For Mr. Trump, the results in Nevada is another sign of the duration of your campaign and the breadth of its appeal: Now has easily won primaries in New England and the South, and a struggle caucus in the far west. It won independent voters in New Hampshire and evangelicals in South Carolina, and won in Nevada, where Mormons rural voters and activists influence.
