Super Tuesday: Elections that will shape the year.

  The Super Tuesday results for the Republican and Democratic primaries have had mixed results as the leads in the polls were a surprise for many of the political analysts. Trump and Clinton are leading in the polls but not by much difference, and as the New York Times said, this is the closest primary results since the 2000 primaries.
 
Trump and Cruz
Trump still has the lead but by a small margin against Cruz, but still leads by alot of Republicans. The Republican party also split this week, as former Republican candidate Mitt Romney has accused Trump of being a scapegoat for the party. He also hinted in becoming a candidate for the Republican party. The recent declaration of Romney has caused some media news outlets to hint of a possible rift between conservative leaders in the party, while Trump ideology is somewhat radical which has caused some tensions to flare up with GOP members. Businesses men and prominent religious leaders have either supported the two candidates, or have lost trust in what is one of the most tight Republican primaries in recent years. 
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton 
And on the other side Sanders and Clinton have had a tight race, but to the surprise of many Sanders  has had a quick momentum against Clinton, but still shortfalls against the main Democratic candidate. To many analysts she continues to ignore the criticism she receives, and aligns herself with the current President, but doesn't agree with the current issues affecting the country. Still she has aligned herself with many minorities, as had Sanders especially with the newer generations. Sanders also has alot of support with college students, as his proposals have drawn attention from them. This Saturday three states will be up for grabs, and it will gain momentum whether both candidates will get the nomination.
