Presidential Race As of March 31st

                     Many things have happened since that last blog I added. People have dropped out and new alliances have been formed. One of which being Chris Christie the Governor of New Jersey. He announced his support for Trump earlier in the race not long after he had dropped out.
                     Other candidates from the Republican Presidential race have also dropped out. Both Ben Carson and Marco Rubio left the face. Rubio left after losing his state of Florida to Donald Trump. Ben Carson dropped out because of his lack of support. But it didn't take long for Carson to give support to the Trump campaign as well. A for Marco Rubio and other establishment Republicans, they have refused to completely give their support to the candidate in the lead, whom as of right now is Donald Trump.
                     The candidates remaining for the Republican side are Donald Trump with 736 delegates has the most and is the lead for the republican primary. That lead almost doubles the person who comes in second place as of right now. The second person in the standings is Ted Cruz who is also not a favorite in the republican establishment with 463 delegates. The third person who is way behind the other two candidates is John Kasich who was 143 delegates. also Kasich has less candidates then Rubio when he dropped out.
                     Both of the remaining candidates on the democratic side are still running. Even though Clinton had a substantial lead on Sanders, he still has a chance if he were to sweep multiple states coming up. But in my prediction the next candidates to advance to the general election are going to be Clinton, and Trump as they are sweeping the nation by storm.

Super Tuesday

                 Super Tuesday took place on the Tuesday, March 1st. The results show over all that Both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton were the winners of this Super Tuesday. These results show a massive over all favor to these candidates. Many of these states have over forty delegates which pushes both candidates closer to obtaining the nomination for their party.

                 Donald Trump pulled away with a win with Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Vermont, Tennessee, and Virginia. That puts his number of delegates to 319 just for this Super Tuesday and doesn't count the other five states that have already had their polling. As far as other candidates, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were the only other ones to win any states during this election. Ted Cruz won Alaska, Oklahoma, and and Texas which is a huge win for the Cruz campaign winning 155 delegates alone from there and an overall 266 delegates from the race. Rubio only won one state which was Minnesota leaving him with a less but still big win of 110 delegates.

                 Clinton pulled away with more states and more delegates than Sanders did. Clinton captured Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and left the elections with 1,052 delegates from this race alone. Sanders captured four states tough which gave him a good hold winning Colorado, Minnesota, Vermont, Oklahoma and gave him 427 delegates. Sanders needs to pick up his campaign because once Clinton get 1,237 she secures a spot in the actual race for the presidency. 

                 This relates to AP Gov and Politics because we are constantly learning how elections work. We also look at the polls avidly because obviously every state is important and so is every presidential election. Every day history is being made with today's society and now we access it instantly due to technology and the media.
