Donald Trump wins Nevada Republican caucuses in effective one-horse race

Unknown Ryan Binkley was only other candidate running, two days after Nikki Haley came second in state Republican primary

Donald Trump was anointed the victor of Nevada Republican caucuses, after staunch loyalists in the state helped maneuver the election process to assure his success.

Shortly after the caucuses concluded, the AP confirmed Trump, who was the only major candidate participating, as the winner, capping off a perplexing election week in a key battleground state. Ryan Binkley, a little-known pastor and businessman from Texas, was the only other candidate running.
