From Interview with Kristen Roberts from Politico on American votes 2016 · · TRT World
“Ted Cruz set up Super Tuesday as the most important day on the calendar for him; it's most of the southern states of America and he has theoretically very strong support in the south because the south looks so much like his home state of Texas.”
On , Kristin Roberts, President of Gannett Media at GANNETT CO INC, spoke about U.S. elections during Interview with Kristen Roberts from Politico on American votes 2016 on TRT World.
In a September 2016 interview with Politico, Kristin Roberts, then the national editor at Politico, discussed the potential outcomes of Super Tuesday in the U.S. presidential primaries. Roberts said that the results would shape the race, predicting that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would emerge with solid leads. She described Marco Rubio as likely to have won nothing after 16 contests and stated that Ted Cruz was expected to lose to Trump across the South except in Texas, based on polling. On the Democratic side, Roberts said Bernie Sanders would need to win four or five states, including Massachusetts, to remain viable, and that Hillary Clinton was likely to come out of Super Tuesday as the presumptive nominee, focusing on the general election rather than the primary.
