Still, Clinton said she was “confident” about the debate happening.

Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs also said the Clinton campaign “disingenuously” announced that it had agreed to a debate on a day when it knew Sanders already had locked in park permits for a major rally in New York City.

With his announcement on Wednesday, Mr. Trump has legitimized Israel’s illegal actions and sent the message that the United States no longer has any regard for international conventions or norms, and that might and power prevail over justice and the law.

“Trump has been able to disrupt the news pretty much any time he wants,” Silver wrote, “whether by being newsworthy, offensive, salacious or entertaining.

Politico reported that a congressional aide said Franken had tried to forcibly kiss her in 2006, before he was first elected to the Senate.

The “war over the wives” controversy is perhaps the perfect encapsulation of the gutter campaign, with Trump blaming Cruz for the posting of a nude magazine photo of his wife, Cruz blaming Trump for unsubstantiated mistress allegations in the Enquirer, and the media breathlessly following each twist and tweet.

His identity is defined by his desire to rise above the fray.

\--Ted Cruz is the most unlikable man in Washington, maybe the world, and such a nutty right-winger he’d probably like to shut down the government forever.

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton chimed in on Twitter, saying, "Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

“He loves his country.

Mr. Walker had strongly hinted he was thinking about endorsing Mr. Cruz in an interview last week with WTMJ, saying his views would probably be more aligned with those of Mr. Cruz or Mr. Kasich as opposed to Mr. Trump, but that Mr. Cruz was better positioned than Mr. Kasich in terms of the delegate math.

Mr. Sanders found a sweet spot of support among Seattle’s young voters.

I have gotten 2.6 million more votes than Bernie Sanders,” and “have a bigger lead in pledged delegates, the ones you win from people voting, than Barack Obama had at this time in 2008.”

Levin noted Trump’s high negative numbers before making a final comment: “I can smell this.

“I fear we’re going to get blown out, and part of it is tactics, and part of it — quite frankly — is Donald Trump’s tweeting problems.”

“Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him,” Mr. Cruz said.

Franken, who said that some of the complaints against him were “simply not true” and that he remembers others “differently,” also took a parting shot at President Trump.

In the early stages of the Cruz campaign he made a point of graciously welcoming each new candidate as they announced.

Bush is a good man and was a strong governor in Florida.

Mr. Cruz's day began with an announcement of support from Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida who was the only candidate to spend extensive time battling Mr. Trump directly over many months.

After his arrest Friday, Abdeslam told authorities he had created a new network and was planning new attacks.

But he said in an interview with ABC News on Monday that he would be “happy” to meet at some point with the elder Mr. Castro.

In 2011, the Justice Department accused Sheriff Arpaio of engaging in “unconstitutional policing” by unfairly targeting Latinos and demanding proof of citizenship.

By contrast, Mr. Sanders, who spent much of the week traveling the state, accused Sheriff Arpaio of using “un-American and uncivilized law enforcement tactics” against Latinos.

Currently the top judge on the D.C. Circuit, Garland is widely admired by Democrats and Republicans alike, although he wasn't unanimously confirmed for his current post.

In 1988, he gave up a plush partner's office in a powerhouse law firms to cut his teeth in criminal cases.

The case made his career and his reputation.

It's why women seized on that crude word as the emblem of the protest that dwarfed Trump's Inauguration crowd size.

With a decisive win in a key November battleground, the Clinton campaign got off to a good start.

Of the states that voted Tuesday, Florida was the biggest delegate prize and the state where the Clinton campaign has been building a grassroots volunteer base the longest.

And part of Sanders appeal in other states -- his laser focus on economic inequality -- hurt him in an ethnically and geographically diverse state.

Some voters even go so far as to say they believe Mr. Sanders has a better platform and is a more authentic candidate, but they still voted for Mrs. Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton consistently does well among those who want the next president to continue President Obama’s policies, exit polls show, but Mr. Sanders leads among those who want the next Democratic president to go even further.

