Clinton and Trump take the gold!


Primaries for both the Republican and Democratic Parties were held in South Carolina and Nevada, respectively.  On the democratic side in Nevada, Hillary Clinton took the win with a 52.7% while Bernie Sanders got 47.3% of the vote. This win was a big step towards the Presidency for Hillary Clinton; however, she needs to keep up the momentum.  Although she is ahead, Sanders can catch up at any time. On the Republican side Donald Trump took a big win in South Carolina with 32.5% of the vote while Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz fell to second and third places. Many thought Rubio would take the win in the palmetto state because of Governor Nikki Haley’s endorsement but he fell short.  If Marco Rubio wants to be the candidate for the Republican Party he needs to win the State of Nevada.  In the mean time Ted Cruz and Donald Trump continue arguing, which will eventually hurt the Republican Party and may just concede the Presidency to the Democratic Party.
