Donald Trump Wins Nevada Caucuses

Controversial and Billionaire republican presidential candidate Donald Trump achieved a third straight win in the race for the Republican nomination for president in Nevada caucuses.

He now heads into next week's Super Tuesday vote in 11 states with his rivals struggling to find a way to stop him.

Entrance polls in Nevada revealed voters were once again angry at the political establishment and wanted an outsider to run the country.

Trump told supporters: "If you had listened to the pundits we weren't going to win too much but now we are winning, winning, winning and the country will soon be winning, winning, winning."
He listed victories amongst evangelical Christians, Latinos, highly educated and poorly educated. "I love the poorly educated," he said.

The victory was marred by allegations of voting irregularities, caucus officials wearing Trump campaign clothing and a shortage of ballot papers.

There were chaotic scenes at one caucus location in a Las Vegas High School - one woman suffered a facial injury in the scrum - but it also featured a huge turn-out of Trump supporters.
