Hey, the Rube wins one! Mazel Tov Asshole. You get a cookie! But if you give a mouse a cookie…
On the brighter side, tRump came in 3rd there. Watch him say “How stupid are the people of Minnesota”, just like he did with Iowa.

My read of the landscape is that this night was the worst possible thing that could happen to the Republican party. I’m operating on the assumption that a Trump nomination would be disastrous. What they needed was a strong showing from Rubio to keep him nipping at Trump’s heels heading into the winner-take-all states. I think Cruz’s ego is going to take him down with his ship, but even if he doesn’t drop out a bad drubbing for him tonight might drive a number of his voters to Rubio.
Instead Rubio has a bad night, Cruz does better than expected and doubles down on himself as the only possible anti-Trump. Rubio isn’t going anywhere before his home state votes at least (and he finally won a state) and even Kasich puts in a strong second in Vermont, and he’s not going anywhere before Ohio. Rubio puts in a lot of bad 3rd place beatings, including missing the 20% threshold in Texas and other states to pick up any delegates there.
Cruz and Rubio limp on, trying to pretend that Trump isn’t kicking their asses, which just makes his job easier.

Its all over the place for the Republicans. Hell, Kasich might win Vermont. That means they’ll all be staying in the race for many more weeks now, only adding to their confusion and lack of coalescing around a single strong candidate. tRump may think he’s the one to coalesce around but the establishment Republicans are having none of it unless they can convince themselves they can make him malleable to their wishes. I doubt they’ll come to terms with what a loose cannon they will have on their hands going forward.
Congratulations Marco, you won Minnesota!
Now that you’ve hit your high point, you might want to consider dropping out before you get embarrassed in your home state in a couple weeks.

Big deal. In his MN victory Rubio collected 12 delegates, while Cruz collected 11 and Trump 8…

Gee… Golly… Gosh… Just like President Stassen… Wait… Stassen won more states than Mister Idunno Rubio.
Guess where Marco’s moving to when the voters in Florida have had enough of
him not showing up for work on their dime —
He’d better buy a fucking coat —
TPM:
First Super Tuesday Victory Projected For Sen. Marco Rubio In Minnesota
Rubio might not want to brag about that too loudly. Minnesota Republicans are the same people who elected Michelle Bachmann to the House. Four times.
I mean, electing Michelle Bachmann is like setting a river on fire (I’m looking at you, Cuyahoga): Once is an accident, could happen to anyone; twice, well maybe that’s a fluke; but four times? That’s just irresponsible.
Careless, Minnesota. Very careless.
No, after all these years of race-baiting, poor-blaming, gay-bashing, hippie-punching, immigrant hating, and anti-female legislating, I think Trump is exactly what the Republican Party needs.
Even more so, I think Trump is exactly what the Republican Party deserves.

Reince Priebus, Ditch McConnell and the Kochheads have done a great job of rigging the system so that robots like Marco can win the nomination quickly without too many debates.
Everybody is a winner in the Republican primary this year.
Marco wins a State that he could never carry in the general election.
