Super Tuesday escalated confrontation within the US

One of the most important stages of the presidential race in the United States came to an end. Residents of states that voted during Super Tuesday made their choice. On this day, delegates were chosen in large and populous states: Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and others. Super Tuesday is the day when many things become clear: who is the favorite and who is falling down the pecking order. This year nothing changed.

Trump's Triumph

The presidential candidate of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, won in all states except Texas (Ted Cruz, who is representing Texas in the Senate, won by a small margin), Oklahoma (Ted Cruz) and Minnesota (Marco Rubio). Obviously, Americans are choosing to turn towards conservatism; Trump is largely supported because he alienated himself from the world financial elite that currently controls Washington. In fact, today he is the only independent candidate.

Clinton vs. Sanders

The results of the democratic primaries are even more predictable: Hillary Clinton won in 7 states out of 11. The wife of former US President Bill Clinton represents the interests of global financial elites and is considered as the political antipode of Donald Trump. Clinton's support from US liberals is growing every day, and therefore Bernie Sanders is losing his chance of winning.

Forecast

Experts from the Republican Party believe that it would be more profitable for them if Sanders became the favorite in the democratic race: on the election in November, his chances of victory would be minimal against the charismatic Trump. However, more and more facts indicate that at the end of the year the future of America will be decided in a fight between conservative Donald Trump and ultraliberal Hillary Clinton, and thus tension and polarization in society will increase.
