I'll admit I had my doubts going into tonight, but Marco Rubio really outperformed all expectations and shocked by finishing in the top four in Mississippi and Michigan, and it looks like he may even finish in the top three in Idaho.  Coming off of his weak showing on Saturday this really indicates the maturity and never-say-die attitude of his campaign.  The man worked hard and thoroughly earned his moment in the sun tonight, and hopefully this victorious Tuesday will give him the momentum to spring forward into the primaries next week.

I would also call on Cruz, Kasich, and Trump to drop out.  You three did well tonight but history and momentum are clearly not on your side.  America will elect its first president whose father was a bartender and whose mother was a maid.  I can already hear the adoring squeals of teenage girls in the crowd at the convention, and the distant echos of the stadium miles down the moonlit Cuyahoga River as the fans cheer into the balmy Cleveland sky, RU-BI-O!  RU-BI-O!  RU-BI-O!

I know I've been hard on the guy in the past for having such a tiny penis, but you have to hand it to him, he really knows how to pull of a victory when the chips are down.  Congratulations Rubio.

Hey, you're forgetting about Hawaii, the obvious crown jewel of this evening.  If Rubio wins there, he will have tremendous momentum going into next Tuesday's primaries!

Even if he only gets in the top three there, it's still a win! Let's dispel with this fiction that Rubio can ever lose!

If he keeps on this momentum, he might even finish third in Florida! That would be a clear sign that he's on track to win the nomination.

Marco has one delegate right now when you run the Hawaii formulas. (It's Trump 11, Cruz 7, Rubio 1).

He can double his winnings to two (2) if Cruz falls below 30%.

If Cruz surges to 40% and Trumps stays in the 40s, he gets shut out.
It Trump hits 50% and Cruz remains in the 30s, he likewise gets shut out.
And, of course if Kasich surges past Rubio, he gets shut out.

I am just waiting for Marco's I'm a winner participation speech tomorrow.

Due to rounding rules in Hawai'i, he'll end up with a lonely single delegate. So he got ONE on the night, lol.

They said it couldn't be done. They tried to write Rubio off; they said he would never win more than zero delegates on March 8th. But Rubio's campaign won one delegate, thus infinitely exceeding expectations. Rubio has now once and for all established that this is a four-man race, and his soaring momentum tonight places him well on his way to the nomination.

   As someone who considers Rubio one of my least favorite Republicans I admit that it would be kind of cool to have a first lady who was once an NFL cheerleader.

But maybe not so cool to have a class president as POTUS...

Look at my endorsement. We need a conservative president, and that means that it is time to rally behind Ted Cruz.

You need to hold a press conference to bring this news to the entire country. Maybe it will go over better than Romney's did.

Marco Rubio is done a fabulous job; by actually coming in fourth in Michigan and Mississippi he has proven that he has staying power. Donald Trump winning is not cutting the mustard and he needs to understand that coming in first all the time; he must understand 4 or 3 is larger than 1 and Rubio's 1 delegate in Hawaii shows that 1 is before any other number. I can see it now the third or fourth place strategy, proves that Rubio has the "big momentum" and coming in 4th Florida will cement his position as the likely nominee 😂😂😂😂

Little Marco should drop out before Florida if he doesn't want to lose credibility permanently
