| 0:30.6 | Hello and welcome to a GabFest, extra, extra special edition for March the 16th, 2016. |
| 0:41.8 | It's the Super Tuesday Part 3, is it, John? Part 2, Part 4. |
| 0:47.3 | I don't know. |
| 0:48.3 | I couldn't sympathize more with the need and desire to name these Tuesdays. but I think once you get into doing sequel, Super Tuesday, Part 3, you start to lose the thread a little bit. |

| 2:09.3 | So on the Republican side, we have now a three-person race with Kasich Cruz, and Trump, |
| 2:10.4 | Rubio is gone. |
| 2:12.3 | Who won last night? |
| 2:22.9 | Well, I think Trump won last night, but he won, he could have essentially put it away, and he didn't put it away. |
