Struggles for Sanders, a conservative chasm, and a bountiful black vote. Tuesday night was nothing if not dramatic.

The Super Tuesday dust is settling and two faces came out on top.

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump picked up seven states. Ted Cruz three, Marco Rubio only one.

What does this tell us about the presidential race going forward?

This morning, Take Two puts that question to three guests in a live roundtable discussion:

  • Lisa Garcia Bedolla, Chancellor's Professor of Education, Political Science and Latino/a studies at UC Berkeley

  • Jessica Yellin, former chief political correspondent for CNN

  • Mark Sawyer, professor of political science and African American Studies at UCLA
