hat he is the GOP's national front-runner and has the most credible path to capture the party's
nomination.
Clinton wins NevadaIn Nevada's Democratic caucuses, meanwhile, Hillary Clinton deployed an intricately built
organizational machine to register a much needed and stabilizing victory over Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders, slowing her rival's surge following his stunning rout in the New Hampshire primary.Her victory, and the looming Democratic South Carolina primary next week in which she is a favorite,
doesn't mean the end for the more liberal Sanders, against whom she seems fated to fight in long war of
attrition. But it was Clinton's best night for weeks in a crisis-scarred campaign and indicated her
firewall of minority voters is still intact and raises the chances that she will eventually claim the
nomination and head on to a possible battle for the ages between her own establishment political
dynasty and Trump.
At 11:30 p.m. ET with 99% of the vote counted in the Republican primary, Trump was in the lead at
32.5%, with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in an effective tie on 22.5% and
22.3% respectively. Bush trailed in fourth at 7.9% just ahead of Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former
neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
On the Democratic side, with 88% of the vote counted, Clinton held an unassailable lead with 52.6%
compared to 47.4% for Sanders.
Of course, both parties have awarded only a small portion of the delegates that will ultimately be
needed to clinch the nomination.
But as he addressed supporters on Saturday night, Trump seemed to appreciate something had changed.
"Let's put this thing away," Trump roared.
For so much of the wild 2016 campaign, the conventional wisdom suggested that Trump, running a
campaign based on insults, vague vows to Make America Great Again and laboring under a
questionable conservative pedigree, will fade.
But after his two massive primary wins, that's no longer the case.
South Carolina, after all, has long prided itself on picking Republican nominees. It has handed victory
to the eventual Republican standard bearer every cycle since 1980 -- with the exception of Newt
Gingrich in 2012.
And Trump can now bask in the fact that every Republican who has won both New Hampshire and
South Carolina has gone on to claim the nomination.
Symbolic overtonesHis victory Saturday night came with huge symbolic overtones. The state's collection of national
security conservatives, evangelicals, tea party voters and more moderate establishment conservatives
offers a fair microcosm of the GOP itself.
Trump now looks even more formidable as he enters the 13 Super Tuesday states once he has
navigated the Nevada GOP caucuses Tuesday with contests looming in places like Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia and Texas where he polls consistently well.
And there was more proof that Trump's bare-knuckle, profane and scorched earth campaign style
cannot hurt him -- in fact, it's drawing supporters to him.
After all, in South Carolina, Trump shattered GOP taboos by accusing the last Republican President,
George W. Bush, of lying to the public about the Iraq War and failing to prevent the September 11,
2001, attacks.He also feuded openly with Pope Francis and cited an apocryphal story about a U.S. general who
purportedly dipped bullets in pigs' blood to execute Muslim prisoners a century ago in an effort to deter
Islamic terrorism.
It made no difference. Trump converted his poll numbers to a 10-point primary victory, suggesting that
he may be even more impervious to damaging his own fortunes than the Teflon president himself,
Ronald Reagan.
He summed up his own hardball campaign strategy as he addressed his supporters, reflecting that even
for someone who styles himself as the ultimate tough guy, running for president is a hard business.
"It's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, it's vicious, it's beautiful. When you win, it's beautiful," Trump said
Saturday night as he declared victory.
Another factor in Trump's favor: The opposition to him remains split. The bitter fracas between Rubio
and Cruz ended with each of the young pretenders to the next generation of conservative leadershiptaking nearly a quarter of the electorate.

That means there is little incentive for either to drop out even though they are splitting the conservative
vote.
Cruz billed himself as the only true conservative left in the race.
"We are the only campaign that has beaten, and can beat, Donald Trump," he said.
Rubio celebrates a comeback
A jubilant Rubio bounced back after his disastrous performance in New Hampshire to proclaim that theGOP race was now a three-man affair. His campaign expects to pick up disenfranchised Bush
supporters and believes it will now start to emerge as the only genuine alternative to Trump.
"If it is God's will that I should serve as the 45th president ... history will say that on this night in South
Carolina, we took the first step forward in the beginning of a new American century," Rubio said,
delivering what amounted to a victory speech despite finishing well behind Trump just as he had
after his third-place spot in the Iowa caucuses.
But though Cruz won Iowa and Rubio appears to have the kind of crossover appeal that could unite
several blocs of the Republican Party, it was still unclear where exactly the two Cuban-American
senators can stop Trump.
It turns out, meanwhile, that former first lady Barbara Bush had it right many months ago, when she
said in an unguarded moment: "We've had enough Bushes."
Though she eventually came around to her son's campaign and was on the stump with him in its
twilight, Jeb Bush's mother had put her finger on the fierce anti-establishment mood that was not then
evident but would shape the 2016 race.
With his tearful wife Columba who had never wanted her husband to run at his side, Bush's
political career came to an end in a state that had resurrected the hopes of his father and brother in their
presidential campaigns.
But he did not leave without a repudiation of the kind of politics that Trump has introduced into the
Republican Party and which is so alien from that practiced by his own family for decades.
"Despite what you might have heard, ideas matter, policy matters," Bush said in making a clear implicit
case that Trump was not qualified to be president.
"I firmly believe the American people must entrust this office to someone who understands that
whoever holds it is a servant, not the master, someone who will commit to that service with honor and
decency."
But after Saturday night, Bush-style politics is in the past. And the future may belong to Trump.
