They should have stood up for the change Donald Trump is bringing now but they didn’t.

In addition to Texas, Clinton also won Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia and MA.
S. SANDERS: With $42 million raised just last month, Sanders should be able to keep going for a while. But if voters are given the choice between two big-government New Yorkers who have track records of not telling the truth, a lot of them will probably cast ballots for the woman who told supporters at a Super Tuesday rally in Miami (a swing state city), “Instead of building walls, we’re going to break down barriers and build ladders of opportunity and empowerment”.
Senator Ted Cruz took his home state of Texas, neighbouring Oklahoma and Alaska. Trump picked up the second-largest number of delegates in the Lone Star State, after Cruz.
“He is a lightweight as I’ve said many times before”.
Even Kasich predicts Trump is likely to win all the Republican contests on Tuesday. Marco Rubio of Florida trails with 106.
Rubio, especially after notching his first win in Minnesota, made it clear he wasn’t going any place.
The Texas senator delivered his pitch before word came through that Florida Senator Marco Rubio had won Minnesota’s Republican primary.
Donald Trump won seven more states on Super Tuesday, making it anything but Super for Republican rivals.
Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist who wants a “political revolution”, gave Clinton a tougher-than-expected challenge.
“I can’t believe I would say yes, but yes”, Graham said, adding that Trump would be beat “like a drum” in a general election match-up with Hillary Clinton.
Among Democrats, young people supported Bernie Sanders over Clinton to varying degrees.
This could all change on March 15 in the Florida primary – his home state – where the victor will claim all the delegates. According to the Associated Press, Trump has 285 delegates, followed by Cruz (161), Rubio (87), John Kasich (25) and Ben Carson (8).
But he’s still a way behind his Democratic rival, as Clinton holds at least 1,005 delegates compared with his 373. Because if nobody has the necessary 1,237 delegates by the Republican National Convention in July, it could become a “brokered” convention in which anyone could end up the nominee.

Along with the super-delegates who have endorsed her candidacy, Clinton has more than 900 delegates, well on her way to the 2,383 she needs to win the nomination.
