Donald Trump is projected to score a victory in Georgia Tuesday. The win comes in a state where evangelicals make up a big part of the Republican electorate and adds to Trump’s momentum in the South. The networks called his victory at 7 p.m. EST, after the polls closed.

Trump was polling well ahead of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) in Georgia going into Super Tuesday. Trump was at 39 percent, according to TPM’s PollTracker Average, while Rubio and Cruz lagged behind at 21 percent and 18 percent, respectively.

Rubio’s late-in-the-game assault on Trump did little to weaken Trump’s support in the state. Trump’s win in Georgia also comes a day after a group of African-American students were ejected from a campus rally for Trump in the state.

  3. Poor gop…they lose with any of the remaining five. Never saw such a pitiful set of candidates!! And, the worst one is winning!!! What does that say about the gop?

  4. From CNN:
    “There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have. You take a
    look at Palm Beach Florida, I built the Mar a Lago club, totally open to
    everybody. A club that frankly set a new standard in clubs and a new
    standard in Palm Beach. And I’ve gotten great credit for it,” Trump
    said. “That is totally open to everybody.”

    One club and he therefore has done more for equality than Martin Luther King
    I has a sad.

  5. Then lied about building Mar-A-Lago. Built in the 1920s my the Post Toasties heiress. All Drumpf did was convert a private residence into a club.