“Right now I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, and not that I wouldn’t vote for Hillary in the end, but I guess I’d just say I’m looking for different blood.”

The Sanders campaign had launched a prolonged assault highlighting Mrs. Clinton’s support of trade deals such as NAFTA, which Mr. Sanders argues did irreparable harm to states such as Ohio and Illinois.

Tuesday night was an amazing night for Hillary Clinton, and not just because her wins in Florida and Ohio made Bernie Sanders's path to the nomination nearly impossible.

After Saturday’s Des Moines Register poll showed Rubio at 15 percent, the surprise 23 percent support he received Monday night is more than enough to claim momentum as the race turns to New Hampshire this week where he will make the case that he can be the establishment’s alternative to Trump and Cruz if mainstream Republicans consolidate behind him.

The same observers who’d thought him to be Iowa’s real winner were left grasping and surprised by Rubio’s performance, though, they shouldn’t have.

Rubio’s strategy was always an inside straight—overly reliant on a candidate’s ability to dominate free national media in order to outperform, outwit and eventually outlast a wide field of rivals.

One person in the audience dressed in a blue coat and red tie proudly put a “Make America Great Again” Trump campaign hat on his head and shouted “You lost Marco!!” as Rubio supporters booed.

Although Rubio was a favored candidate by many in the Republican establishment, the Florida senator called for a more principled “new political establishment” that wouldn’t tell young people to “wait their turn” to lead.

“So while it is not God’s plan to be president in 2016 or maybe ever, and while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that I’ve even come this far is evidence of how special America truly is,” he said.

Supporters booed as Rubio congratulated Trump for winning his home state, as the networks declared him the winner shortly after the polls closed in Florida.

"I do call him responsible.

It’s a Midwestern state (good for Sanders) and racially diverse (great for Clinton).

If she wins in Florida and North Carolina, Hillary will have won every Southern state.

The next day in St. Louis, Clinton suggested that Sanders had been absent during her 1993 push for health-care reform.

But polls also show Clinton far ahead in Florida and in North Carolina, setting up the possibility of an outcome parallel to last week’s contests, when Sanders scored a narrow and surprising victory in Michigan, yet Clinton came away with a widened lead in the delegate count because of her resounding victory in Mississippi,” John Wagner and Jose A. DelReal report.

Marco Rubio trailing Donald Trump badly in his home state of Florida – even dropping to third place behind Ted Cruz in one – while Ohio Gov.

“He’s strong on national security, and he’s pro free-trade,” he said, echoing longstanding party orthodoxy.

“I relate to him more, and he has legislative experience,” said Mr. Burke, 33, who wore a gingham shirt and blue blazer and joked that he was one of downtown’s “few young Republicans.”

As he walked to the back of the line, he waved to prominent Washingtonians he knew by name.

7:45: With most of the county conventions reporting, the party leaders and committee members have voted and Ted Cruz took the lion’s share of support.

Marco Rubio took it with 37.3% of the vote and Ohio Governor John Kasich was right behind him at 35.5. Rubio gets 10 of the delegates and Kasich takes 9.

Ted Cruz (Tex.) trailed by substantial margins.

The endorsement by Carson, who last week suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, is perhaps the most high-profile nod for Trump since New Jersey Gov.

He’s actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America," Carson said.

Carson also laid out his argument for the party and country to unify around Trump as the nominee and president — warning Trump's opponents not to try to mess with him.

“Well, first of all, we buried the hatchet," Carson said, referring to Trump’s accusation of Carson being a pathological liar who showed the same destructive tendencies as a child molester.

The fact that Clinton and Sanders made such a promise at all shows just how influential those advocacy efforts have been.

Clinton at one point accused Sanders of supporting legislation that would have led to indefinite detention of people facing deportation, and for standing with Minutemen vigilantes.

The results in Michigan gave Mr. Sanders a big lifeline — and they may be somewhat encouraging to Mr. Trump’s principal challengers, too.

As it stands now, Clinton has 1,221 delegates and Sanders 571.

