Morning Brief: March 1

Today's the Super Tuesday of this election cycle. By the end of the night, we'll know who's won Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are neck and neck in terms of delegates going into tonight, so these results may put some distance between the two. But on the Republican side, Donald Trump already has a sizeable lead and if he has a strong showing this Super Tuesday, he may become untouchable.
