Alaska Republican Caucus Results: Cruz Wins 12 Delegates, Trump Gets 11

Mar 04, 2016, 00:24

Donald Trump's delegate gains on Super Tuesday were limited by Ted Cruz's big win in delegate-rich Texas - his home state.

68-year-old Clinton, who is the Democratic Party front-runner and is aspiring to be America's first woman president, also clinched seven states in the "Super Tuesday" primaries - Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Ohio Gov. John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson to end their campaigns so he could confront Trump on his own.

The super PAC's campaign is focusing on mid-March nominating contests in MI and IL, aiming to stop Trump before he notches enough delegates under his belt to win the Republican nomination.

Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump were pressing for sweeping victories that could distance them from their party rivals and move them closer to a November presidential election showdown.

Trump won handily in states as politically opposite as MA and Alabama, a sign of his broad, outsider appeal and energizing impact on voter turnout. Bernie Sanders won his home state of Vermont as well as Minnesota, Oklahoma and Colorado. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, meanwhile, faced questions about his longevity in the race, as his home state decided between the billionaire and favorite son.

Jones was one of three coaches who jokingly said they were planning to attend the Harbaugh-led practice at IMG Academy. In the lawsuit, eight women accuse Tennessee of having a "hostile sexual environment" that allegedly favors athletes.

In his victory speech, Trump sent a clear message to the GOP establishment, warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had declared earlier Tuesday that "this party does not prey on people's prejudices", that if the two don't get along, Ryan is "going to have to pay a big price". "Trump and his angry band of supporters are starting to board and the GOP, as an entity, will be a awful place to stay for many elected officials".

However, Georgia Republicans allocate most of their delegates - 42 out of 76 - according to the vote in individual congressional districts. Each candidate needs 1,237 to win the nomination. Right now, Trump has slightly less than half of all delegates bound, with his 315 stacked up against 349 of all other rivals combined.

Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver said, "To overcome that hurdle in a general election environment where you're being hounded by Donald Trump day after day after day, I'm not sure that can be done". Accordingly, Rubio outperformed the sparse polling in the Super Tuesday I races.

Another well-known conservative writer floated a different option: Conservatives jump ship en masse, take over a small outfit like the Constitution party, and run a more acceptable candidate. It takes an outright majority of delegates to win the nomination. Most of Sanders' wins have come in states with large populations of white voters. Marco Rubio's 16 percent and Cruz's 15 percent in a new CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday.

The 1944 presidential election was the last time that the Republican and Democratic nominees came from the same state, which also happened to be NY.

Trump won 203 delegates Tuesday, while Cruz picked up 144.

"If you don't see a donor rush, it's because people are seeing what I'm seeing: Show me how Trump can be beaten", said Al Cardenas, a Miami-based lobbyist and conservative activist who is a longtime Bush friend and former Rubio employer.

Even that is a long shot, as the remaining primary states are more favorable to Mr. Rubio than Mr. Cruz.

Hillary Clinton is being called to task for her voting record on issues related to African-Americans, and she's not handling it as well as she should.
