Donald Trump: ‘I love the poorly educated’
On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, Sen.
Billionaire outsider Donald Trump has won the Nevada caucuses, earning his third straight victory in the race to be the Republican nominee in November’s United States presidential election.
Trump won 38 percent of the voters who described themselves as “very conservative”, according to the entrance poll published by CNN. Marco Rubio is emerging from the mud of a multi-candidate brawl to lead the once-dominant, now diminished, mainstream lane of the GOP.
Donald Trump might be the most unfiltered candidate in the history of American presidential politics.
The next test is March 1, Super Tuesday, when more than a dozen states and territories will vote. He won pluralities of conservative voters, moderate voters, and evangelicals.
Earlier, with about 90 per cent of the votes counted, American media had given Trump 46 per cent while Rubio and Cruz trailed by over 20 points in a close race for the second position. But Cruz isn’t going anywhere nor for that matter is Ben Carson or John Kasich both of whom have about as much business in the presidential field as they do on a baseball field.
Mr Trump is poised to win by his biggest level of support yet in the first state to vote in the American west, adding to his resounding victories in New Hampshire in the north east and SC in the south.
Cruz’s campaign has been hurting in recent days as real-estate mogul Donald Trump has continued to build momentum.
Rob Tornoe said: “Donald Trump in his Nevada victory speech: “I love the poorly educated”. Cruz is set to receive the endorsement of Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday. With won with old.
And then he went after a familiar target: Ted Cruz, reiterating his accusation that Cruz is a blatant liar and shouldn’t be eligible to even run for president because he was born in Canada.
Cruz insisted he was the only candidate who could beat Trump and said he was now setting his sight on next Tuesday’s crucial contests.
Trump was also supported by about 6 in 10 of those who said they care most about immigration, and almost half of those who said they care most about the economy.
