Washington: Riding on voters' anger, Donald Trump scored his third consecutive victory in the Nevada caucuses to cement his frontrunner status in the Republican presidential race with his rivals failing miserably to arrest his winning streak.

To the chagrin of the establishment, the real estate mogul won with a huge margin garnering about 45.9 percent of the total vote in Tuesday night's fourth nomination contest with his two main rivals Marco Rubio at 23.9 and Ted Cruz at 21.4 percent together falling short of his vote share.
