Trump storms ‘Super Tuesday’ taking six states as he steamrolls towards the White house


DONALD Trump steamed towards capturing the Republican nomination in his bid for the White House during ‘Super Tuesday’.
Donald Trump
   SWEPT: Trump took six states in 'Super Tuesday'
The billionaire hotelier vowed to “go after” Democrat frontrunner Hilary Clinton.
Clinton also pulled in a series of wins on the biggest day of state-by-state primary voting.
Trump said: “I am a unifier. Once we get all this finished, I'm going after one person - Hillary Clinton.”

   JUGULAR: Trump said he's 'going for' Hillary Clinton
US networks projected Trump and Clinton won six states each, while 12 states were voting.
Trump swept up Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Virginia.
His Democratic counterpart took Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Clinton, 68, laid into Trump, saying: ”The stakes in this election have never been higher and the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower.
"Trying to divide America between us and them is wrong, and we're not going to let it work."
Trump, 69, worried many Republicans with his proposals, such as building a wall along the US southern border with Mexico.
Sanders
   DETERMINED: Sanders said he will not let the 'Trumps of the world divide us'
He also proposed deporting 11 million illegal immigrants and slapping a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
But while his campaign has confounded many Republican leaders, the New York real estate developer cites his high poll numbers as proof he is not dividing the party but expanding its ranks.
He preached unity as he looked beyond the day's voting to campaign in Ohio, which votes on March 15.
With a string of victories on Tuesday, Trump would expand his strong lead over Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, Ohio Governor John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
