NEVADA
Donald J. Trump’s core base of conservative supporters, draining anti-government hardliners and evangelicals helped him win the Nevada caucus by 45.9% Tuesday over Marco Rubio (23.85%), the Republican establishment’s favorite and Ted Cruz (21.3%). Voters in Nevada were angrier and older than in the prior primaries or caucuses and Trump won 44% of the 9% Hispanic electorate. “We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated — I love the poorly educated,This is an amazing night.” After all these convincing wins, it begs the question, will he be the U.S. Republican presidential nominee? Let’s get ready for Super Tuesday March 1!
