Clinton Burns Sanders In NV Heads To SC

“So tonight I am suspending my campaign”, said Bush after finishing fourth in the South Carolina Primary.

“But I think that after SC, we have 11 states; we stand a good chance of winning a number of those states”, he said. Mr. Sanders performed well in Iowa and New Hampshire, but is now under pressure to demonstrate that he can attract a broad cross-section of Democrats and remain competitive with Mrs. Clinton.

“We were talking over each other, and it wasn’t Anderson’s fault”, Trump said of CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who was the moderator. Across the state, Clinton’s victory was not as clear-cut.

“Let’s put this thing away”, Trump told cheering supporters in Spartanburg.

“These geniuses”, he said. “They did quite well as I understand it”, said Trump. “You don’t just add them together”. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Only three Republican candidates prior ro Trump have won both the New Hampshire and SC primaries in contested years. “What we learned today is Hillary Clinton’s firewall with Latino voters is a myth”, Arturo Carmona, deputy political director for Bernie 2016, said in a statement.

Clinton seemed to know low-wage casino workers were likely to vote in her favor. Republicans need 1,237 delegates to win the party nomination. That could help extend the Democratic race beyond the cluster of early March contests and into April and May, when a string of contests in whiter and more liberal states could help him.

It was Trump’s second victory in a row, an outcome that frightens establishment Republicans but thrills the “throw-the-bums-out” conservative base of the party that has always been fed up with Washington. “This was a bad day for Sanders”, said David Woodard, a political scientist at Clemson University in SC.

There was little time for celebration for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after shenarrowly defeated Bernie Sanders in the Nevada Caucus Saturday evening.

Clinton and Sanders should have enough money to stay in the race for weeks afterward, but the delegate tally at the end of the month could make the results inevitable.

With 84 percent of the precincts reporting, Clinton has 52.5 percent of the vote, compared to Sen. In Houston, Clinton said she respects Sanders “passion and commitment” but argued that he can’t deliver on his promises of single-payer health care and tuition-free public college.

Lack of support from African-American voters will be a concern for Sanders heading into next Saturday’s SC primary where black voters make a up a large percentage of the Democratic electorate. “Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other”. “This is your campaign”.

The candidate was then presented with a clip of Hillary Clinton’s caucus night victory speech, during which the former secretary of state went after Wall Street saying, “No bank can be too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail!” “We have the momentum”.

Sanders downplayed Clinton’s weekend victory in Nevada, pointing out that the win only resulted in her picking up four additional delegates, out of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination.

However, an exit poll suggested Mr Sanders won 53 per cent of the Hispanic vote.
