US Elections: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton win big on Super Tuesday.



‘You’re going to be very proud of me as president. I’m going to get along very well with the world. I’m a unifier.’

So said Donald Trump in a very – dare we say it? – presidential-sounding speech following a big win on Super Tuesday.
Trump and Hillary Clinton both won seven contests yesterday on the day in presidential primary season when the greatest number of states hold primary elections.

Bernie Sanders won four, while Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio won two and one respectively.
It was the result that the Republican establishment feared, because it showed the fluffy-haired, big-talking super-rich real estate mogul to be the dominant GOP front runner not in one state, not in two states, but across the entire country.
‘I feel awfully good. I’m becoming diplomatic,’ Trump said at the private club Mar-a-Logo in Palm Beach, Florida, following the result announcement.

‘I’m a unifier. I know people find that a little hard to believe, but I am a unifier. I have a bigger heart than anybody.
‘Once this is over I’m going after only one person and that’s Hillary Clinton. We’re going to be a unified party and a much bigger party. Our party is expanding and that hasn’t happened to the Republican Party in decades.
‘We’re going to be more inclusive. I’m going to be very good for women’s health issues, that’s very important to me, and we’re going to do great with the African-Americans and the Hispanics. The reason is I’m going to bring jobs back.’
