Conservative commentator Matt Drudge says the Republican nomination race is already over and that Donald Trump will take it all, even as four other candidates are still in the race.
Minutes after billionaire Donald Trump was projected the winner of Nevada’s Republican caucuses Tuesday night, handing him his third consecutive victory since voting began in Iowa, Drudge declared him “the nominee” on the banner of his highly-trafficked website, the Drudge Report.
He later said on Twitter that very little uncertainty surrounds Trump’s path to the nomination.
Above its pro-Trump banner, the Drudge Report also linked back to a report by The Weekly Standard that said Trump has won more votes than former GOP nominee Mitt Romney had at this point in 2012 and “many more” than Arizona Sen. John McCain won as a candidate for the Republican nomination in 2008.
Trump’s victory in Nevada gives him a great deal of momentum heading into next week, when 12 states will hold their nominating contests on March 1. The bombastic businessman will travel to seven of the 12 states between now and next Tuesday to continue to rally support ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries.
