Clinton and Trump Win, Bush Suspends

An exiting day in both presidential primary-races ended with Jeb Bush suspending his campaign, after he only scored a single-digit result in the South Carolina Republican primary.

Donald Trump won South Carolina with 30+ points, while Marco Rubio regained his momentum by narrowly beating Ted Cruz for second place.

In Nevada, Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders, which brings her back to track as the Democratic front-runner. Sanders managed to attract Latino voters, but the African-American vote went decisively to Clinton.

At a recent campaign event in Nevada, Hillary attacked Republicans for telling lies all the time. Then she reminisced about an old radio ad from Arkansas, where they trained a dog to bark whenever a political said a lie.

Hence the barking. Watch for yourself.
