Democrats are facing off on Super Tuesday, a group of more than a dozen primaries and caucuses in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and American Samoa.
Predictions from the search engine Bing had Clinton sweeping all Super Tuesday states except one. Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders is likely to win his home state of Vermont.
Early results showed Hillary taking Georgia and Virginia.
Even Trump’s GOP rivals are expecting a big night for the billionaire.
“Nobody’s going to win but Trump,” Republican candidate John Kasich told CNN on Thursday.
“Right now, Donald Trump has enormous momentum,” Cruz said Friday. “If he continues with that momentum and powers through and wins everywhere on Super Tuesday, he could easily be unstoppable.”
Fresh off her sweeping victory in the South Carolina primary, Clinton dominated the races, according to a CNN poll that had her grabbing 55 percent.

For Democrats, there are 865 delegates at stake in a dozen states. To win the party nominations, a candidate needs 2,383 delegates.
Clinton is expected to bring in at least 200 more delegates than Sanders on Tuesday, as polls show Clinton with solid leads in the South. Fives states are said to be securely in Clinton’s camp: Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas and Virginia. Sanders will have a better shot in Vermont, Minnesota, Colorado and Massachusetts. FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver says Sanders must do well in Oklahoma and Tennessee to stay in the running for the nomination.
In urging supporters to get out and vote, Hillary’s website had a sample pre-written form college students could send to friends and family members, urging them to consider the candidate’s plan on college affordability.
Sanders, too, urged people to vote, reminding supporters it’s time to take the country back from the billionaires.
Even if Sanders performs well, he may still face insurmountable odds against Clinton. That’s because 712 of the 4,763 delegates who vote at the Democratic Party convention are superdelegates – establishment insiders who are free to lend their support to the candidate of their choice irrespective of the vote. As WND reported earlier this month, despite being the victim of a popular vote landslide in the New Hampshire primary, Clinton was actually the winner when it came to the number of delegates earned.
Early results called for Clinton winning in Virginia and Georgia, with Sanders taking Vermont, as expected.
