Donald Trump trounced his rivals in the Nevada caucuses on Tuesday, notching his third consecutive victory and giving the Manhattan mogul even more momentum heading into Super Tuesday next week, when voters in a dozen states will cast their ballots.
Trump’s decisive win, which the Associated Press announced immediately after polls closed, was propelled by an electorate even more enraged than the ones that had swept him to wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and a second-place showing in Iowa.
"We love Nevada. We love Nevada,†Trump declared in his victory speech. "Ah, this is a great place."
For the first time in the 2016 primary season, media entrance polls showed that a majority of voters, 57 percent of Nevada caucus-goers, said they were "angry" with the federal government. Another 36 percent said they were dissatisfied.
And, as significantly, they want to bring in an outsider to fix it. More than three in five caucus-goers said they favor someone from outside the political establishment rather than a candidate with political experience as president.
That was bad news for Marco Rubio, who is now 0 for 4 in the February contests, and Ted Cruz, who won the Iowa caucuses but finished a disappointing third in South Carolina on Saturday.

Wow! Over double the voters.
That is Yuge.
He’s hitting the ceiling! :o)
Damned impressive. I’m sure the MSM will be picking up on the astonishing differences between this race ... hold on ... what’s that? ...
Um, never mind.
Doomed! Doomed, I say!
Trump will roll up his campaign before Thanksgiving! Mark my words!
You’re right, DoughtyOne. Windflier is an excellent gentleman.
Stop blushing, Windflier. ;-)

Hey there, Lady. We haven’t talked in too long. How’s things?
(thanks)
:D
I’m not sure I was the first, but this is interesting.
Donald has run very strong, thus far.
He is right on virtually every issue. There is only one issue I have an issue with him thus far, about imminent domain. Not a big thing for me, I actually am glad there is one topic I disagree with him on.
But he is absolutely right, about every single other issue.
Congratulations Donald, and keep up the good run.
Thanks for your post.
Go Trump.
:D
