It was a weekend of split decisions for the Democratic and Republican primaries.

On the Republican side, Ted Cruz gained ground on Donald Trump and in Democrat contests Bernie Sanders gave Hillary Clinton a run for her money.
The two Democratic candidates held a debate in the now notorious Rust Belt city of Flint, Michigan.

It's also the land of General Motors, and Hillary Clinton played to her audience, saying "I voted to save the auto industry. He (Sanders) voted against the money that ended up saving the auto industry."

Sanders shot back, "If you are talking about the Wall Street bailout, where some of your friends destroyed this economy..."

When Clinton tried to interrupt, Sanders cut her off: "Excuse me, I'm talking!"

Michigan holds its primary election Tuesday, with 147 Democratic delegates at stake. Voters will also go to the polls in Mississippi and for the Republicans in Hawaii and Idaho.

Sanders and Clinton not only talked over each other, but laid it on the Republican candidates for some of their mudslinging.

Clinton told the audience, "Compare the substance of this debate with what you saw on the Republican stage."

Sanders said, "We are, if elected president, going to invest a lot of money into mental health, and if you watch these Republican debates, you know why."

Sanders notched wins in Nebraska and Kansas, while front-runner Clinton snagged Louisiana.

On the Republican side, Super Saturday was Ted Cruz's biggest night yet.

Record turnout handed him decisive wins in Kansas and Maine.

Trump took Louisiana and Kentucky, but Cruz was close behind in second, helping him close the delegate gap.

Both men say they want the race to be just between the two of them, calling on Marco Rubio to drop out.

Trump said, "I want Ted one-on-one, okay?"

Cruz agreed: "It has to be head to head."

Trump also said "Marco Rubio had a very, very bad night, and personally, I'd call for him to drop out of the race."

Rubio came back on Sunday with a win in Puerto Rico and he's promising to stay in.

Trump now has 384 delegates, and Cruz is not far behind at 300.

Rubio is well back with 151, but he says he'll win his winner-take-all home state of Florida, while John Kasich says he'll win his winner-take-all home state of Ohio.

So there looks to be no quick end in sight to the race for president for either party.
