Gov. Baker ‘Surprised’ By Christie’s Endorsement Of Trump

Either who you want as the Democratic candidate for president or who you want as the Republican candidate.

The states holding both Democratic and Republican primaries on Tuesday will be Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

Clinton re-tweeted Sanders’ message. To date, he has not won a single state and if that’s true after Tuesday, it’s going to be awfully hard to justify.

As accusations of dishonesty have flown between Trump, Cruz and Rubio, voters say they are more apt to see Trump as honest and trustworthy. “You can’t trust them”.

Trump holds commanding leads across the South, with the exception of Cruz’s home state of Texas, a dynamic that puts tremendous pressure on Rubio and Cruz as they try to outlast each other. “But that Republican nominee is going to be Ted Cruz”. Rubio is desperate to at last secure an elusive win, somewhere, anywhere.

The Duke debate seeped into the Democratic contest, as Vermont Sen. On the Democratic side, we’re one of eleven. For the Democrats, there are more than 1,000 delegates at stake including the so-called superdelegates – leaders in the Democratic National Committee, elected officials and other high-ranking members of the party who can support whomever they choose, unlike pledged delegates awarded in primaries and caucuses.

As the spotlight turns to 12 states and one territory on March 1, Super Tuesday marks the start of the major nomination numbers game, as delegate counts and winner-take-all states suddenly become hot statistical commodities throughout the month of March.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, also a long shot on Super Tuesday, repeated his vow not to exit the race anytime soon. It has finally dawned on rival campaigns and party establishment figures that far from fading as many predicted, Trump – after his three thumping wins in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada – will clinch the nomination unless there is a dramatic twist in the race.

And it played into former candidate Chris Christie’s endorsement of the erstwhile reality star he had once billed as unfit for the presidency.

If they win big, it could spell doom for their challengers.

Mitt Romney, the party’s 2012 nominee, called that “disqualifying” and SC governor Nikki Haley said she would “not stop fighting a man who refuses to disavow the KKK”.

His rivals are already bracing for a tough night. “Some states like MA we are not confident that we can win”.

Cruz received help from two Texas Governors.

“There is no doubt that, if Donald steamrolls through Super Tuesday, wins everywhere with big margins, that he may well be unstoppable”.

Here is a live-blog of the latest news in the run-up to Super Tuesday.

Trump is widely viewed as the candidate in the field who would be most effective at solving the country’s problems, 51 percent vs. 17 percent for Cruz, 13 percent for Rubio and 10 percent for Carson, and as being best able to handle the responsibilities of being commander-in-chief, 48 percent say so, compared with 17 percent for Cruz and 15 percent for Rubio.
