Cruz: I’m the only one who has beaten Trump

In her victory speech, Clinton appeared to fault Sanders for always sticking exclusively to the issue of economic inequality.

He tells ABC’s “This Week” that “we will be prepared if that happens, but again I don’t think that’s going to be the case”.

“The people of Iowa, New Hampshire and SC have spoken, and I really respect their decision”, an emotional Bush said in Columbia. “And I’m going to demonstrate that I’ve always been the same person, I’ve always been fighting for the same values, fighting to make a difference in people’s lives, long before I was in elected office, even before my husband was in the presidency”. “African-Americans in their prime are substantially worse off than the whites in their prime, and it’s a very sad situation”, he said.

“Until one of those guys gives way, Trump may just continue winning”, he said.

Kasich also discussed Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim immigrants to the United States, which garners support from a majority of GOP primary voters in SC. “Hillary won’t make it. Frankly, if she gets indicted, that’s the only way she is going to be stopped”, he said. “I think the race last night was reset”.

Trump’s comments came the morning after he cruised to victory in South Carolina’s primary – giving him two wins and one second-place finish in the first three GOP contests. And yes, Bernie Sanders’s record is awful, even allowing for his vote against the Iraq war resolution. But remember, he’s not a friend to Nevada, nor does he hold our interests dear: If he wins, the likelihood of our state becoming the nation’s dumping ground for poisonous nuclear waste will grow exponentially. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as he speaks at his South Carolina Republican presidential primary rally in… Fiorentino said Sunday that he would now back Florida’s U.S. Sen.

He also clarified a comment he made last week that seemed to suggest he supported an individual mandate for health insurance.

On Sunday, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, the former Republican Party of Florida chairman who had yet to pick a presidential candidate, also backed Rubio.

‘Oh, I liked that much better, ‘ Trump said.

About 48 percent of South Carolina’s Republican voters say the next president should have experience in politics and 48 percent say the next president should be from outside the political establishment.

The robustness of Trump’s field operation as outlined in the January fundraising reports looks more like that of Democrats Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton than any of his four Republican competitors. I don’t want to run as an independent. “I think everyone now acknowledges that’s me”, he said. It began with an aura of inevitability that masked deep problems, from Mr. Bush himself, a clunky candidate in a field of gifted performers, to the rightward drift of the Republican Party since Mr. Bush’s time as a consensus conservative in Florida.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says that his third place finish in SC is effectively a tie for second place with Marco Rubio.

Mr Trump and Mr Cruz, who won the Iowa caucuses, ducked it out in the week leading up to Saturday’s primary, with the campaign growing increasingly nasty. Instead, they’ve got to worry that Trump will keep beating Cruz among evangelicals, as he did in SC.

A string of victories for Clinton and Trump in those Super Tuesday contests would give them commanding leads in the delegate race, dampening prospects for their rivals to catch up. But with roughly 70 per cent of Republicans in national polls declining to back Trump, Cruz and Rubio tried to cast themselves as the one candidate around whom what Rubio calls the “alternative-to-Donald-Trump vote” can coalesce. But in sign of Clinton’s continuing vulnerability, Sanders did best with voters seeking someone caring and honest. It has a mixture of conservative and evangelical voters, particularly in the northwest of the state, and an influential bloc of retired military veterans who hanker for a tough message on national security, with more moderate Republicans on the Atlantic coast where cities have swelled with migrants from northern states.
