Vox has the most straightforward report on last night's returns: Trump wins Kentucky and Louisiana, Cruz wins Maine and Kansas. Sanders wins Nebraska and Kansas, Clinton wins Louisiana. Rubio and Kasich falter everywhere, and Trump calls on Rubio to drop out.
Rubio is closing on Trump in Florida, which votes on March 15, so that's not going to happen unless he loses to Drumpf in his home state (and then Rubio will quit the next day). There will be one more GOP debate between now and then, on March 10 in Miami.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will debate this evening in Flint, MI and appear at a town hall forum tomorrow night hosted by Fox. Expect the former secretary of state to be asked questions about Libya and about her e-mails. Michigan (and Mississippi) vote on Tuesday, March 8 and Clinton still has a big lead in the polls. OnThursday Wednesday March 9, she and Bernie will debate again, also in Miami.
Next week's events -- tonight through next Thursday evening -- will culminate what has been a furious month in the two leagues' championship semifinals. In nine days, we'll know whether we have a Clinton-Trump fall classic, or something else.
In other developments ... Godwin's Law no longer applies.
Trump supporters have also been read quotes from Adolph Hitler, and thought they were Trump's words. We've crossed the Rubicon, y'all.
More Democratic voters seem to be looking for the exits. Hillarians still seem confused as to why, and they're lashing out again at Sandernistas. The fault lines are cracking further open, even as some former Democrats move over to Trump.
"Working class", indeed, is not a racial demographic. It is in fact exactly what socialism in historical context is all about. But that won't stop Clinton's people from calling Sanders' folks racist.
“Marco had a very, very bad night. I would call for him to drop out,” Trump said at an event in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He went on: “I would love to be able to take on Ted one on one. That would be so much fun, because Ted can't win New York, he can't win New Jersey, he can't win Pennsylvania, he can't win California. I want Ted one on one, OK?"

For these reasons, it’s clear that progressives should be wary of arguments that recessions or financial crises lead to opportunities for progressive policymaking. Rather, they foster exactly the sort of divisiveness that strengthens right-wing movements, at least for whites. For all the talk of “the working class” supporting Trump, few pundits have noted that the working class is increasingly diverse. The idea that economic peril alone creates Trump support is belied by the fact that working-class people of color aren’t flocking to Trump. The reason so many liberal and moderate whites are flocking toward Trump is simple: racism.
