Donald Trump Wins South Carolina Primary as Jeb Bush Quits Race

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump rolled to victory on Saturday in South Carolina in a contest that saw former Florida Governor Jeb Bush drop out, while Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton beat back a strong challenge from Bernie Sanders in Nevada.

The victories by Trump, who is running as an anti-establishment outsider, and Clinton, a preeminent political insider, solidified their positions as the front-runners to win their parties' respective nominations ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election.

The night's most prominent casualty, Bush suffered a distant fourth place finish in the Republican contest and announced he had suspended his campaign, ending his dream of becoming a third Bush president after his father and brother.

"The people of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have spoken, and I really respect their decision," an emotional Bush said in Columbia. He finished far out of the running in each of the first three states.

    1. that would be a foolish move by the rnc. Trump has st himself up well. He struck a deal with the RNC that he can't lose unless he loses the support of the masses.

  5. I'm sure Trump is lying but at least he is telling lies I want to hear. No doubt we need a break from the same song and dance.. Taxing the Rich, pay raise to middle class, blah blah blah. Bernie is saying some of the same things Potus said in 07-16. YouTube it if you don't believe me. Trump 2016.

  9. 11:45 / 2:20 - if the RNC doesn't coalesce around whoever, they're giving up the election!

    Either of the dummocrats remaining will plunge this country in to a total cesspool...just look at Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit if you want examples!
