"Hillary Clinton has secured a big win over Bernie Sanders in the South Carolina primary, the latest battleground in the race to be Democratic presidential nominee.

Victory for Mrs Clinton was widely expected but it gives her momentum ahead of the "Super Tuesday" primaries in 11 states this week."

Looks almost certain that Hilary Clinton, subject to "Super Tuesday" results will win the Democratic nomination.
A two horse race for the Presidential election, Clinton V Trump is almost a certainty, Clinton is odds on to become the next US President, however I would not write off Trump as yet, God help America indeed should the polls thus far prove wrong. !!

With results announced so far, Trump wins 6 primaries, Ted Cruz 2 and Rubio 1. With one result yet to be confirmed it looks like Trump will make it 7 out of the 11 primaries.

Clinton takes 6 and Sanders wins 4 , Massachusetts looks also a Clinton win giving her 7 out of the 11 primaries.

Almost certain now that both Clinton and Trump will win their respective party's nomination.

Vermont has gone to Trump, just been announced, making it 7 out of 11 .
Almost certain that Trump will be the Republicans choice to run against Clinton in November.

Actually it's not over yet...

Because superdelegates kind of operate in a world of their own — again, they're not bound by the results of any caucuses or primaries — it might be better to set them aside when assessing the impact of Super Tuesday. If we only look at pledged delegates, then, the total number of Democratic delegates available after Super Tuesday is about 64 percent, not 75.

All of this is a long way of saying that after Super Tuesday, more than half of the available delegates will still be available. This means that, from a mathematical standpoint, it will be impossible for any candidate in either party to clinch the nomination on Super Tuesday. Even if Clinton and Trump managed to win literally every single delegate at play on Super Tuesday — which would never happen — they'd still be short of the 50-percent-plus-one needed to actually win the nomination outright.

Make no mistake: Super Tuesday is a very important day for just about every candidate in this race, and for some, it will be their last chance to make a serious play at the nomination. It won't, however, hand anybody the nomination. There's still a lot more of this primary to go.

We could still see a Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders nominations...

All of us, without exemption, receive out news from the media, tv etc. So far I have not heard a single political analyst predicting any other result apart from Clinton and Trump being the winners and prospective nominees of their respective parties. A week, or in this case a few months are very long in political terms, so anything can happen.

Bookmakers have a Clinton v Trump for the presidential elections with Clinton odds on.

Could this change over the months, of course it could but nobody knows what can develop in the long process yet to come.

My own prediction is in line with analysts, in that the Clinton will be the Democrats nominee and Trump the Republicans.

Im not fond of Trump or Clinton, but it will nevertheless be an interesting race to the Whitehouse.

Fuhrer ...Trump!!

He is aggressive, argumentative, highly accentuated ego, but a very very clever man, extremely decisive, and a billionaire.
Trump is no idiot, he plans ahead and we may just see some "surprises" unfolding over the next few months.
He also likes ....Putin :lol:
