Nevada GOP Caucus Results: Donald Trump Still Hot

Donald Trump swept to victory Tuesday in Nevada’s Republican caucuses, a third consecutive win that he said would likely propel him to the Republican presidential nomination.

Cruz said that the goal of the first four nominating contests is to winnow down the field, and though Trump has won three of the four primaries and caucuses, he won the fourth.

Almost six in 10 GOP caucus-goers (58 percent) say they are angry at the federal government, according to the NBC News Entrance Poll.

Now the race moves on to “Super Tuesday” on March 1, when 12 states, led by Texas, Alabama and Tennessee, will weigh in on the Republican nominee. But many of his views – regarding women’s rights, LGBT equality and the official use of torture, for examples – are as reactionary as Donald Trump’s. The Cook Political Report explained that 35% of support could be enough to win the nomination over a five-person race, but given the three-way race emerging between Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Trump could win the nomination with minority support. Trump, though, won a plurality of Hispanic voters in Nevada, according to CNN.

Hughes later said he is confident now after checking across the state that the Republican National Committee is chasing down the problems that have occurred – largely due to confusion, complex procedures and a higher than expected turnout. “Now we’re going to get greedy for the United States and grab and grab and grab”, he added.

The older vote has been a little less consistent. The Las Vegas Sun said the process was marked by “disorganization, bickering and bumbling at almost every turn”.

Still, Cruz sports a vast network of grass-roots volunteers in Texas who helped fuel his 2012 campaign for U.S. Senate, and who have been mobilized to bring out the Texas vote for Cruz ahead of March 1. Polls show the former secretary of state with a huge advantage among African-Americans which bodes well for her prospects in SC and then the Southern states which vote on Super Tuesday where blacks make up a large segment of the Democratic primary electorate.

Donald Trump is on a roll, having won big in both New Hampshire and SC, and polls in Nevada show him up by a double-digit margin. This is what it has come to in the Desperate States of America after caucus night in Nevada.

“We won the evangelicals”.

Prior to his win, Trump had 67 delegates, and there are 30 delegates at stake in Nevada that will be divided up proportionally to the candidates. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was at 8 percent, up 3 points.
