Well, it won't be Bush....

The 'establishment' will now be all in for Rubio. Three-way race.

what a great campaign this is -in the past the American people have chosen white presidents now they have a black president and soon they could have an orange president with a dodgy hair piece :shocked:

Sorry, I still feel that Trump will win the nomination. He's speaking to those Americans who are a sandwich short of a full picnic. I'm still backing him to win the election on a whole. If he doesn't even get the nomination, I'll ban myself from here for a month.

The nodding donkeys will only take him so far though as they certainly won't take him to the White House that's for sure Mark.

DONALD Trump romped to a third victory in a row in the race to become the Republican candidate with a thumping win in the Nevada caucus.

The billionaire finished with 44 per cent of votes in the desert state, more than 20 points clear of his Presidential rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

It cements his status as the front runner to get the nomination in the race for the White House, following successes in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Trump told his supporters at a rally afterwards: “We will be celebrating for a long time tonight. Have a good time.

“You know we weren’t expected to win this one, a couple of months ago
Linky

Super Tuesday's going to be interesting. Unless one of his rivals drop out Trump's going to get the nomination.

As long as Clinton doesn't get taken down by the e-mail thing she should beat him. The other hope is that as the Primaries move into more balanced states that Rubio will take it although it's looking less likely.

Sorry, still think he is going to be the next President of the United States of America.

How many delegates does he need to win on March 1 to get the nomination?

He can't win it on March 1. If he wins everything though he'll probably win the nomination.
