Donald Trump won the Republican primaries in South Carolina, and the race for the presidency withdrew Jeb Bush. Billionaire grows, however, another serious competitor. On the other hand, fighting for the Democratic nomination Hillary Clinton triumphed in a poll conducted in Nevada.
Just as polls predicted Trump clearly won the primaries in South Carolina. He won up 32.5 percent. the voters of the Republican Party (GOP), which after earlier winning the state of New Hampshire, has strengthened its position in the race for the GOP nomination in the November presidential election.
– will build a wall and who will pay for it? Mexico will pay for the wall – shouted Trump in his victory speech, returning to his flagship campaign promise ws. Construction of the wall on the southern border of the United States, as a means to stop illegal immigrants. – Wall with Mexico is just about 10 feet higher – enjoyed, while ensuring that “loves Hispanics.” – I have thousands and thousands of Hispanic supporters. I lead this group of voters – said the billionaire.
The billionaire and the outsider political, which criticizes the political establishment in Washington, he promised, moreover, that as President of the United States “restore American greatness”, bring back to the US from China jobs and the repeal of health care reform – Obamacare.
the second place on the basis of 99 per cent. podliczonych votes taken by CNN supported by the establishment GOP senator from Florida, Marco Rubio (22.5 percent.), and the third ultraconservative Senator Ted Cruz of Texas (22.3 percent.). Although Cruz received similar support at Rubio, third place is his failure. Senator did not in fact obtain the support of the majority of religious evangelicals, which sounds the most courted.
Jeb Bush resigns
Far behind, only in fourth position (7.8 percent.), ranked former favorite of the party elite GOP, in the early primaries considered the favorite, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the brother and son of former US presidents. Without waiting for the official results on Saturday evening announced its withdrawal from the race for the White House.
Earlier, Bush came out poorly in Iowa (sixth place) and New Hampshire (fourth place). – Residents of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have spoken and I respect their decision. So today I suspend the campaign – he said to his followers. Bush expressed the hope that the next US president will be a Republican. – America is a country that thinks foresight, act boldly and carries no guilt. The task of the next president will be to restore such leadership – he added.
Despite record funds that invested in the Bush campaign donors GOP, proved to be a complete dud. Bush did not help even involvement in the last days of the campaign, the mother Barbara, a former first lady and his brother George W. Bush, who won the South Carolina presidential primaries in 2000 and is still revered here. Analysts keel days predicted that if Bush fails to bounce after Saturday’s primaries, is under pressure from donors and party elites will have to abandon the race, to take place and increase the chances of winning with Trump and nomination GOP Senator Rubio.
Omitted Kasich
in a speech delivered on Saturday evening, Rubio said that the race count only three people: he Trump and Cruz, but he assured that he will win the GOP nomination. He thanked the competition and praised the struggle Jeb Bush, in the hope that the voters of the former governor’s move now their vote just for him.
But the race still participates Governor of Ohio John Kasich, who is seen as the most moderate of the GOP candidates for the White House. In South Carolina, he finished only fifth place (7.6 percent. Votes), but New Hampshire was second after Trump, ahead of Rubio. Both – and Rubio, and Kasich – are fighting for the same centrist GOP electorate. In response to a Saturday speech Rubio, staff Kasich emphasized that the race still count not three, and four.
will remain in the race also confirmed on Saturday a very conservative, a former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who took South Carolina last place, but with a small loss to Kasich (7.2 percent.).
indicates Carolina won
primaries in South Carolina has always been considered very important especially for the GOP, because the state is fairly representative of the various “factions” of the Republican Party throughout the country. Since 1980, all winners GOP primaries in this state later won the GOP nomination in the appropriate presidential election. The exception was the election four years ago, when Mitt Romney lost in this state with a much more conservative Newt Gingrich, who later even made it to victory in Romney’s convention GOP.
have never happened, however, to the winner of the primaries in South Carolina and New Hampshire did not win the GOP presidential nomination, which is a good omen for Trump. But on the other hand, this year’s elections are full of surprises and historical comparisons may be misguided.
The new rules of the game
According to analysts , this year, the key may be only primaries since mid-March, when the vote large and more moderate states like Florida, Illinois and California. Come up with them will be much more delegates to the July convention national Republicans than the small states where primaries were held so far and where due to the still high number of candidates voices were more dispersed.
But more importantly March 15 primaries will be held according to the new (introduced by the GOP in 2012) the principle of “winner takes everything.” And that means coming from Florida, Rubio will be able here to get all 99 delegates, even if it will win only a small advantage. In Mississippi (vote March 8) popular Cruz would get more than 50 percent. votes to take all 39 delegates.
Victory Clinton
On the other side of the political divide was US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won primaries in the state Nevada beating in the race for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Overwhelmingly supported it especially voters from the minority Afro-American.
According to CNN Clinton won more than 52 per cent., And Sanders 47 percent. the voters of the Democratic Party in Nevada.
– I thank all my supporters. Some doubted, but we never doubted (the win) – Clinton said in a speech victorious in Las Vegas. On the stage, accompanied by her husband, former US President Bill Clinton.
The former first lady desperately needed victory in Nevada. Earlier primaries did not fare well for her. Almost unknown a year ago, 74-year-old independent Senator Sanders, showing himself as a socialist, almost drew from Clinton, Iowa, and then beat it with a predominance of up to 20 percentage points in New Hampshire.
Support African Americans
But as far as Iowa and New Hampshire voters Democrats is very leftist and more than 90 percent. white, which contributed to Sanders, whereas Nevada is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse US states, with a strong minority Latino, African Americans and Asian Americans. According to preliminary estimates for Clinton they voted en masse in the western state of especially African Americans.
Clinton, clearly paying the voters of the minority, insisted that everyone “must have equal opportunities in our society.” – We must face systematic racism and reform immigration law and justice – argued.
Mass support of African-Americans in Nevada is a good omen for the 59-year-old Clinton before the next Democratic primary season, which will take place next week in South Carolina, where blacks make up more than half of the voters of the party. According to the polls advantage over Clinton Sanders over in this state more than 20 points. Therefore, some commentators have begun to speak of the “beginning of the end” Berniemanii as defined phenomenon support especially very young voters for promising “political revolution” senator from Vermont.
Super Tuesday will determine?
But Sanders has not made weapons. In a speech delivered on Saturday evening clearly he downplayed defeat in Nevada, turning to his supporters to vote for him during the primaries on Tuesday, March 1 in the framework of the so-called. Super Tuesday. To primaries will join the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.
As these states are very different geographically and socially, and come up with them will be a total of a very large number of delegates to the July convention Democrats, who nominates the party’s candidate for the presidential election in November, then won the Super Tuesday could be a breakthrough for the entire race.
– the wind is blowing in our sails. We gained momentum – Sanders said, noting that only five weeks ago in Nevada polls predicted Clinton huge victory, meanwhile, won him only a few percentage points. – I believe that in the Super Tuesday we have an excellent chance to win in many states – said Sanders.
Hispanic surprised
Sanders voted in Nevada primarily voters “very leftist” (while Clinton more moderate), which seduces promise to fight financiers of Wall Street, as well as the introduction of free studies and general health services.
But Sanders also voted – according to preliminary estimates, CNN – Latinos in Nevada, which – if true – is a surprise. Until now thought to have been Clinton is in the minority decisive advantage on the senator. The campaign in Nevada supported her many well-known Latino politicians and prominent activists called. Dreamers, as determined by persons who have been illegally imported into the United States as children.
