Cruz gains in online betting, Trump still Republican favourite

"If a person wants to be the nominee of the party, there can be no evasion and no games".

The Republican division represents the party's biggest crisis in years, with the prospect of nominating a presidential candidate it can't control.

Still, Cruz called on Rubio and other candidates to step aside: "I ask you to prayerfully consider our coming together, united".

Trump won seven states on Super Tuesday - including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia - and Rubio won in Minnesota.

Oregon lawmakers approve pioneering pro-climate coal bill
Utilities can request those rate increases, which are allowed under the current renewable energy mandate, in addition to broader periodic rate increases.

Other senior Republicans like Paul Ryan, John McCain and a host of national security committee members have also attacked the New Yorker since he cemented his front-runner status on Super Tuesday.

Many in the anti-Trump crowd were celebrating the businessman's local defeat this morning, but there remains the indisputable truth that Trump is in the driver's seat for the nomination. He's amassed a leading 316 delegates, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz hadn't won his home state's primary on Tuesday, his presidential campaign would now most likely be over, his chief strategist told supporters Wednesday. He now runs Crosscut Strategies in Washington D.C.

DR. MICHELLE DEARDORFF, UTC POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPT. "You have a group of people who've seen the world change around them, that have watched the economy change, that have watched values change, that have watched priorities change, they're concerned, angry, they're frightened, and we've watched increased polarization and I think we see the Donald Trump phenomenon tapping into this".

Mr Cruz collected at least 144 delegates and Mr Rubio picked up at least 71.

Astronomers measured the distance to the galaxy, known as GN-z11, by splitting its light up into its component colours. And for GN-z11 to be that visible it would have to be three times brighter than typical galaxies, he said in an email.

He later said he would support the GOP nominee for president - whoever it may be. Rubio won big in Loudoun County - Congresswoman Barbara Comstock's support was a big boost, as well as his Patrick Henry College rally, and the support of numerous local elected leaders.

In that case, Trump needs to win 57 percent of remaining delegates to get to 1,237 - still doable.

Trump's night of triumph in the US Super Tuesday primary votes left frightened people around the world looking for a hero who will finally stop him. While a voting bloc thought to be Cruz's strong suit - evangelicals - are still breaking for Trump in some Southern states, Abbott suggested those voters will start shifting soon to Cruz. Slip-ups in the winner-take-all states of Florida or OH on March 15 would knock him off track, as would even a slight underperformance in states that allocate their delegates proportionally.

In response at a campaign speech in Maine, Mr Trump made much of his own endorsement of the former MA governor in his failed race to unseat President Barack Obama in the 2012 contest.
