Despite his win in MN, I really can't see this as a "good" night for Rubio

He wasn't even expecting to win MN though.

It was a bad night even though he won Minnesota because he lost a huge sum of delegates in Texas and a small sum of delegates in Vermont and generally under-performed in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, ect.

He now trails Ted Cruz decently in delegates and only continues on a negative path. And he still has no answer to the question "Florida???"

If winning 1 state instead of winning 0 states is now grounds for "a good night" - then sure.

It is surprising he didn't get 2nd in more southern states considering what happened in SC.

Two hours ago, yes. But to be honest, in the last hour or so he has begun to look more impressive. He's won Minnesota, about to overtake Kasich in Massachusetts for 2nd, is now in 2nd in Georgia and over 20% now in Tennessee. He'll come out with a good amount of delegates.

... and he lost a state that was literally a perfect fit for him in Virginia.

Everyone though that he'd lose MN and VA in a landslide to TRUMP. He's overperforming, but he's still doing terribly.

Nah, I predicted a TRUMP loss in Minnesota (and have said he could even get third there because Minnesotans HATE TRUMPism), and Virginia was always a decent fit for Rubio. He got closer than expected in Virginia, but honestly, still not impressed.

Not a good night, but I'm not sure it was a bad night either. He still has a legitimate chance to win the nomination, and a couple weeks ago, it wasn't clear that that would still be the case after Super Tuesday. Florida is a must win, though.

In the real world, yes. In Rubio-la-la-land, no because he shuts Cruz up with winning a state and he thinks he can win Florida.

He did win a state, but I say a bad night because it appears he did not hit the 20% threshold he needed to get any delegates in the state of Texas.   That was the biggest prize on the table and right now with 18% he is getting nothing.  It also appears he is below the threshold in Alabama and Vermont.  It's a race for delegates and I think he is falling behind.

Similar to how it was a bad night for Sanders, despite the fact that he won states other than VT, Rubio's win in MN doesn't mean he had a good night. The only other somewhat good news for him was his actual close second in VA. He finished below Cruz in many states, and will get 0 delegates from AL, VT, and worst of all, TEXAS. Cruz has a stronger case for staying in the race than Rubio, at this point.

Agreed. And if Rubio doesn't win Florida in a couple weeks, I think it's all over for him. And it's unfortunate, given Cruz's win in TX and OK.

I think it was a good night for Kasich, who is well positioned should any downgrade of Trump occur.

It was a rough night for Little Marco. He's a nervous wreck. Marco is a mess.

He is not doing well. Cruz picked a lot of delegates & some wins. Cruz is over-performing IMO & if Carson leaves, Cruz will get more votes. He is not very far from Trump delegate wise.

Rubio did bad & no reason why the establishment should go behind now if he does this bad.

Let's see.

Alabama - Threshold = 20%
Rubio = 18.8%

Texas - Threshold = 20%
Rubio = 17.6%

Vermont - Threshold = 20%
Rubio = 19.3%

In AL, AR, GA, OK, TN, TX, he got fewer delegates than Cruz.

Jake Tapper straight up called out his denial. He's underperforming his delegate targets by the hundreds.

Yes, it was a terrible night for Rubio.

Texas made it a bad night. Otherwise it would have gone as I expected it to go for him.

Rubio has the gall to mock Ted Cruz for his night. That was cute.
