Donald Trump did so well in the Nevada Republican presidential caucuses Tuesday night that he got more votes than the second- and third-place candidates combined. In what marks Trump's third win on the campaign trail, he snagged 46 percent of the vote in Nevada, while second-place Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) got 24 percent and third-place Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got 21 percent.
Not only did Trump handily trounce all other candidates in Nevada, he did so with the support of virtually every demographic group. Preliminary entrance poll data shows that Trump won every age group, every education group, both genders, and all racial and ethnic groups.
