Trump Dominates

As you know, Donald Trump dominated Super Tuesday, winning 14 out of 15 states and capturing 722 delegates to Nikki Haley’s 46 delegates.

While Haley won Vermont, she lost two other states (Massachusetts and Virginia) that some commentators thought she might win. They weren’t even close. Haley lost Massachusetts by 23 points, and she lost Virginia by 28 points.

A look at the Virginia exit poll explains why.

• White evangelicals backed Trump over Haley by 79% to 20%.
• Immigration was the top issue among Virginia voters. Those who said they were most concerned about immigration backed Trump by 78% to 20% for Haley.
• And while Trump won every age bracket, he performed best with young voters (ages 18 to 29), winning 64% to 31% for Haley.

It’s worth noting that Nikki Haley spent $114 million but only won Vermont and Washington, D.C., while Trump’s campaign spent a fraction of that amount to win all the other primaries to date.
