"We knew this would be the roughest period in the campaign give the makeup of the electoral map," he said.

The Florida senator is hoping to add a few more delegates to his count when Puerto Rico votes on Sunday, and made a last-minute campaign stop there Saturday night, delivering a brief stump speech to around 500 people entirely in Spanish, that pushed for Puerto Rican statehood.

The Map Only Gets Better for Us.

We’ll win big in the Southern Bible Belt.

Our second, third, and fourth place finishes are victories for us.

We are winning...

I have always thought the best way to win is to be the biggest loser /s

Yep, sure Marco, with every defeat, the map only gets better?

Sheez man! Get a grip. There have been 19 votes and you won one. Cruz has six, and trump now has 12.

Florida is your last hope...and it looks like you are going to lose pretty big there too.

The only individual with any shred of hope of competing seriously against Trump now is Cruz. Do not take my word for it...the people’s vote is making that obvious...not matter what you may say about it.

Hey, I've seen Rubio's polling, and this thing ain't over.

He's up 10 in Narnia, and closing fast in Fantasia.

Not so fast. He’s won that powerhouse Puerto Rico.

Hey, it’s the Rubio-Ricky Martin ticket.

Florida is not a true winner-take-all state. Like SC, it’s part winner-take-all by congressional district, but unlike SC the lion’s share are that way, with a small portion for the state winner. That explains why Cruz is campaigning there in part. He can get delegates if he wins some districts but loses the state.

Ohio and NC are true WTA.

Yep that's what they are saying. He still hasn't won any delegates because only 32% of the returns are in.

Rubio 74.2%, Trump in 2nd with 12.8% of the vote , Cruz with 9.4%, and Kasich with 1.1%

Wait until the Northern Mariana Islands primary.

Marco should do fabulously.

Like what we need is a new bankrupt state that needs billions of dollars in bailouts.
