Nancy cordes, cbs news, miami. With 35 states yet to vote, Hillary Clinton holds a nearly 31 edge over sanders in delegates.

As the road to the white house winds on, super tuesday might be remembered as the turning point. Hillary clinton and donald trump made huge leaps toward their respective partys nominations. Earlier, i spoke to cbs news political director and moderator of face the nation John Dickerson about where the race is headed. All right, john, a big night for give me a snapshot who where did he win and who did he win with and who is supporting him . I won with lower low income voters, higher income voters in some places. So the Trump Coalition bounces all over the place, depending on the states, which is one of the things that republicans are trying to come to terms with here and certainly his opponents are trying to come to terms with it because ted cruz thought with evangelicals ill be able to make inroads and he didnt. What can we expect moving forward . Tonight. Will they coalesce on trump donald trump or double down on the resistance . There is a choice for republicans to make. Do they start to move behind donald trump or do they have a Resistance Movement that has to snap into quick action because if he is going to be stopped, he delegates. The only way to do that is to start beating him up so badly on these contests that are coming then marco rubio or ted cruz becomes the person who can win these winner take all states and amass enough delegates and then goes to the convention and fights it out at the convention. The challenge with that is, a, they have to fight fast and furiously. And some republicans may not be ready for that. Also, because there are two alternatives now, john kasich making it a third and who knows if ben carson adding another, that splits the antitrump votes and its a messier conversation to have, its messier in terms of the vote. You know, john kasich hadnt been in the race, Marco Rubio Might have done well enough in v. To beat donald trump. So the presence of these candidates out there really does change the landscape of things. Im wondering now, after super tuesday, can we look at this more than as a twoman race and the other man being ted cruz . You could, except marco rubio continues to be carried aloft by the hopes of the mainstream coming to terms with the idea that donald trump would be the nominee of the party that they love. And so while the rubio path to the nomination is now a single file path, very narrow that he must walk, it sustained or continues to exist because there are republicans who really hope that somehow they can use that he can do better and get to the convention and have a situation where it can be competitive and where somehow, through some perhaps even some magic, they can deny trump the nomination. So he did not he only got one win. Thats not a great record. But because there is this real desire to beat donald trump, he is allowed to fight another day where another kind of candidate wouldnt be. Lets talk about the democrats. Hillary clinton did well, as expected. You know, Bernie Sanders maybe not terrible. But, you know, Hillary Clinton definitely is way ahead in the delegates. Continues to raise money. So im wondering is he out of the race . Can we write him off . Or do you think he will live to fight another day . Well, he won in enough states that you cant just write him off. He also also has a very strong message and people who are liking him and he has a lot of money so hard to written him off. The biggest problem to him than winning fewer states than Hillary Clinton and being behind in the delegate count, he still seems to be incapable of doing very well in the africanamerican community, has that is a part of the democratic coalition. You cant be a democratic nominee and not have that kind of vote. So its one of the reasons why in future states, hell have a tough time winning, but it also is a flaw in his candidacy if he is going to be the nominee for the party.
