Republican hopeful Donald Trump looks to take Nevada

WASHINGTON: A triumphant Donald Trump rolls into Nevada as a hot favourite in the Republican nomination for the US Presidential elections. The real estate mogul, an easy winner in New Hampshire and South Carolina, looks well ahead in Nevada, and leading in 10 of the 14 states set to vote in Republican primaries over the next two weeks. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz will fight it out for the second place.
According to Real Clear Politics, Trump's biggest lead is in Massachusetts, where he is 35 points ahead of Florida senator Marco Rubio. His lowest margin of victory is predicted to come in Minnesota, where he leads Rubio by 6 points. But in Texas, Senator Ted Cruz's home state, Trump trails him by 6.7 percent. The candidates are now revving up their campaigns for Super Tuesday on March 1, when voters in 12 states go to the polls.
Rubio, who edged out Cruz for second place in South Carolina, said that primary turned the Republican presidential race into a three-person contest. As in South Carolina, Rubio's campaign strategy relies heavily on endorsements from local lawmakers and celebrities.
Cruz, seeking to recover from a disappointing third place in South Carolina, has stressed the fact that he is the one candidate who has prevailed in a contest with Trump with a triumph in the Iowa caucuses.
