Las Vegas : Donald Trump scored decisive victory in Nevada’s crucial Caucuses, a third consecutive win that brightened the controversial real estate tycoon’sprospects to secure the Republican presidential nomination, reports PTI.

  Trump trounced his Republican rivals with a resounding victory which sent shockwaves across the Grand Old Party (GOP) as he swept almost every category of the electorate to build his dominance in the delegate count.

   Projections on TV networks gave Trump 46 per cent of the vote, with Senators Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas trailing some 20 points behind.

  Turnout was high, with some Caucus sites running low on ballots. The remaining two candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Ohio Governor John Kasich, came in at about six and four per cent, respectively.
