Debate Recap

Last night's Republican debate thankfully had a lot less vitriol and a good discussion of the issues. There were clear policy differences, but the exchanges avoided the schoolyard taunts that have dominated previous debates.

Perhaps the best example of the new-found civility came when Donald Trump tried to explain that while he was pro-Israel, he would, nevertheless, maintain a position of neutrality between the Israelis and Palestinians during any peace talks.

The Results: Democrats

Bernie Sanders stunned the pundits and proved the pollsters wrong yesterday. The last poll before the Michigan primary gave Hillary Clinton a whopping 27-point lead.

Sanders' voters ignored the polls and gave him a 50% to 48% victory over Hillary. One commentator said the Michigan polling was "among the greatest polling errors in primary history."

But Mrs. Clinton had some good news, too. She won the Mississippi primary by a lopsided margin of 83% to 17%.

Four More Today

Republican voters in Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan and Mississippi are going to the polls today to cast their ballots in the presidential primaries. Democrats are voting today in Michigan and Mississippi.

Michigan is the biggest prize at stake for both parties. Most polls show Donald Trump holding double-digit leads over his nearest competitor, although one poll did find John Kasich narrowly leading. It is worth noting, however, that in recent contests, Trump has underperformed at the ballot box compared to the polls.

Weekend Results: Democrats

Democrats went to the polls over the weekend in Kansas, Louisiana, Maine and Nebraska. Bernie Sanders won three states, while Hillary Clinton won only Louisiana.

But Clinton's crushing win in the Bayou State (71% to 23%) offset her losses elsewhere. Clinton and Sanders essentially split the delegates up for grabs -- 64 for Sanders and 62 for Clinton. In the race for the Democrat presidential nomination, Clinton leads the overall delegate count 1,130 to 499.

Super Tuesday

From Alaska to Alabama, voters are going to the polls today to cast their ballots in the biggest presidential primary contests to date. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appear to be in the driver's seat in their respective races.

While Bernie Sanders is vowing to fight on through all fifty primaries, Hillary Clinton remains the heavy favorite to clinch her party's nomination. For Republicans, the future is less clear.

South Carolina Results

As was widely predicted, Hillary Clinton won Saturday's Democrat primary in South Carolina. What no one predicted was the lopsided result: Clinton 74%, Sanders 26%.

Clinton's victory was impressive. She carried every single county. According to exit polls, she won every major demographic except one: Millennials or voters under 30. And she crushed Sanders with black voters: 86% to 14%.

Debate Recap

The gloves came off at last night's Republican debate in Houston, Texas. Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were eager to knock Donald Trump off his perch as the GOP frontrunner. While I am glad they had a spirited debate, I really don't think it helps when everyone talks at the same time.

Here's how the Associated Press described the debate:
