Cooper: "If we're speaking about the Democrats, tonight started out great for Bernie but now it is Hillary's night. She now has won a total of 463 Delegates tonight while Biden has won 245 Delegates and Bernie has won 204 Delegates tonight. We add that to the totals of each Candidate and here we stand:
Bernie - 279 Delegates
Hillary - 520 Delegates
Joe - 292 Delegates.
Colorado is the only state left to be called for the Democrats and it likely to be pro-Bernie and Pro-Biden, but tonight has been a great night for Hillary Clinton."
King: "For the Republicans, again, this is Haslam's night. He's won all but 3 of the primaries so far while tonight has been awful for Cruz as he hasn't won a single state. Haslam has won 409 Delegates, Rubio has won 128 Delegates and Cruz has won 10 Delegates tonight. We add that to their totals and we can see why Haslam is so strong tonight:
Haslam - 489 Delegates
Rubio - 179
Cruz - 19 Delegates
Alaska remains for the Republicans and while it will likely go to Cruz, I think many are curious if Cruz will drop out after tonight due to his loss in Texas."
Blitzer: "Thank you for that analysis. We have only the Colorado Democratic Caucuses and Alaska Republican Caucuses left to call. Stay tuned as we take a short break."
