It's a question over momentum versus math for Senator Bernie Sanders right now. After scoring big wins in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington state yesterday, the Senator certainly has momentum.

Clinton has stayed relatively quiet since yesterday's losses. Up next, she's headed to Wisconsin, where the next votes will be cast one week from Tuesday, on April 5th. 96 Democratic delegates are up for grabs.

Trump justified tweeting the photo of Cruz' wife, saying Cruz started it by running the ad with his wife in it. Cruz continues to deny his affiliation with that ad and has denounced it altogether.
