big super tuesday winners are donald trump and hillary clinton. trump won arkansas, vermont, georgia, massachusetts, virginia tennessee and vermont. clinton also won seven taking massachusetts, arkansas, tennessee virginia, texas. and bernie sanders managed four victories including his home state of vermont. ted cruz won three states, home state of texas, oklahoma, and he alaska. marco rubio pulling out a victory in minnesota. >> meanwhile, a calmer and more measured version of donald trump is already looking ahead to hillary clinton and also house speaker paul ryan. >> this has been an amazing period of time. it's been amazing for me even from an educational standpoint. and, honestly, we've done something that almost nobody thought could be done. and i'm very proud of it. i want to leave you with this.

i am a unifier. i would love to see the republican party and everybody get together and unify and when we unify, there's nobody, nobody that's going to beat us. you see the polls. i beat hillary in many polls. i know one thing. i don't think marco's going to be able to beat her n all honesty, i think ted is going to have a hard time. i'm going to get along great with congress. paul ryan, i don't know him well and we're going to get along well and if we don't, he's going to have to pay a big price, okay. >> and hillary clinton touched on the water crisis in flint, michigan, and the craziness that's become the gop. >> thank you all so much. what a super tuesday. i'm grateful to all of you who voted for me. to the volunteers and organizers. i know you've worked your hearts out. we know there are many other

flints out there, communities that are hurting and need help but we've come too far in this country to let us turn back. we're going to build on the progress that we've made. the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower. trying to divide america between us and them is wrong and we're not going to let it work. now this campaign moves forward to the crescent city, the motor city and beyond. [ cheers and applause ] >> ted cruz surprised some political watchers by taking oklahoma. he had an impressive win in his home state of texas, as well as a late victory called in alaska. he pitched himself as the trump alternative. >> for the republicans that don't want to see donald as the nominee, i would welcome and encourage them. we have to come together and unify. the only way to beat donald trump is for us to stand together united. if donald trump is the nominee,

i think we lose the senate, lose to hillary, lose the supreme court for a generation and the bill of rights. it's my hope that as party we come together and say stop this madness. do not nominate a candidate who will drive the party off a cliff. >> cruz was able to pick up 171 delegates, rubio, 82 and the big winner, the donald, who won 210 delegates. that brings his total to 292. cruz is in second with 188. marco rubio has 98. now bernie sanders says he's not too worried about those numbers. >> you're going to see a lot of election results come in. let m remind you what the media forgets to tell you about. these are not -- this is not a general election. it's not winner take all. if you get 52%, 48%, you roughly end up with the same amount of delegates in a state. by the end of tonight, we are

going to win many hundreds of delegates. [ cheers and applause ] >> sanders picked up 295 delegates last night while clinton won 461, increasing her lead 979 to 382. after spending nearly a year in space, astronaut scott kelly is feeling the full gravity back here on earth. scott and his twin brother, former astronaut, mark, are helping scientists learn about the impact of space on the human body. now, while he was on the space station, scott observed 5,400 earth orbits and nearly 11,000 sunsets. we're expecting to hear all about that later today. president obama tried to hash things out with republicans
