CNN/ORC Poll: Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton leading in Florida & Ohio Polls
SORRY RUBIO AND KASICH, IF YOU CAN’T WIN YOUR OWN HOME STATE, GET OUT!!!
According to a recent CNN poll Donald Trump is beating Rubio in Florida and Kasich in Ohio. In Ohio, Trump is ahead with 41% to Kasich’s 35%, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in third at 15% and Rubio in fourth with 7%. And in Florida, Trump holds and even bigger lead with 40% to Rubio’s 24%, with Cruz at 19% and Kasich at 5%.
Donald Trump is leading two of his Republican presidential rivals in their home states, topping Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida and Gov. John Kasich in Ohio, new CNN/ORC polls show.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is far ahead of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in both states.
In Ohio, Trump holds 41% to Kasich’s 35%, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in third at 15% and Rubio in fourth with 7%.
And in Florida, Trump holds 40% to Rubio’s 24%, with Cruz at 19% and Kasich at 5%.
The results come less than a week from the March 15 contests in Florida and Ohio, as well as Illinois, North Carolina and Missouri. The primaries in 99-delegate Florida and 66-delegate Ohio are particularly critical for Republicans, since both are winner-take-all.
In both states, large majorities say that if their home-state candidate doesn’t win, he should drop out: 71% say Kasich should exit if he loses Ohio, while 66% say Rubio should depart if he loses Florida.

Republican 2016 Priamries: Trump Wins Michigan, Mississippi & Hawaii … Cruz Wins Idaho and Rubio Shut Out of Delagates
SORRY MARCO, ITS TIME TO PACK IT IN AFTER LAST NIGHT’S SHUT OUT …
Last night’s “not-so Super Tuesday” saw Donald Trump pick up victories in Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii as Sen. Ted Cruz won big in Idaho and came in a strong and surprise second in Michigan. By the nights end, Sen. Marco Rubio finished a poor third and fourth in every primary/caucus and did not pick up one single delegate. Sorry Marco, time to pack it up and go home before you embarrass yourself in Florida. The same holds true with John Kasich as he appears to be losing in the Ohio polls as well.
As the Classic Sesame Street song goes One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn’t belong …
Donald Trump advanced his lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, winning Mississippi and Michigan, the biggest states up for grabs Tuesday in the increasingly bitter GOP primary contest. Later in the evening, he also scored a victory in the Hawaii caucuses. Meanwhile, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, vying to make it a one-on-one race with Trump, won Idaho.
Unlike last week’s Super Tuesday contests, just 150 delegates were up for grabs Tuesday — and all were awarded proportionally, suggesting that the results would not dramatically alter the current standing of the GOP race, where Trump enjoys a healthy lead over Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.
But for Trump, Tuesday’s wins were a significant psychological victory for his insurgent campaign, affirming that he retains his momentum even after days of withering attacks from rivals and members of a Republican establishment newly determined to derail his bid for the party’s nomination

Bernie Sanders Stuns Hillary Clinton and Wins Democrat Michigan Primary 50% – 48%
Hillary feels the Bern in Michigan …
In a stunning turn, or is the “bern” of events last night, self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sander defeated Hillary Clinton in the Michigan Democrat primary, 50% to 48%.As the Politico opines, the outcome in Michigan is significant for Sanders because it demonstrates an ability to compete in diverse primary states. Could Hillary Clinton really be in a dog fight the rest of the way with Sanders? Most likely Hillary will win, however, the longer this goes, the more contempt Sanders voters will have for the presumptive, establishment nominee and may not show up to vote in November.
This is truly an incredible defeat for Clinton and a motivating victory for Team Sanders as prior to the Michigan primaries, Clinton was leading in the polls by between 20 and 30 points. OUCH!!!
Bernie Sanders scored one of the biggest victories of his underdog campaign Tuesday by beating Hillary Clinton in Michigan, a delegate-rich state where she led by double digits in the closing days before voting.
The 2-point upset came after both candidates invested time and money in the state, and fuels the argument from Sanders’ camp that he should not be written off after Clinton’s earlier wins.
The outcome in Michigan is significant for Sanders because it demonstrates an ability to compete in diverse primary states — counteracting a knock frequently leveled at him by Clinton allies that he has only performed well in largely white states.
“What tonight means is the Bernie Sanders campaign, the people’s revolution that we are talking about, the political revolution we have been talking about, is strong in every part of the country,” Sanders told reporters in Miami before the race was called. He predicted success in upcoming states, including in the West.
How on Earth is Clinton struggling to put a socialist away in the primary? With her loss in Michigan, could Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania be in play as well? Check out the Democratic Primary Exit Poll Analysis:

Woman Climbs on Top of 18 Wheeler and Dances Naked after Pedestrian Acident on Highway 290 in Houston, TX Area … Later Arrested (VIDEO)
TAKING SHUT UP AND DANCE TO THE EXTREME …
Just when you had thought you had seen it all, following an pedestrian accident on Highway 290 in Harris County, TX, a woman climbed on top of a big 18-wheeler rig at Highway 290 at Huffmeister Road and began to dance naked. The accident and bizarre ordeal caused the freeway to shut down in both directions. Police deputies were alerted to the incident just before 9 a.m. for a psychiatric call. Hmm, ya think!!! When the police arrived a woman was undressing and could be seen on Houston Transtar cameras dancing on top of a tractor trailer. According to Thomas Gilliland, Harris County Sheriff’s Office public information officer, “She was talking about all sorts of things: Wall Street, the CIA, aliens.”
A woman undressed and climbed on top of a big rig on a major highway in the Houston area Monday.
The incident, which was captured on video, took place after a pedestrian had apparently been struck on Highway 290 in Harris County, local television station KPRC reported.
It was unclear if the woman was involved in the collision, or why she climbed on top of the truck.
Video showed the woman sitting, standing, and even dancing at various times as she remained on the cab of the 18-wheeler.
