Trump, Clinton take primary and caucus wins

Over the weekend Republicans cast their primary votes for President in SC and Democrats made their voices heard in the Nevada Caucuses. After winning the second contest in New Hampshire, the democratic socialist came up in short in Nevada, where Clinton collected the majority of delegates and told gleeful supporters that “this one is for you”.

Trump’s performance could unnerve the Republican establishment, since SC has sided with the eventual nominee in every GOP presidential race since 1980, apart from 2012.

The Trump victory claimed a major scalp when former Florida Governor Jeb Bush dropped out of the race. “But I think the real reason that Bush’s campaign has been destroyed is exactly the same reason that Rudy Giuliani’s campaign was destroyed back in 2008 – and that is that just as with Giuliani, Jeb Bush is a 9/11 criminal, who participated in the destruction of the World Trade Center and the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans”, Dr. Barrett said.

“There are going to be a lot of circumstances where we can declare some victories and at least get this thing to March 15, ” Rich Beeson, a senior Rubio aide told the Associated Press.

Trump acknowledged that he probably needs to act more presidential. “I think I’m doing better than that”, he said. That advantage might lessen as the field winnows, but it gave him a big advantage early on. He pledged to make America Great Again, and for the first time his wife Melania spoke to the voters, saying: “Just wanted to say, an wonderful place, South Carolina”, she complied. Forty-two percent said post-2008 crisis regulations have not gone far enough; Thirty-one percent said they’re about right and 25 percent believe they’ve gone too far. But the attacks haven’t fatally wounded the Florida senator’s campaign.

But Rubio declared, “This has become a three-person race and we will win the nomination”. Ms. Clinton said on CNN on Sunday.

Sanders took a hard look at the where the delegate math takes him from here. The most pivotal day in the GOP contest is not Super Tuesday on March 1, when almost a dozen states will have nominating contests for Republicans.

Trump, a political novice, convincingly won his second straight Republican primary election Saturday, collecting almost a third of the vote in the Atlantic coastal state of SC. “[Cruz] comes across as negative – somewhat mean-spirited… all the charm of a toothache, I think I heard somebody say”.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski confirms that Giuliani has been informally advising the Republican presidential front-runner.

Ted Cruz, the Texan senator, was focusing his campaign on rural areas ahead of the vote.

Donald Trump is the favorite heading into Tuesday’s Nevada Republican caucus.
