Super Tuesday 4/19

With Trump and Clinton taking a huge lead Tuesday is New York, it sets Sanders and cruz behind. New york is a winner take all state as well.
    That leaves other candidates with a large gap to fill over Clinton and Trump. Trump has 845 delegates while Clinton has 1428 delegates. Both are in the lead to head to the general election.
     Other candidates following the coattails of Trump and Clinton are Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, and John kasick. But as of right now it looks like Trump and Clinton are going to the parties candidates to go to the general election.
       The reason this relates to AP government is because we constantly. With a lame duck president and lame duck supreme Court. Everything we learn if to help prepare us for to stay not only informed but active in politics.

Wisconsin Super Tuesday

Wisconsin Super Tuesday Primary

             On Tuesday, April 5th Wisconsin held its primary to see who would win the 48 Republican delegates, and the 86 democratic delegates. At the end of the night both polls were surprising to me, but to someone who knows a little more then I its probably wasn't as surprising. Both races were somewhat close to one another on who would win the state.

             In the Republican primary the person to walk away with the win was Senator Ted Cruz with 48% of the votes, and 42 delegates. Coming in second was Donald Trump with 35%, and only gaining 6 delegates. Which isn't a set back for Trump as many people believe he will definitely be the next presidential candidate for the republican general election. Coming in third place was the only other john Kasich with 14% gaining no delegates. 

            In the democratic Primary Sanders gained the majority of the votes in Wisconsin pulling a really important win out from under Hillary Clinton. Sanders won with 56.6% gaining majority of 48 delegates. Clinton came almost exactly 13 points behind Sanders and won 38 delegates. This was an important win for the Sanders campaign and keeps him going on to the next couple of states. Lets see who wins the democratic side, because to many others contrary belief he has still stayed in the race thus far with Clinton. Maybe he could go to the presidential general race and square up, one-on-one, with the republican candidate.
