Super Tuesday is over.

And for fans of Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, it was a great night, with multistate victories for both candidates ranging from Massachusetts to Georgia to Arkansas.

In Virginia, Mrs. Clinton scored big, capturing 65 percent of the vote. Her win in the Commonwealth and largely throughout the Southern Super Tuesday states can be attributed to the overwhelming support she received within the African-American and other communities of color.

While this primary election night was filled with joyful high-fives and celebration, the coming weeks will be filled with troubling questions that may make Super Tuesday seem less than super.

Chief among them:

• Will Mrs. Clinton and the Democratic Party live up to the promises made during these latest high-stress weeks of campaigning to support income equality, social justice and increased access to education that will benefit our community?

• If Mrs. Clinton ultimately is elected president, will our community’s needs be relegated to the back of the line or bargained away for tax breaks to the rich or another bailout for Wall Street?

• What happens to this nation should Mr. Trump actually win the nomination? Or heaven help us, the presidency? What rude and crude surprises await us should this hot-headed egomaniac, who has conned thousands of people out of money with Trump University, become the leader of the free world? Would all of his supporters feel they’d been conned should he win the White House?

It is crystal clear to us that a President Trump would be a danger to the African-American community. Perhaps the saying should be “the friend of my enemy is certainly not my friend.” When Mr. Trump cozies up to David Duke and the KKK, whose history is dedicated to the harm and annihilation of black people, then there is no other sign we need to understand that he means us no good.

Oddly, we find ourselves agreeing in this rare instance with House Speaker Paul Ryan, a conservative Republican who was thrown into his leadership role as a bone for getting out of the crowded GOP presidential nomination race.

On Super Tuesday, as millions of voters were headed to the polls to choose candidates to run for president, he offered this observation and warning to Mr. Trump, who was busy deflecting questions about his support from white supremacists: 

“When I see something that runs counter to who we are as a party and as a country, I will speak up. So today I want to be very clear about something,” Speaker Ryan said. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party, there can be no evasion and no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. This party does not prey on people’s prejudices. We appeal to their highest ideals. This is the party of Lincoln. We believe all people are created equal in the eyes of God and our government. This is fundamental. And if someone wants to be our nominee, they must understand this.”

Mr. Trump’s response? He threatened Speaker Ryan:

“I’m sure I’m going to get along great with him. And if I don’t, he’s going to have to pay a big price.”

The GOP has a mess on its hands. The man who everyone considered a joke and dismissed six months ago is the leading GOP candidate. But should he win the nomination or the presidency, he becomes a mess for all of us.

One pundit said when it comes to Mr. Trump’s nomination, many Republicans are in the final stage of grief — acceptance. But we don’t believe the final nail is in the proverbial GOP coffin.

We ask the GOP to take a page from Mr. Trump’s playbook, “The Art of the Deal,” and get rid of him before he takes down the nation like he bankrupted some of those who bought into his bogus university.

And we implore African-American voters and the elected Democratic leadership who are so solidly behind Mrs. Clinton to hold her accountable as the party’s presumptive nominee — so that she doesn’t forget who brought her to the dance.
