Intrest Groups Wage War

Liberal interest groups are trying to force Senate Republicans to consider President Obama's supreme court nomination. Groups are trying to not say the names of who they would like to see nominated though. They are instead attacking the majority leader for vowing to not take any confirmation hearings. There is no way of telling how much these groups may spend to try and get Obama's nomination to be considered. Groups are saying they "want to get this process moving." The ALF-CIO is insisting they will refuse to consider Obama's nominee. They are hoping to set up a republican for the presidency.The liberal intrest groups are fearful that if president Obama nominates a republican that the liberal side could become divided. There are plans for a digital campaign, directed towards republican senators, to try and convince them to consider the nominee. The senate saying that they will not hold hearings is a direct violation of the constitution.

Why Trump could loose but most likely cant

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/upshot/results-show-why-trump-can-lose-and-why-he-probably-wont.html?WT.mc_id=2016-MARCH-OUTBRAIN_AUD_DEV-0301-0331&WT.mc_ev=click&ad-keywords=AUDDEVREMARK&_r=0


Super Tuesday results show that Donald Trump is the front runner for the Republican nomination. It shows that he still can loose, but he may not. His opponents are not down and out just yet.  He does have the popular vote but he is not too far out in front. But not that the race has been on for a good while now, experts believe that Trump will not face an opponent that could endanger him not gaining the nominations. Rubio may have won the second most states but he is coming in third place for the amount of delegates he has won. Cruz has done well in the south, where as Trump did not do as hot. With only a short amount of time left in the race it is not likely that another candidate will be able to gain as much support as Trump currently has.

 With only a few months left Trump seems to be the front runner for the nomination. His opponents have yet to gain more support than him. Its unlikely that anyone to join the race now will gain as much or more support than Trump. It may be too early to say but it seems that Trump may have the nomination in the bag.
