Rubio's not winning any of that either at this point. It's better for him to draw that 8-10% away from Kasich or Cruz in WTA states.
Florida.
CLARE MALONE 8:25 PM
Marco Rubio is holding a rally right now in Florida thats notable, since its not a victory speech. Its a shirt-sleeves-rolled-up, roaming-the-stage piece of imagery that the campaign is projecting out to the world, and I think could indicate that theyre worried about how hes going to do tonight.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News national poll that came out today put Rubio in last place among Republicans, behind Kasich. Its interesting to reflect on that, as we await the Ides of March reckoning that is due next week in Ohio and Florida: Rubio has had the sheen of establishment savior on him for the last couple of months, since it became increasingly clear that Jeb Bush was not going to be the it boy of 2016. But Rubio was never truly establishment in his politics he came up in the tea party wave. At one point, the Washington barometer read guys like Rubio as radical. John Kasich, who people have joked looks like a Democrat in the current field of GOP-ers, is the only one left who looks like what we used to think an establishment Republican looks like, right down to button-downs paired with zip-up fleeces and khakis. Its an interesting shift that voters seem to be throwing that traditionalism some bones as we head into March and as Trump continues to look strong.

But I think he is a real risk to Florida and basically nowhere else.

He is, but I'm operating under the idea that he won't drop out unless Florida is a lost cause for him.

Trump is going to kill in Michigan and Mississippi but I guess Cruz will handily win Idaho and get a nice amount of delegates there.
But Rubio is just a mess.

Did someone take a picture of that? Too funny.
Trump is starting to pull away in Michigan. Looks to be a good night for him.
I'll prob throw a party either way he loses. But he must lose.
too early. No Flint. Nothing from black precincts in Detroit.
News saying anything about how these areas look or nothing yet?

She'll win (I'm not a fan, so no bias). Detroit hasn't come in yet. No call yet = means it'll be closer than the polls lead us to believe.

MSNBC is pretty much ignoring them as irrelevant.

If current numbers hold I believe this will be the first state with any candidates over 50%?

TRUMP
RISING
A number of networks have called Mississippi for Trump. I have no reason to doubt he’ll win, but only a tiny fraction of the vote in two counties is currently being reported. I’d like to have just a little more of the vote to be sure. Meanwhile in Michigan, Trump is rolling through like Desmond Howard during one of his returns for the Wolverines back in the day. He’s winning in every part of the state while Kasich and Cruz slug it out for second place.

Rubio at 1.5% (6 votes total) in Mississippi so far, strong.

Trump could really clean up in delegates in MS with these margins and Kasich/Rubio under the thresholds. He gets extra delegates for any congressional district he crosses 50% in so that's something to watch.
heheheheheeee
