The Sunday morning talk shows all opened with the breaking news about the agreement with Iran to swap prisoners. But then they all went to the red meat they had been waiting to cover for months: Donald Trump vs. Ted Cruz.
They also talked about the Democrats, and even a little bit about things that didn’t pertain to the presidential nominating contests that are now just two weeks away. But much of the focus was on the race for the White House.
Don’t worry if you missed it, though. We’ve got it all right here.
