Trump and Clinton power past rivals

At stake in SC are 50 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination. “…I said we should take a pause on these Syrian migrants and I believe we should do that, but frankly to try to create some sort of religious standard in terms of who can come to America-we’re a melting pot and as long as they have positive intents they should be able to come”. Fiorentino said Sunday that he would now back Florida’s U.S. Sen.

Donald Trump has won the SC primary, while Florida Sen.

Trump acknowledged he could still lose the GOP nominating contest – “certainly nobody’s unstoppable”, he said – and launched another broadside at establishment politics, saying that “the day I chose to run, which was June 16, I became an outsider”. The businessman had used Mr Bush as a political punchbag throughout the campaign. “You have noticed that one of the recent national polls actually had us ahead of Hillary Clinton, in state after state her margin is narrowing”.

On Sunday, Trump denied any role he may have played in taking down Bush, who ended his campaign on Saturday night after a fourth-place finish in SC.

The former secretary of state clung to a four-percentage-point lead in Nevada – not almost the advantage she once had in polls, but perhaps enough to quash talk of a campaign death-spiral.

“He says something that’s edgy and outrageous and then the media flocks and covers that and then no one else can get any coverage on anything else”. It’s all but impossible to imagine Jeb, or any other Bush for that matter, running against Muslims and immigrants or in favor of government shutdowns. His most notable target was Bush, whom he began characterizing early on as a “low-energy” loser.

With the qualification issue now taken care of by the simple fact that Jeb Bush has suspended his campaign, there are many pundits who now speculate whether or not Bush would support his nemesis or rally behind the parties’ perceived hopeful in Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio edged fellow freshman Sen.

He laid out his own road map to general election victory, pinpointing two states – MI and NY – that he said he’d sweep into the Republican column.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich had an impressive second place finish in New Hampshire last week and didn’t necessarily need a big win today in SC, though he essentially tied with Bush, taking 7.6 percent of the vote.

“I think there’s an underlying question that maybe is really in the back of people’s minds and that is, you know, is she in it for us or is she in it for herself?”

He said the GOP race is increasingly about “who can win”.

The presidential candidates swap states after Saturday’s split-screen race that featured a GOP primary won by Donald Trump in SC and Democratic caucuses that favored Hillary Clinton in Nevada. “So tonight I am suspending my campaign”.

Susie Wiles, a longtime Jacksonville political strategist and state co-chairman of part-time Floridian Donald Trump’s campaign, said Trump and his family will start spending more time campaigning around the state.

“As president of the United States, I pledge to you that I will do everything within my power to end the scourge of abortion once and for all”. Democrats will unite around either Clinton or Sanders when the primaries are over.

“Just want to say an fantastic place SC”, she said. If I’m president, we’re not going to have people dying on the streets.

Cruz, who finished first in Iowa and third in New Hampshire, said his base remains strong going forward, especially among young Republican voters.

“As much as I’d like to see a Christian as president, I’m not sure anyone can stay a Christian in that office”.

At his town halls, where Bush was most comfortable and loose, voters routinely walked away surprised at the depth of knowledge and energy he showed in person versus on TV and in the debates.
