Republican Ted Cruz wins prior in Kansas and Maine and is consolidated as a second party strength
Pre-candidate Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders surprised at Supersábado - American electoral advance that brought together the states of Kentucky, Louisiana, Kansas, Maine and Nebraska - and won victories in two states each. Both, however, follow in second place in the contest for the nomination of the Republican and Democratic Party, respectively.
The result, which was not known in the early hours of Sunday (06/03), ratified the lead in the race for the nomination of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
While Cruz won in the primaries of Kansas and Maine, the tycoon took the best in the states of Louisiana and Kentucky. Of the 155 delegates at stake in the four states, Cruz won 64, while Trump added 49.
"I've had many competitions in all my life," said Trump, to celebrate the victory in the states of Kentucky and Louisiana. "There is nothing as exciting as this [victory]," he added.
Ted Cruz won in the states of Kansas and Maine, against research that gave victory to Trump. "What we are seeing in Kansas [and Maine] is a manifestation of a genuine change in momentum [of the electorate]," said Cruz, indicating it is a strong alternative in the republishing the Party until now favorite Trump.
The result of the Super Saturday virtually leaves the Republican race in the hands of Trump and the senator from Texas. Republicans will send 2,472 delegates to its national convention. To win the nomination, the Republican presidential candidate must obtain the support of at least 1,236 delegates.
Estimates suggest that the tycoon, who won in 12 of the 19 states that have already had their primaries, sum 399 delegates against 307 for Cruz. The senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, follows with 125, while the governor of Ohio, John Kasich, the Republican complete list of 37 delegates.

In the primary stages and meetings planned for the coming months, the Democrats will indicate 4,763 delegates to their convention. For Hillary or Sanders is appointed to represent the Democratic Party in the presidential elections, it is necessary to receive the support of at least 2,382 delegates.
While Clinton won in 12 states, Sanders emerged victorious in seven. Estimates indicate that the former secretary of state currently has the support of 1,113 delegates, and his rival, with 476.
