Now the Republican candidates will go to Nevada and the Democrats head to SC. Ted Cruz has 11 delegates and Sen.

Cruz said Trump has embraced liberal ideas, including abortion rights and requiring healthcare coverage, as well as liberal politicians, including Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton. “If you look at the precincts, if you look at where we dominated, there’s a lot of evidence we did well with every group of voter”.
Donald Trump has the momentum in the race for the GOP nomination, but to unite the Republican Party he may eventually need to offer the vice presidential spot to Sen.
Trump, a political novice, convincingly won his second straight Republican primary election Saturday, collecting almost a third of the vote in the Atlantic coastal state of SC.
It can all be said in two words: Illegal immigration. A win in some key state.
In his SC victory speech, Trump said, “Let’s put this thing away”.
And he predicted he’d earn a “tremendous amount” of support from African-Americans.
Kasich accomplished his primary goal, Weaver said, when Bush ended his campaign, leaving Kasich as the only governor left in the race.
He also clarified a comment he made last week that seemed to suggest he supported an individual mandate for health insurance.
Cruz said he expected more scrutiny from the Trump and Rubio campaigns as the race becomes a battle between them. Under most state party rules, delegates are only required to vote for their candidate on the first ballot at the convention. “I think it’s highly highly unlikely”.
“The sooner we coalesce, the better we can do as a party”, he said.
SC had only six candidates standing from the original 17, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush announced his own departure from the race after finishing out of the top three in the Palmetto State. The Republican donor class is already begrudgingly accepting the reality of Rubio as their only chance at deflating the Trump juggernaut.
Apparently, the main reason why they might decide upon Marco Rubio is because they want to stop Donald Trump from winning the nomination. The New York businessman had predicted he would “run the table” after a victory in SC. Cruz argued that when he had endorsements from evangelical leaders in Iowa, he was able to beat Trump, not place second.

She told CNN’s State of the Union that voters have an “underlying question…is she in it for us or is she in it for herself?” A strong performance here will help Clinton to build a firewall against Sanders going into Super Tuesday. “It’s going to happen one way or another”.
