All states in the Democratic race award their delegates proportionally, meaning Clinton can keep piling up delegates even in states she loses.

The three states holding Democratic contests on Saturday had a total of 109 delegates at stake.
Super Tuesday solidified Trump’s status as the GOP front-runner, with the billionaire winning seven of 11 states. There were 109 at stake on Saturday.
When you include superdelegates, those party insiders who can choose any candidate, Hillary Clinton now has at least 1,121 delegates, compared with at least 481 for Sanders.
“We are doing better and better with young African Americans, young Latinos, and young whites”, he said. “This shows how much excitement there is about this, and I’m anxious to see how the Democrats do tomorrow, because right now it’s looking really good for us”.
“I think it was a big mistake for Donald Trump not to be here”, ACU chairman Matt Schlapp told CNN.
“We’re going to change things so badly and so quickly, it’s going to go so fast, and you’re going to be so proud”.
He tells ABC’s “This Week” that that’s up to the delegates and primary voters.
Sanders insists he has a path to victory, particularly when voter turnout is high. He lost closed caucuses to Ted Cruz in Kansas and ME, and posted a narrow win in Kentucky.
The FBI for months has investigated whether sensitive information that flowed through Clinton’s email server was mishandled. But the GOP elite’s fear of Trump could be stronger than its disdain of Cruz, who has cultivated a reputation for tangling with his own party’s leaders. But if The Donald is actually slipping, last night might lead one to think that the benefit is accruing to Ted Cruz instead.
Cruz and Sanders can also claim momentum as they head toward critical races in MI next Tuesday, and then winner-take-all races in the large states of Florida and OH on March 15. The base has chosen or is choosing a candidate that the establishment says is absolutely unacceptable.
“It’s not a given that Kasich’s going to win OH”, said Warren. He said he only won ME because it was next to Canada, where Cruz was born. Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sihk) gets two delegates.
On the Republican side, Trump won 49 delegates and Cruz won 64 delegates after they split four states, taking their delegate count to 378 and 295 respectively.
“The Texas senator was leading Trump by more than a 2-to-1 margin in partial returns in Kansas”.
What are the presidential candidates up to on Sunday? Would the results have been any different if it were a primary?
Maine, also overwhelmingly white, holds its Democratic caucus Sunday.
“I will win Ohio”, Kasich said on ABC’s “This Week”.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has events in Idaho – rallies in Idaho Falls and Boise – ahead of the state’s primary on Tuesday.
Campaigning in Detroit, Clinton said she was thrilled to add to her delegate count, “but now all eyes turn to MI”. Trump, still the front-runner in the hunt for delegates, bagged Louisiana and Kentucky.
A spokesman for Rubio, who spent the past week launching harsh personal attacks on Trump, said the senator would push on with an eye on the March 15 contest in Florida. It is not clear who that would favor, as Trump would likely gain many voters from Marco Rubio or John Kasich, but Cruz could win over the “anyone but Trump” voters. We’re not going to run it now. “Has to” and that the Florida senator had “a very, very bad night”.

Arkansas Democrats have noted how divided the Republican Party is over Trump.
Next up for the Democrats is a contest in ME on Sunday and a nationally broadcast debate on Sunday night from Flint, Michigan, a majority-black and impoverished city that has suffered a health crisis caused by a contaminated water supply.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Saturday that rival Marco Rubio should drop out of the race. But the caucuses in less diverse Kansas and Nebraska could be more suited to Sanders.
