Republican Ides of March Tuesday results thread (N. Marianas start at 4:30am ET)

[Nathan Towne]

Rubio has to run up these enormous margins in Southeastern Florida in order to catch Trump in the state.

Kasich in OH?
[/quote]

FOX just announced that there will be a call right at 6:30 (CT).

Kasich in OH?

I hope not.  The pre-election polls were WAY too close, so I suspect the primary will be close too.  If they do, then I could easily see a Florida 2000 scenario...

[yankeesfan]

With these early numbers, why the hell did Rubio stay in the race?  Totally delusional

[yankeesfan]

Kasich 45
Trump 38

Looks like those leaks were right

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

A LOT of Floridians HATE Rubio because of his terrible job in the Senate

[Mr. Morden]

Ohio exit poll toplines (if my math is right):

http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/oh/Rep

Kasich 44.5%
Trump 38%

[100% pro-life no matter what]

They lied to us.  No calls!!!

[The Free North]

NC may be surprisingly close here....

Only one too close to call.

[Nathan Towne]

The call could be Clinton in Florida as well.

[Mr. Morden]

North Carolina exit poll toplines (if my math is right):

http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/nc/Rep

Trump 40.5%
Cruz 35.5%
Kasich 11%
Rubio 9.5%

[cinyc]

The call could be Clinton in Florida as well.

Florida will be called at 8PM.  The western part of the panhandle is still voting until then.

[DavidB.]

How does Florida count so fast? Electronic voting?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I'm amazed that so much of the Florida vote is in.  Mostly early votes, I suspect, but I never imagined that such a large percentage would vote early.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Rubio is gonna get SLAUGHTERED here, you should have done your JOB Rubio

[Nyvin]

HUGE margins for Rubio in Miami-Dade coming in now.

B-b-but Hispanics love Trump!!11!

Cubans aren't Hispanic, silly.

Yes they are, anyone who speaks spanish is.

Kasich 44.5%
Trump 38%
Cruz 14%
Rubio 2% (lol)

[Nathan Towne]

The call could be Clinton in Florida. The results coming in now in Broward and Palm Beach are not where Rubio needs them to be. Miami-Dade is not going to be enough, so this is looking pretty dreary for him at the moment.

That's not quite true.  I learned how to speak Spanish, but that doesn't make me Hispanic.

[rob in cal]

    Florida has a lot early voting by mail and in person.  I seem to recall big early vote dumps in the past, since 2004 in fact.

[The Free North]

Kasich wins OH based on these numbers

He's winning Republicans/Dems/Independents


5-10% win for him.

[Joe Biden 2020]

They lied to us.  No calls!!!

Makes for more drama!!

[Vern]

[rob in cal]

  Bet Trump wins the Hispanic vote in Florida outside of Dade county.

[Nathan Towne]

I am calling Florida for Clinton. There is no way that she does not win the state at this point.

They mean Spanish-speaking ancestry.
