Marco Rubio Finally Wins One, in Minnesota

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.

Thanks for the explanation. Should have asked the question but got the answer anyhow. Really happy to have FR.

“And he’ll win 5 of the next 9 contests too.”

From RCP Averages:

Florida T 40.3 C 15.8 R 20.8 Cruz 3rd place
Ohio T 31 C 21 R 13 Actually Kasich is in 2nd place here
Mich. T35.0 C 15.0 R 15.6 Cruz 3rd Place
NCar. T29.8 C19.5 R17.5

So I guess these aren’t part of your list? So show us polling for the 5 “contests” you claim he’s going to win.
But you know as much as the MSM hates Trump (just like you), virtually all of them are saying that Trump has the nomination locked up. So I guess you’d better bop on down to Fox News with your “magic 8 Ball” and help them out!

“Trump is suddenly not looking so tough.”

Pathetic attempt by Cruz supporter is as pathetic as it reads.

[867V309]

That’s both a disgusting and untrue statement.

Well, considering it's me stating MY OPINION, it can hardly be untrue.

And considering the Littleton and Aurora mass killings, I doubt it's "disgusting" either.

“judging from a couple of your replies tonight, I'm going to assume that you are posting while your beeber is stuned. “

Seeing as how I've lived in California for 75 years, if he were handy, it would be more than his “beeber” that would be stunned! The kind of comments he's made have no place here. The guy is some kind of mental pygmy.

Minnesota......hmmm!

Some of the more memorable Minnesota politicians: Al Franken, Orville Freeman, Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Walter Mondale, Harold Stassen, Jesse Ventura & Paul Wellstone.

Is this a victory or a curse?

[proudpapa]

Here are the next 9 contests... Cruz will win 5...

Kansas - Cruz
Kentucky - Cruz
Louisiana - Cruz
Maine - Trump
Puerto Rico - Rubio
Hawaii - Trump
Idaho - Cruz
Michigan - Trump
Mississippi - Cruz

I’m a Cruz supporter but I can’t agree with your assessment that Trump has “peaked” and I don’t expect ANY of the other candidates to exit the race anytime soon. I do expect Ted Cruz to continue the good fight — but the odds are long.

[PghBaldy]

He was 2nd or 3rd in bunch of places, so it could have just been luck. I actually was surprised he didn’t win anything before this, considering how close he & Cruz have been in some polls.

[867V309]

excuse me?

You're excused.

[vette6387]

“I can’t believe Minnesotans could be so gullible and lame”

If you had to live there you’d be both. In the summer the mosquitos are so large the FAA makes them put on “N” numbers and it’s so humid you might as well go naked. But not to worry, in the winter they make up for it by coming in second to North Dakota for the coldest state in the union. So I’d just chaulk it up to adverse living conditions.

[Teacher317]

I hope so, but I doubt it. Cruz needs a 2-man race... and Marco is now in it until the end.

[867V309]

Seeing as how I've lived in California for 75 years, if he were handy, it would be more than his “beeber” that would be stunned! The kind of comments he's made have no place here. The guy is some kind of mental pygmy.

See. That's the problem. Living in Californica 75 yrs would mess anyone up.

[Teacher317]

MN is just that odd... Al Franken, Jesse Ventura, Walter Mondale, etc

[JohnBrowdie]

Ah. Gotcha. I was hoping that perhaps you were the victim of a series of unfortunate accidents with autocorrect, or perhaps posting while you were hammered.

Now I see that you are just a whackjob.

[vette6387]

“See. That’s the problem. Living in Californica 75 yrs would mess anyone up. “

You should have been so lucky! And it’s CALIFORNIA to you!

[CrimsonTidegirl]

LMAO:)

[867V309]

Now I see that you are just a whackjob.

First one to call the other one a name loses.

[867V309]

You should have been so lucky!

One year was enough in the land of fruits and nuts, thanks.

[JohnBrowdie]

I was simply making an observation based on some pretty strong evidence. whackjobs aren't somehow protected from people simply noticing that they are whackjobs.
