On the Democrat side, Clinton has also cleaned up by winning big, but Sanders is still hanging in there with a chance, winning 3 states, including his home state of Vermont.
Yep. The brokered convention is now my best hope.
I wouldn't use the words "cleaned up". I'd say Trump met, but did not exceed expectations (Ttrump does best with non Uni educated poorer whites). Cruz went better than expected by picking up oaklahoma, with his expected Texas win. Rubio almost snagged Virginia but his sub 20% performance in a few of the Southern states means he misses statewide delegate allocations he badly needs.
Ok updating this post courtesy of 538 - the likely delegate count from Super Tuesday is great for Cruz and bad for Rubio.
"Trump is on track to end up with about 262 delegates, Cruz is on track to win about 215, and Rubio is on track to win about 93. "
