Illinois delegates chime in after Super Tuesday results

Associated Press

Illinois Republicans who oppose Donald Trump are stepping up their campaigning ahead of the March 15th primary.

Audrey Tancos is a delegate for Texas Senator Ted Cruz.  She’s from Chicago’s south suburbs.

Tancos thinks Illinois will still play a big role in determining the outcome of the race.

“You know, people are gettin’ too hyper about Donald winning so much, we still have a long way to go," Tancos said. "And I think we should wait and see what happens.”

Tancos says she’ll support the Republican nominee, even if it’s Trump. But she thinks Trump blames other people for his own mistakes.

Illinois delegates for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders say the campaign for president has only just begun.

That’s after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won most of the states in last night’s Super Tuesday primaries.

Nadia Blanc Daley is a Sanders delegate from South Elgin.

"I’m not at all disappointed. There are 50 states in the United States and only a handful, you know, voted. We still have a lot more states to go through,” Daley said. 

Illinois primary day is March 15th, but early voting is already underway.
