McClathcy News: Trump poised to step on the GOP accelerator
* GOP delegate selection process favors front-runners
* Nevada caucus up next; Trump favored
* He leads in 8 of the next states
CHARLESTON, S.C. : Things sure look good for Donald Trump.
The Republican presidential race expanded across the country Sunday, and polls show the real estate mogul ahead in eight of the dozen states voting in the next nine days.
Trump has now won primaries in two very different states, center-right New Hampshire and evangelical-dominated South Carolina. And the Republican Party system of choosing a presidential nominee favors candidates who continue to win early primaries and caucuses.
“He seems to have about a third of the Republican electorate under his spell, and it’s a durable, non-ideological coalition,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor at Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball Sunday.

This is BS!
Why would the primaries be over after just 3 states (6% of the states)?
Jeb set himself up to fail with his winning without the base strategy and ignoring Bush fatigue.
The establishment is trying to sabotage Cruz.
Trump should be doing no better than he did last time except for establishment perfidy on immigration and weakness in caving to Obama.
Trump thanks all the weak kneed bewildered wildebeasts of the Republican Party
