What makes Super Tuesday so 'super' for the primary

"It doesn't seem like the Republicans respect anybody's rights" except the "wealthy and well-connected", said Clinton. Bernie Sanders cast his vote in his home state's presidential primary as part of the Super Tuesday voting that is taking place in states across the nation.

Like Trump, Clinton has won three of the four early voting contests.

That was her status at the start of the campaign - before the rise of Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist. The Vermont senator did carry his home state decisively, and told the crowd at a raucous victory party that he was "so proud to bring Vermont values all across this country".

Bernie Sanders voted in his hometown of Burlington, Vermont as Super Tuesday kicked off across 11 states. Recent polls suggest the same. If she does, Sanders' momentum may have fizzled out for good.

Donald Trump better enjoy his winning streak while it lasts.

For Rubio, Super Tuesday turned into a bitter disappointment.

The poll numbers are expected to add yet another layer of worry to GOP party leaders. For instance, he recently received his first Senate endorsement, from Sen.

They were referring to a weekend interview on CNN in which Trump refused to denounce the former KKK grand wizard or racist groups.

Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination with more state wins and more delegates than any other GOP contender. Fox will concentrate its questions on Trump , Cruz and Marco Rubio - making for potentially awkward moments for Kasich.

Presidential hopefuls were keeping a close eye on MA as they jousted for delegates in the Super Tuesday presidential primaries. However, Sanders hasn't yet faced the scrutiny that he would face in a general election campaign.

Still, Trump's wins in the South were a blow to Cruz, who once saw the region as his opportunity to stake a claim to the nomination. For the Republican party, some states are victor take all while others are proportional. But with 1,237 total delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination, results from Super Tuesday have the potential to shake up the race - or seal the deal for Trump's insurgent campaign.

How well does Marco Rubio do? But he's failed to win a state so far, raising questions about his strategy for topping Trump.

While it's a critical day in campaign 2016, many have their sites set on the next primary here in Florida on March 15th.

Trump won at least 192 delegates in Tuesday's contests.

Clinton has a tougher time against the GOP's other candidates - trailing both Rubio, 50-47, and Cruz, 49-48, found pollsters, who surveyed 1,001 adults between February 24-27.

Trump was predicting a landslide day that would all but end the contest - and he put pressure on Rubio to exit the race if the Floridian does not win a state.

ERIK S. LESSER/EPA The CNN/ORC poll of national voters showed Clinton has an 8-point lead over Trump - 52% to 44%.

Tapper followed, "But just for the record, even though you think all that about Donald Trump, you still would support him for the presidency if he gets the nomination?"
