Analyzing the GOP presidential landscape after Trump chalks up another win in the Nevada caucuses

After handily securing wins in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, it was all about the Donald once again Tuesday night.

Just over 45 percent of registered Nevada Republicans caucused for the New York real estate mogul. Marco Rubio finished a distant second, just shy of 24 percent of the vote, and Ted Cruz came in third with 21 percent.

Trump’s win in The Silver State make the climb back to the top that much harder for the rest of the field. Super Tuesday is looming large and could still swing the delegate balance, but it won’t be an easy path back to the top for any of the remaining candidates.

What are the implications of Trump’s win in Nevada? What changes about the lay of the land for the GOP candidates? Do you think there’s any chance Super Tuesday will swing the balance of delegates to another candidate?
