Republican candidates make final pitch to Nevada voters

According to the statewide Mitchell Research survey, ironically, Lansing area voters, 43 percent of them, picked Jeb Bush as their Republican presidential candidate.

The family connection was not a help in the end for Bush, who seemed flustered by press questions as to whether he would have invaded Iraq as his brother did. The Republican candidates were fanning out Sunday to Nevada, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and beyond as the race spreads out and speeds up after the kickoff trio of contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and SC. Now, Rubio and the other candidates are transitioning to running national campaigns as 13 states and territories hold their contests on Super Tuesday.

“I don’t think we’re going to have a convention, a brokered convention”. Trump acknowledged that he probably needs to act more presidential. “I think it’s unlikely. Right now, I’m fighting for my life”.

At a rowdy Atlanta rally, Trump crowed over his big SC win, saying “we’re just doing one after another”.

“It’s every single day something comes out of the Cruz campaign that’s deceptive and untrue, and in this case goes after my faith”, Rubio told reporters when asked about the incident. He looked past Tuesday’s Democratic primary in SC to list Colorado, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Oklahoma as places where he has a “good shot” to do well.

For Super Tuesday, Trump will need to hold on to his strong support, which many experts theorize has been fueled by a large field of candidates. Bernie Sanders, but she acknowledges that she has work to do in convincing voters she has their best interests at heart. “Clinton said on CNN’s “State of the Union”. “I think a lot of donors, a lot of voters and a lot of elected officials are excited to get on board with Marco Rubio, the only one who can challenge Donald Trump for the presidency”. He noted that round offers victors a “winner-take-all” share of delegates rather a proportional share.

The contest will be the fourth for the Republican presidential candidates after Iowa, New Hampshire and SC.

But Trump has knocked Cruz for more than his attack ads, also pointing to the Cruz campaign’s tactics, which included mailers warning voters of a “voter violation” and a Cruz campaign adviser calling grassroots leaders hours before voters headed to the caucuses, claiming that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson had dropped out of the presidential race.

As you know, John, historically in order to have chance to win the nomination you have to win one of the first three states. In the unofficial total results, Trump took 32.5 percent to 22.5 percent for Rubio and 22.3 percent for Cruz. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have to defeat party front-runner Donald Trump would be to combine forces and go after Trump jointly.
