The republican race took a new turn, with a big super tuesday winner, donald trump, celebrating victory flanked by flags in an opulent room that suggested a president ial press conference with a new calm her tone. I am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished, im going to go after one person, Hillary Clinton. Reporter for leaders who doubt him, trump had a reality check. Remember this, i have millions and millions and millions of people. This is not a close match. Its only too bad that winner didnt take all. If winner took all, this thing is over. Were just having a celebration. Reporter ted cruz did celebrate, winning texas and oklahoma. His message to other candidates, get out of the race.

Reporter on the gop side, john kasich and ben carson did not win any states but it appears theyre going to stay in the race for now. There is a big gop debate scheduled for thursday. Such an interesting race. It keeps shaping up, thanks very much. When it comes to who gets the nomination, it all comes down to the number of delegates. In the gop field, 1237 are needed to win. Right now donald trump leads with 268, ted cruz has 142, marco rubio has 78. On the democratic side, 2383 are needed to win. Hillary clinton is just shy of 1000 with 984. Delegates so far. Now to how tonights results will shape the race moving forward, joining us now for analysis, james taylor, professor of politics at university of San Francisco. And political analyst brian sobel. Brian, let me start with you, this was a very good night for donald trump, seems to be gaining momentum. Can cruz or marco rubio stop him . Its a real question. Frank, the idea that these two people in cruz and rubio knocking down trump is really on a roll, is a loaded question. It looks ever more difficult for them to stop him unless a bunch of people get out of this race in a hurry. And coalesce around one of the other candidates. Professor taylor, ted cruz won two states. What does he have to do to try i dont think theres a whole lot he can do. I think trump is going to be the republican nominee. What cruz can try to do and i dont mean to be disrespectful but he has to stop being himself, because hes very unpopular. Even though a lot of people dont actually supported donald trump tonight in virginia and arkansas and alabama, that voted for trump, thats still dont believe that he can win. They still are not supporters of cruz and cruz did expect to do well amongst evangelicals and southerners in general. He did not do well across the board in the south. Thats a problem Going Forward. Brian, you were talking about how some people need to drop out. Do you think theres pressure on the republican establishment or from the establishment for marco rubio or ted cruz to drop out of the race . Frank, there has to be discussions going on. From the National Party leadership talking to frankly, and kasich, to get movement here. The longer this goes on, the more donald trump is assured of the nomination. And for the mainstream republican establishment, thats not their preferred outcome. Lets switch to the democratic side. A good showing tonight for Hillary Clinton. Is the window now closing for Bernie Sanders to catch up with her . I dont think so. Mathematically obviously shes almost halfway there, but there are a number of things Going Forward that bernie will do well in. I think he has michigan, ohio, illinois, he has new york, connecticut, pennsylvania, rhode island. Those are places where Bernie Sanders can do well. Even though Hillary Clinton was super frontloaded with super tuesday victories, Bernie Sanders did win four states. More than anybody expected. Thats what i wanted to ask you. Bernie sanders did win four was he thinking in his camp . I think he believes he just had to march forward. Continue to try to win states as he moves along. Its a numbers game at this point. And hes behind in delegates. So he has to catch fire as well. Otherwise Hillary Clinton gets the nomination. Let me add real quickly, Bernie Sanders has actually earned money each time hes lost. Hes got about 50 million. Hes not going anywhere until that 50 million runs out. I want to get your take on marco rubio. Despite wrapping up his attacks over the past week, he didnt do well. Only winning minnesota. Whats the biggest problem for him . The reason why im smiling, im stunned hes actually in this race. Everyone thinks hes going to miraculously end up with the nomination. I just dont see that scenario anyway. He won a caucus, not a primary. So he has to win his state. Either he or kasich. Well see one of those two leave in the next 14 days. I think the rubio piece of this is that he appeared up until this evening to be possibly the republican establishment consensus candidate. And he didnt perform well tonight. Thats going to cost him. The professor is right. He has to win in florida. Of course, kasich in ohio, same way. Right now the polls have donald trump way ahead of marco rubio in florida.
