The votes are in. Kind of.
Voters went into the polls today, Super Tuesday, to vote for the Republican and Democratic Primary, in a dozen states. Clinton has a projected 6 state win while Trump has 5. Trailing behind, Cruz has 2 state wins, his home state, Texas, and our neighbor Oklahoma, while Bernie Sanders has 2 state wins in Vermont and Oklahoma over Clinton. OK is big for Cruz and Sanders, though they have only 2 state wins, Cruz also has Iowa and his wins of TX and OK are rationale enough for him to carry on in the race, and Sanders is projected to win over multiple states in the North East as well as Minnesota and Colorado, but tonight held big winnings for Clinton and Trump.
The Republican Establishment has expressed growing concern due to Trump's success in the GOP polls, where he jumped from support from 30% of Republican voters to 49%, placing him 20 points ahead of Cruz and Rubio. Given his controversial rhetoric, stances on immigration, and his failure to disavow support from David Duke, a former leader of the KKK, it's no wonder that officials are concerned that if Trump is the Republican nominee that not only will the Red party lose the White House, but the Senate as well.
