Donald Trump just keeps winning: (Too Long, Didn’t Read)
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump scored his third-consecutive victory of the election season by winning the Nevada Republican caucuses on Tuesday. “And soon the country is going to start winning, winning winning”.
Rubio captured second place with fewer than 2,000 more votes than Cruz as final vote totals were reported Wednesday morning.
Sanders accused Republicans, including GOP front-runner Donald Trump, of leading a racist effort to try to de-legitimize the nation’s first black president by questioning Barack Obama’s birthplace. The conservative firebrand is probably not going to drop out due to the fact that he’s still got money in the war chest, but Trump is probably going to take the voters Cruz needs to pull away on Super Tuesday-and states that have substantial evangelical and conservative voters dips after March 1.
“We’re winning, winning, winning the country”, Trump declared Tuesday. “These guys have to figure out how to turn their fire on Trump”, said Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist.

It was Cruz for Megan Ortega, who declared: “He’s consistent, he’s bold and he’s a class act”. These voters chose Sanders by a stunning margin of 92 percent to 6 percent, helping put him over the top in the Granite State.
“One enduring and incredibly large pattern that has been occurring over the last 30, 40 years has been the eroding trust that Americans have in their political institutions”, Covington told AFP.
Trump – no surprise here – was supported by almost 9 in 10 of the “tell it like it is” voters.
As Saturday’s primary in SC proved, that won’t be former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who bowed out of the race.
Mr Trump chalked up his third clear and consecutive primary victory on Tuesday at the Nevada caucuses, where among the voters was Las Vegas casino mogul and erstwhile Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson.
“What I’m seeing on the ground here from the Sanders camp reminds me of what Obama did in ’08”, Dick Harpootlian, a former state Democratic Party chair who has endorsed Sanders, said on Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect.
