Reactions to Super Tuesday
Bernie 2016
Sanders Statement on Super Tuesday wins in
Vermont, Oklahoma, Colorado and Minnesota
“The political revolution has begun.
“Ten months ago, when our campaign started, not many people thought we would get this far or do this well. Not many people outside of Vermont even knew who I was. That was then.
“Tonight, voters in Colorado, Oklahoma and Minnesota have joined the people of Vermont in showing America that a political revolution is spreading across our country, that people want to take on the billionaire class and make our government work for all Americans and not just the top 1 percent.
“Today, we head to Maine and Michigan. Our campaign is just getting started. We’re going all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and beyond.
“Tomorrow, I look forward to a contest this fall between democracy and demagoguery, between ordinary Americans and the oligarchs. I look forward to the chance for our people-powered campaign to show Donald Trump that the United States of America belongs to all of us and not just billionaire bullies.”
ed. note. Interesting how both parties lead by talking about what is happening in the other party...
Democratic National Committee
DNC Chair Statement on Super Tuesday
WASHINGTON — DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement on Super Tuesday:“As expected, tonight Donald Trump continued to tighten his grip on the Republican nomination. The GOP establishment can try to run away from him, but they were the architects of the ugly and divisive politics that are fueling his rise. Tonight’s results mean that a man who wavers on whether or not to disavow the KKK is one step closer to becoming the Republican Party’s standard-bearer. It’s hard to imagine an erratic and irrational demagogue like Donald Trump picking Supreme Court justices.
“Furthermore, the Republican Party’s obsession with economically devastating tax cuts for the few at the very top, and their constant obstructionism, have alienated the vast majority of Americans. It’s becoming clearer every day that we must elect a Democrat as the 45th President of the United States to keep Republicans from dragging our country backward.
“As results continue to come in from across the country, I want to congratulate both of our Democratic presidential candidates and their campaigns for their hard work engaging and energizing voters throughout the Super Tuesday states. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have campaigned directly on the issues that matter most to the American people. They’ve offered smart and substantive visions for moving our country forward, and they continue to show that they have the right priorities and the temperament to serve as commander in chief.”

Republican National Committee
RNC Statement On Super Tuesday
WASHINGTON – Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following
statement on Super Tuesday:
“While Democrats have seen turnout drop across the board, the record
number of Republicans who have gone to the polls in each state shows
the country is ready for change after eight years of failed leadership
from President Obama. Democrats simply aren’t being energized by
Hillary Clinton’s calculated campaign to maintain the status quo or
Bernie Sanders’ fringe calls for a socialist ‘revolution.’
“The Democrat Primary has become a race to the far left between an
embattled frontrunner facing an FBI investigation and a self-avowed
socialist who continues to win states and outraise the Clinton machine.
At the end of the day, Democrats are saddled with two fundamentally
flawed candidates destined to fail in a general election and a message
that isn’t resonating or in line with the majority of Americans.”
