Billionaire real estate investor and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump easily swept the Nevada Republican caucuses on Tuesday.


The Nevada win showed that Trump can prevail in caucuses, where organization is key to turning out voters who are willing to spend hours engaged in the caucus process. Until now, Trump has only won in states that held primaries, but he lost to Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in the caucus format in Iowa.


Trump's victory raises serious questions about whether any of his Republican rivals can catch up to his lead in delegates, or match his momentum going into the Super Tuesday contest on March 1, when 13 states across the country will vote in nine primaries and four caucuses in 24 hours.
