Alabama Clinton Supporters Look to November After Super Tuesday Win

"Sanders not only has to win but he has to win big because he has to make up those delegates in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Florida", said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon.

Gerald Herbert/AP After winning seven of 11 states that voted on Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton is nearly halfway to securing enough delegates to lock up the Democratic nomination.

A close look at the delegate math illustrates Trump's problem.

Sanders senior adviser Tad Devine acknowledged Wednesday that Super Tuesday was the best day on the primary calendar for the former secretary of state and that Clinton has a "substantial advantage" in pledged delegates.

"I think the question is how does Donald Trump get to 1,237 delegates".

Haley, who has sparred with Trump during the campaign, took him to task again Wednesday over his argument that he can not release his income-tax returns because he's being audited. Trump said that if the two don't get along, Ryan is "going to have to pay a big price".

While the victories were not sufficient to deliver a knockout blow to Mr Sanders, who has vowed to remain in the race following his wins in Vermont, Colorado, Minnesota and Oklahoma, Ms Clinton's lead among Democrat delegates appears increasingly unassailable.

Trump also said Thursday he "may or may not" run as an independent if the Republican establishment continues to revolt against his possible nomination. But Sanders did what he needed to do Tuesday night, winning four states, and now has 386 delegates under his belt. Still, those came only after Trump had claimed five straight victories in the evangelical-heavy states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. Sanders will receive at least 71.

The full count for the Democratic results aren't in just yet, but Capitol Chatter is predicting that the final result will be 47 delegates for Bernie Sanders and 30 for Clinton - there are 77 available.

Clinton held on to older voters and strongly prevailed among Hispanics and African-Americans, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. As you know, Chuck, usually in these campaigns, you have a frontrunner, and the party says, 'Let's rally around John McCain or Mitt Romney.' That's not going to happen with Donald Trump. Her lukewarm reception among people like Cronk points to a challenge for her in November, should she win the nomination.

And she already has Trump firmly in her sights.

"I don't ever think anything is inevitable", Weingarten said. "Sanders doesn't just have to start winning a few states, but he needs to start winning everywhere and by large margins". "She's weird", Williams said.

Progressive populism triumphs politically over the supply-side economics of the right, the root-canal budget-cutting of more establishment Republicans and the crony capitalism of more conservative Democrats.

Rubio said his supporters would never rally around Trump.

Florida, rich in delegates who will choose the Democratic nominee at the party's national convention in July, votes in its primary on March 15th.
