US Republican presidential candidates have nothing to offer to Americans if elected president, says US congressional candidate Constantino Rozzo.

Rozzo made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Sunday when asked about Saturday races where major candidates clinched important victories.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz won in Kansas and Maine, while New York billionaire Donald Trump compensated by snatching a victory in Louisiana and Kentucky.

On the Democratic side, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders recorded two crucial victories in Kansas and Nebraska as he tries to narrow the gap with the overall front-runner Hillary Clinton, who won in Louisiana.

“Looking at today’s results, the wins for Sanders, Cruz and Trump here on Super Saturday, the Republicans are pretty obvious, they run under their very narrow non-issue policies and they have really nothing to offer,” Rozzo said.

Commenting on Trump, he said “the right-wing of America has real appeal towards fascism and oligarchy, they see him a strong man, successful businessman” who will probably lead the country.

On Democratic hopefuls, Rozzo said “the reason why Sanders won a lot tonight is because the nation desires a change.”

“The true person I think who will eventually win the primaries” is Sanders, he said, adding because “those who are informed, those who are digitally connected understand that America needs to change, things are going wrong, 99% of the population faces financial and social inequality.”

He said Clinton has lost her credibility among Americans, but not everyone in the US is aware of her weak points.

“A lot of people don’t realize the problems she presents, for instance, she has no credibility, whenever we check Hillary Clinton and her background she always says one thing and does another way around.”
