2016 Presidential Race Update: Trump Says Battle Will Be Between Him and Clinton as Bush Drops Out

By Marvie Basilan, Christian Post Contributor Sunday, February 21, 2016

Following his sweeping win in South Carolina, Donald Trump has never been more confident as he said the presidential race will now be against him and Hillary Clinton.

In an interview with Jake Tapper for CNN's "State of the Union," he said that with his win in South Carolina's caucus and Clinton's win in Nevada's primary, the presidential battle will only be between him and the former Secretary of State. "Frankly, if she gets indicted, that's the only way she's going to be stopped. I think it's going to be Hillary and myself," he said.

He went on to state that he will win in states that the Republican people "don't even think of," adding that he will definitely take control of Michigan and New York. Aside from his expectations, he said he is getting a lot of support from the African-American community. He said 58 percent of African-American youth are unemployed and he feels sad about their situation.

Meanwhile, Jeb Bush has decided to stop his run, marking another fallout in the Republican party. Bush has not showed strong figures in previous polls and in the previous caucuses. Despite his monetary support and a heritage that puts him among the supposedly most probable winners in politics, he seemed to lack the appeal that previous candidates from his family had.

The former Florida governor has butted heads with Trump along the way, calling each other out on varying propaganda and even going more personal at some points. While Bush can go head-to-head against the businessman in terms of financial support in campaigns, it is obvious that Trump has appealed to the people more than the brother and son of previous presidents.

According to U.S.A Today, insights about Bush's run are very much varied, especially for those who believe in his capabilities and the changes he can possibly bring to the United States, but a lot of people believe that he lacks the strength and appeal that a leader should have.
