Super Tuesday: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton set to secure nomination as twelve US states vote

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will try to separate themselves from their competitors on Super Tuesday as both frontrunners are in line to rack up the lion’s share of the delegates and build what may be insurmountable leads.

Republicans will battle for 595 delegates while Democrats have 865 delegates at stake tonight.

Trump, who has won three straight nominating contests, has a 33-point lead in the latest national CNN/ORC poll. And according to the RealClearPolitics average of the polls, he has commanding leads in nearly every Super Tuesday state. Trump is up 14.5 percentage points in Virginia, 15.2 in Georgia, 26.8 in Massachusetts, 8.6 in Oklahoma. 17.7 in Alabama, 18 in Tennessee, and 15 in Vermont.

After tonight it will virtually be certain that Donald Trump will win the Republican nomination and Hillary Clinton the Democratic nomination as twelve states go to the polls. Clinton was facing a challenge from Bernie Sanders which gathered steam a few weeks back, but her huge poll leads which he had whittled down hugely are simply too large for him to overcome it appears: and his momentum has more or less come to an end right now.

In the Republican race, the GOP establishment are desperate to stop The Donald but time is running out or has run out to stop him. Even the two other contenders who have any remote chance, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, are miles behind Trump in the polling figures. A recent poll this weekend put him on a thumping 49% and I read that at this stage in the contest he has done even better than Mitt Romney had in 2012. It's virtually certain now.

The only unknowns now apart from the two front runner dropping dead are if the Republicans attempt any dirty tricks concerning delegate allocations as they did in 2012 against Congressman Dr. Ron Paul and for the Clinton campaign there's still the fact Hillary is under investigation by the FBI which could result in criminal proceedings being taken forward: it's expected if this happens that Joe Biden would jump into the race to block Bernie Sanders.

Results will come in through the night but this is a big night in the race. It ain't called Super Tuesday for nothing.

Thoughts?

Lovesit, two of the worst humans on the planet happen to be America's favourite pair. If it were a film no-one would believe it

it does raise the possibility of a strong third run candidate arising which would be very healthy for american politics

or they could just do the sensible thing and abolish the office of presidency and beg us back and share queen liz. they've already got a quasi-Clinton/Bush monarchy so may aswell go the whole hog and have the real deal :P
