Powers within US are ‘freaking out’: Analyst
The main powers within the US political system are “freaking out” as they are afraid they will lose their grip on the country, says a political analyst.
Rob Kall, executive editor of OpEdNews.com, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Sunday when asked about the future of the US presidential candidates.
On Saturday, US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump won the South Carolina primary, while Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton clinched the Nevada caucuses.
“It feels interesting that things pretty much went as expected, Donald Trump won the South Carolina by a big margin, Hillary won in Nevada although by a smaller margin than had been expected even a week ago, all the candidates who are remaining are trying to spin their place and position in as positive way as possible,” Kall said.
The powers in the United States, including “the leaders of the GOP and the leaders of Democratic Party, the White House, they are all freaking out, very nervous, afraid that they are going to lose control of the system that they have had a hand on for decades,” he added.
Trump's win on Saturday came following his victory in New Hampshire earlier this month and a second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were locked in a close battle for second place in the South Carolina primary.
Earlier on Saturday, Clinton won the Nevada Democratic caucuses, a crucial victory that could ease concerns about other ability to secure the Democratic Party's nomination.
Clinton won over Bernie Sanders with 52 percent of the vote compared to Sanders’s 47 percent with roughly 89 percent of precincts reporting.
Among Democrats, Kall said, if Clinton wins the election, that means the US will be led by the same people that have had the US under their control for decades, while if Sanders wins, things will change.
“If Hillary wins, then they’ll win, they are still in control, if Bernie Sanders wins, then it’s gonna be a whole new game and a whole new set of rules.”
The former secretary of state lost the previous vote in New Hampshire but won the Iowa caucuses by a razor-thin margin.
The two candidates now go to South Carolina for a primary scheduled on February 27.
