Donald Trump Sweeps Mississippi And Michigan

Donald Trump has extended his lead in the Republican nomination race after sweeping primaries in Mississippi and Michigan.The real estate mogul comfortably beat Texas Senator Ted Cruz into second place in Mississippi and enjoyed a similarly healthy lead in Michigan over Ohio Governor John Kasich.
Speaking at a rally in Jupiter, Florida, he said: "Ted Cruz is interesting because he's always saying 'I'm the only one that can beat Donald Trump'.
"I've heard it so many times. And I said 'but he never beats me'. Ted is going to have a hard time when it comes to some states."
Mr Cruz hit back with a win in Idaho, but Florida Senator Marco Rubio performed badly and was not projected to win any delegates in Mississippi or Michigan.
The victories mean Mr Trump has won 14 states in total, despite coming under intense criticism from Mr Cruz and Mr Rubio and other Republican officials who fear he will damage the party's chances in the presidential election.
