likely GOP primary voters. Morse said given the passion of both candidates’ supporters he was not surprised at the outcome. If you’re voting on the Democratic side are you going for Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton? Sanders won Vermont’s lone congressional seat in 1990 and was elected to the Senate in 2006. The Green Mountain State can only offer up to 16 Republican National Convention delegates to a GOP victor here, by far the smallest Super Tuesday reward for Republicans from any content, save for American Samoa’s.
What many defenders of Sanders say about him is that you won’t find statements from him in the 1990s about “superpredators” around issues of justice reform, but rather a discussion around how poverty and crime are connected. States hosting Democratic contests Tuesday night did not set any records.
With 865 delegates at stake, Clinton is assured of gaining at least 508 for Super Tuesday, having won seven states and the American Samoa. That should give Clinton 61 more delegates while Sanders takes 32. Cruz collected at least 144 delegates and Rubio picked up at least 71. A Democrat must secure 2,383 delegates to clinch the nomination.
“We have a long, long march to the Democratic [National] Convention in July in Philadelphia”, he said. Super Tuesday is giving Black voters a tough choice. “In order to catch up, Sen”.
Bernie needs to win 117 more of them, to reach 130.
The Peach State had the next-largest number of delegates up for grabs, and Trump got an important – and impressive – victory here, too.
Sanders visited Minnesota three times in the last week. By sending emails on sensitive matters through these servers, Hillary Clinton potentially allowed such donors – through Clinton Foundation staff – access to top secret United States policy positions, a factor that would have gladdened them sufficiently to make even more generous donations to the Foundation than they have. She rode her support among African-American voters on a Southern sweep through Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, and added MA, a state Sanders had hoped to win.
But there is a historical precedent for Clinton’s argument: In 2008, then Illinois Sen.
Super Tuesday was a big night for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. When an Iowa college student asked her in January why so many other youths found her dishonest, Clinton blamed decades of Republican attacks. Sanders was an associate member of the Congressional Black Caucus (when they had associate memberships) in the 1990s yet has only recently offered a bill on ending federal funding of private prisons and signed on to a racial profiling bill authored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) that has been around for years.
Including superdelegates, Clinton has a 1,052 to 427 lead over Sanders. Like many younger voters he’s especially alarmed by income inequality, the issue that Sanders has made a centerpiece of his campaign. Campaign manager Jeff Weaver said the campaign would point to the plight of middle-class workers and “job-crushing trade deals that Secretary Clinton has consistently supported over the years”.

Beyond the candidate, however, money is a necessity in propelling the campaign on to the next states and the Sanders’ team took the time to boast about their fundraising success.