A victory in the city could provide a helpful political boost, showing Clinton can successfully seize on a hot-button issue or that Sanders can connect with voters in majority-black areas where he’s struggled to find support.

Ahead of Tuesday's two Democratic contests, Clinton had accumulated 1,130 delegates and Sanders 499, including superdelegates.

Sanders used the occasion to pounce -- attacking Clinton, as he has before, for backing the North American Free Trade Agreement and other trade deals.

This made Kansas, in particular, worth watching as both Trump and Cruz worked the state hard immediately after Super Tuesday.

He didn't have one clear nemesis in every state — instead, voters rallied behind Cruz in some states, Rubio in others, and even Kasich in a couple.

He also tried to appeal to heart land voters with his so-far wining message of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, restoring America's military might and repealing and replacing ObamaCare.

Senator Ted Cruz scored decisive wins in the Kansas and Maine caucuses on Saturday, demonstrating his enduring appeal among conservatives as he tried to reel in Donald J. Trump’s significant lead in the Republican presidential race.

Trump fired back a few hours later at a rally in Portland, Maine, bemoaning Romney's "nasty" remarks and dismissing him as a "choke artist" and "failed candidate" who was eager for Trump's endorsement in 2012.

GOP source: Romney "will praise Sen.

“We may be in a position where we have to rally around Ted Cruz as the only way to stop Donald Trump.

He said he’s leading Mr. Trump in polling in Texas and running “neck-and-neck” with him in the other Super Tuesday states.

And so: Trump leads at 49 percent -- his highest numbers in any poll tracked by Real Clear Politics this cycle.

John Kasich, is to at least cut into Trump’s margins on Super Tuesday,” said delegate-allocation expert Jim Ellis, who was a political adviser to then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Mr. Sander hopes to close the gap with Mrs. Clinton in the Palmetto State to blunt her momentum and demonstrate his viability heading into the March contests, when more than enough delegates to clinch the nomination will be at stake.

She capped off months of campaigning here with stops on Friday at a popular soul food restaurant and bakery in Charleston and a rally at a historically black college in Orangeburg, alongside black surrogates including the TV personality Star Jones and Mr. Clyburn.

“The only people who are going to make the change — the history of America, whether it is the workers rights movement, the civil rights movement, the women’s rights movement, the gay rights movement — it is always from the bottom up not the top down,” he said.

Mr. Rubio had spent much of Thursday night’s GOP debate attacking Mr. Trump, notably on his business record, and said without a sizable inheritance, the billionaire businessman would be selling watches in Manhattan.

At times, it appeared that Rubio had taken several lessons from the Trump Academy of the Dramatic Arts, rolling his eyes, waving his hands about for effect, and seeming far more human than the “Marco Roboto” of weeks past. https://twitter.com/zbyronwolf/status/703047626594213888 Even Cruz supporter Glenn Beck said that it was the Florida senator’s best performance yet, giving new life to Rubio’s campaign and, perhaps, reviving hopes Trump would not run away with the Republican nomination.

Instead of attempting to knock each other out in order to lay claim to a dramatic final showdown with Trump, they combined forces to prevent him from having a shot at the nomination.

By most measures, they appeared successful, reducing Trump to a pile of angry talking points.

I have a store that is worth more than him.

He punctuated that message with another insult: "Dope!"

Marco Rubio, who has finished second in each of the last two nominating contests, acknowledged that Trump was ‘the frontrunner and I’m the underdog, but I’ve been an underdog my entire life.’

To be sure, however, Rubio isn’t what most of us, Democrat or Republican, would call moderate.

Look, if I had Marco Rubio’s God-given communication talent I would take that show on the road anywhere I get an invite because he’s got the ability to talk to people.

Rubio’s pitch to be the anti-Trump is that he can unite the GOP heading into a general election, but in his Wednesday morning interview on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel with Stephen K. Bannon, Schlapp said that Rubio’s move to shun conservatives at CPAC raises questions about whether he actually could unite Republicans.

Donald Trump dominates in Nevada

The outcome 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.
