Hillary Clinton Beats Bernie Sanders In Virginia Primary

Democrat Hillary Clinton has the power to defeat Republican Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama is convincing voters that Trump is unqulified to serve as president.

Clinton’s only opponent, Bernie Sanders, also won Oklahoma, as well as his home state of Vermont.

Mrs Clinton – who won three of the first four Democratic contests this year – has been leading Mr Sanders with 548 delegates to his 87.

Here are the other states holding primaries on Super Tuesday: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Cruz once saw the Southern states that vote Tuesday as his opportunity to stake his claim to the nomination, given their large evangelical Christian populations, only to see Trump pick up a sizable segment of evangelicals.

Trump’s challengers do have one piece of mathematics working in their favor: delegates from Tuesday’s balloting will be divided proportionally, meaning Trump isn’t likely to completely run the tables.

“Let me make it perfectly clear: Senate Republicans condemn David Duke, the KKK, and his racism”, added Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

Republicans spent months largely letting Trump go unchallenged, wrongly assuming that his populist appeal with voters would fizzle.

Out of 1,500 votes, Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders took 34 percent, Clinton took 26 percent and Trump carried 23 percent.

Tuesday marked the busiest day of the 2016 primaries, with the biggest single-day delegate haul up for grabs.

Rubio won dozens of delegates along with the Minnesota victory, but he was struggling to meet the threshold in a few key states.

For Marco Rubio, who is also seeking to emerge as the main alternative to Trump, the night was turning into a disappointment.

He said that given Democratic primary rules, which provide for proportional allocation of delegates rather than winner-take-all, “by the end of tonight, we are going to win many hundreds of delegates”. Instead, he’s appeared to only grow stronger, winning states and drawing broad support for some of his most controversial proposals. He also captured his home state of Vermont. But he faces tough questions about whether he can rally minorities who are core Democratic voters.

More voters, however, said they were simply “dissatisfied” with the federal government.
