Donald Trump wasn’t MAGA’s only winner on Super Tuesday

So great are their margins over their respective primary opponents that some pundits were splitting hairs over whether Mr Trump winning Texas by 60 points rather than his 65-point lead in polls boded poorly.But beyond the unsurprising presidential results, a glance at down-ballot races shows a familiar Republican strategy playing out again.
