Super Tuesday and the voters have spoken……..and the media is the big winner……

GOP results…….

Donald Trump had his expected strong night on Super Tuesday, but he didn’t post a clean sweep. He won seven states—Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas, and Vermont—but Ted Cruz defeated him in the senator’s own home state of Texas, in neighboring Oklahoma and in Alaska, reports CNN. The Oklahoma win was a surprise and gives Cruz at least as strong a claim to be the “Trump alternative” as Marco Rubio, writes Nicholas Confessore at the New York Times.

“This has been an amazing evening,” Trump told supporters, describing himself as a “unifier.” “Once we get all of this finished, I am going to go after one person: Hillary Clinton,” he vowed. Rubio, meanwhile, scored his first victory with a win in Minnesota and finished a strong second in Virginia, perhaps buoyed by Democrats voting for him in the open primary, notes Vox. But overall, he fared poorly in the South, where evangelicals and conservative voters chose Trump, reports the Washington Post. The brightest spot for John Kasich was Vermont, where he came a close second. He also came a distant second in Massachusetts, while Ben Carson failed to crack the top three in any state

Democrat results……

Hillary Clinton scooped up seven states on Super Tuesday in her bid to lock down frontrunner status—but Bernie Sanders had a late flurry of victories himself. When the first polls closed, CNN quickly projected Clinton the winner in Georgia and Virginia—both states she lost to Barack Obama in 2008—with Sanders winning his home state of Vermont. Clinton then racked up wins in Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas (where she was once the state’s first lady), before adding Texas. The latter gave her a sweep of Southern states holding primaries, reports the AP. She also won Massachusetts in a close contest, along with American Samoa. The night ended well for Sanders, however, as he added Oklahoma, Colorado, and Minnesota to his tally.

Earlier, Clinton declined to make any predictions. “Let’s see what voters decide in all these states that are lined up today and then we’ll take stock after it’s over,” she said. Sanders spoke in Vermont and said his campaign, which has plenty of money, is in it for the long run, reports Business Insider. He noted that most of the states have yet to vote. “Let me assure you that we are going to take our fight for economic justice, for social justice, for environmental sanity, for world of peace, to every one of those states.” All told, Clinton and Sanders were competing for 865 delegates in 11 states and American Samoa on Tuesday, the biggest single-day prize of the 2016 campaign.

It appears the candidates for the general in November is becoming clear…..this should be settled completely by 01 April…….

And the beat goes…….
