Super Saturday (March 6, 2016) went to the underdogs as Ted Cruz who won Kansas and Maine and Donald Trump - Kentucky and Louisiana - split four states while Bernie Sanders edged Hillary Clinton, two states to one - Nebraska and Kansas to Louisiana.

Trump won primaries in Kentucky and Louisiana, but Cruz rebounded from a weak Super Tuesday to win Kansas and Maine, states that required Republicans to register beforehand.

On the Democratic side, Sanders picked up Kansas and Nebraska, the same states Clinton lost during her 2008 presidential run.

Before looking ahead to Tuesday's pivotal Michigan primary, the candidates will spend the rest of the weekend campaigning for either Maine or Puerto Rico; the former has 25 Democratic delegates at stake on Sunday.

Puerto Rico, however, has a more pertinent impact on the presidential race. It is the first Latino-centric territory outside of Nevada participating in a Republican contest, accounting for 23 delegates. It may hint at whether Marco Rubio's embattled campaign can survive much longer.

A Two-Man Republican Race

Cruz stole Trump's thunder on Super Saturday. The Texas senator brought in 64 delegates and nearly overcame early voting estimates to win in Louisiana.

Trump's double-digit lead over Cruz dwindled in the Pelican State as the day wore on. At one point, the Louisiana Secretary of State website had Cruz trailing the Republican front-runner by just four-tenths of a percentage point, though he ultimately lost by about four percent.

Cruz held a victory rally in Idaho where he encouraged Republicans and Independent voters alike to get behind him if they don't want to see Trump headline July's Republican National Convention.

"The scream you hear, the howl you hear from Washington D.C., is utter terror for what we the people are doing here," Cruz said. "What we're seeing is conservatives come together."

Cruz added, "If we want to beat Donald Trump we have to stand united as one. That is happening in Idaho and across the country. And if you were supporting someone else, let me tell you: we welcome you to our team."

Trump, for his part, attributed Cruz's victory in Maine to the states proximity to Canada; a blatant shot at Cruz and the dual citizenship he carried up until 20 months ago. He called for Rubio to drop out of the race, if only for the fact that the Florida senator doesn't have much to gain going forward.

"I think Marco Rubio had a very bad night and personally I would call for him to drop out of the race. I think it's time now that he drop out of the race," Trump said at a West Palm Beach rally. "I don't think tonight he can get up rant and rave and (say) 'oh he did great.' He comes in third, he comes in fourth. Every time he comes in third and fourth. You've got to be able to win, and he has not been able to win."

Trump has won 12 of the 19 primaries and caucuses held since Feb. 1. He carries 385 of the required 1,237 delegates necessary for the Party's nomination, compared to Cruz's 298 and Rubio's 126.

Clinton Widens Lead Over Sanders

Despite his two Midwestern-state victories on Super Saturday, Sanders fell further behind Clinton.

"We have the momentum. We have a path toward victory," Sanders said in a statement. "Our campaign is just getting started and we are going all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia."

Clinton claimed delegate-rich Louisiana, extending her near-insurmountable lead by 652 delegates while inching closer to the 2,383 delegate count needed for the Party's nomination. Even if Sanders has swayed bayou communities he wouldn't be able to match Clinton's popularity with minorities nationwide.

Speaking at an event in Detroit, the former Secretary of State commended Sanders for his victories but chided GOP candidates trying to divide the country.

"We have to win this election, and we all know the stakes keep getting higher. And the rhetoric we keep hearing from the other side keeps getting lower," Clinton said.

Clinton and Sanders will debate in Michigan on Sunday night where they're expected to continue attacks on their Republican rivals and discuss government's role in the Flint water crisis.
