Last night was a devastating defeat for Marco Rubio, whose big losses in the Super Tuesday II primaries caused him to drop out of the Republican race. But the scale of the disaster is even bigger when we look at the amount of money Rubio and the Republican establishment spent in the past weeks to try to stop Trump.
It shows that Trump is winning while spending incredibly little on any sort of advertising. Other candidates, like Rubio, went aggressive on advertising, only to have their efforts rebuffed by voters.
According to ad-buying data from SMG Delta, posted by Mark Murray of NBC News, Rubio's Super PAC and campaign spent a massive amount of money in several of the March 15 primary states.
For instance, in his home state of Florida Rubio spent $8.2 million, far more than the rest of candidates combined. But he only received 636,450 votes. That means he spent nearly $13 per vote.
Compare that with Donald Trump, who barely spent anything on advertising on the path to his Florida victory.

If the GOPe picks their guy and even if Trump doesn’t run 3rd party, a lot of people will write in Trump as a protest guaranteeing a Hitlery win.
And then, the GOPe will have no presidency, no party and no power.
