Donald Trump Projected To Win In Georgia

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.

  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.
