They are seeing more absentee ballots than they did in 2008 donald trump and ted cruz are still in the lead here, but we saw the florida campaigns really pushing to get lastminute votes. Bright and early 7 00 a. M. , jeb bush rolled into a Greenville Church for a last minute meetandgreet, but what he portends with a Trump Victory is jeb bush he can t be president.

It really comes down to bush coming down in third. Angela we will see what happens to. Adrian, thank you. Here s a look at the results in the nevada caucuses.
