Clinton, Trump cemented as 2016 leaders; GOP desperate
By JULIE BYKOWICZ

MIAMI — Democrat Hil-
lary Clinton and Republican
Donald Trump seized deci-
sive Super Tuesday victories
with math and momentum on
their side, leaving rivals scram-
bling for last-chance, long-shot
strategies. For the Republican
establishment, the search was
increasingly dire.
Trump’s seven victories
in states across the country
amounted to a GOP establish-
ment collapse with no clear sign
of rapid recovery. While his
ULYDOVSURPLVHGWR¿JKWRQWKH
party remained deeply divided
over the preferred Trump alter-
native. Marco Rubio won only
liberal Minnesota. Sen. Ted
Cruz took his home state of
Texas, neighboring Oklahoma
and Alaska.
Clinton also won seven of
the nearly a dozen states that
weighed in Tuesday. Rival Ber-
nie Sanders won his home state
of Vermont, as well as Minne-
sota, Oklahoma and Colorado.

sent a chilling warning to the
GOP establishment. A moment
after Trump professed to have
good relationships with his par-
ty’s elite, he issued a warning to
House Speaker Paul Ryan, who
had declared earlier Tuesday
that “this party does not prey
on people’s prejudices.” Trump
said that if the two don’t get
along, Ryan is “going to have
to pay a big price.”
Clinton, meanwhile, called
can beat, and that will beat Don-
ald Trump,” Cruz thundered
to supporters gathered at the
wood-paneled Redneck Coun-
try Club in Stafford, Texas.
Still, he’d been counting
on more appeal in the South-
ern states and among evangel-
ical Christian voters. Trump,
who dubs his surging campaign
the “Trump Train,” has derailed
those plans.

election is often won or lost.

Simple math reinforces a
bind for the Republicans who
reject Trump, as the brash bil-
lionaire businessman carried
seven states and continues to
barrel toward the 1,237 dele-
gates needed to secure the GOP
nomination.
Trump won at least 203
delegates Tuesday. Cruz col-
lected at least 144 delegates
and Rubio picked up at least
71. Overall, Trump leads with
285 delegates, Cruz has 161,
Rubio has 87, Kasich has 25
and Carson has eight. It takes
1,237 delegates to win the GOP
nomination.
Increasingly,
leading
Republicans talk of a contested
convention in July as their best
remaining option for stopping
Trump, whose divisive rheto-
ric about immigrants and eth-
nic and religious groups has
some fearing a GOP wipeout in
November.
Sanders assured support-

one” of the remaining contests.
With a staggering $42 million
raised in February alone, Sand-
ers has the campaign cash to
do just that — though Clinton
is well on her way to the 2,383
delegates needed on the Demo-
cratic side.
Clinton collected wins in
seven states, and Trump swept
up victories in seven, includ-
ing Virginia, another important
general election battleground.
