Rubio's Minnesota finish will allow his campaign, at long last, to call him a winner. The freshman Florida senator is in dire need of a spark to help him continue making the case to party leaders, donors, and anti-Trump voters that he remains the best hope to stop the billionaire businessman from romping to the nomination.

I'm curious how he pulled this off.
His % of the votes was much higher than any other state.
His win in Minnesota is a statistical anomaly compared to every other state.
Not shocking. Minnesota is one of the most liberal states in the US.
I am curious to see the county maps. i’m guessing rubio took all the Obama counties.
Also the state that elected Jesse Ventura, Al Franken, and Muslim Keith Ellison.
The only person who can sweat in Minnesota in the wintertime
As I looked up MN only has 38 delegates at stake which is only 10 more than the populous state of Alaska. WOOHOO RUBIO
Trump is suddenly not looking so tough.
He lost Minnesota. He lost Oklahoma... He lost Texas. He squeeked by in Arkansas.
As of right now he holds a 1% lead in Alaska.
Trump has peaked. Look for Carson & possibly Kasich to quit the race. And then Cruz and Rubio will take turns thumping the Trumpster.
Voter Fraud
Neither Cruz or Rubio have a chance. I guess your hope is a brokered convention?
That is the GOP plan.
It is also full of MOOOOOSELIMS
A caucus state and very dumb white libtards
A brokered convention might not be a bad thing.
I’ve been a conservative my entire life and right now I trust Trump almost as much as a trust Hillary.
I will join Ben Sasse in not voting for Trump if he’s the nominee.
Did he get an Al Franken endorsement?
Don’t know about counties, but the NYTs has the precinct maps if you click on the state.
Looks like the lower 1/5 of the state is what carried him (Minneapolis and down)

It seems a little odd to me also. Is there any big donors that live in Minnesota that might influence control over vote count or voting machines? Sounds horrible I know so just put me down as also finding it to be an...anomaly.
