Rubio tells so many stories. "Trump's numbers are falling, ours are rising". "Cruz didn't meet expectations because he didn't win Arkansas"

RE: Super Tuesday thread
The only news that can really be taken from yesterday is that Rubio has fallen to distant third.

Drumph wins GA. VA still too close to call which is interesting.
Bernie is a movement. He has raised valid issues. I am voting for Hillary in Florida, but his issues are not going away. Even Trump is stealing some of them.

What is up with Oklahoma? I'm shocked they're swinging Sanders at the moment. I figured their breakdown would look similar to that of Texas.
Ok has closed primaries. And has fewer rich suburbs, and less of an ethnic mix. Plus rural areas that tend to vote republican only survive due to government subsidies.
I am with Owl that if all roads should be toll roads, you should start in rural areas. (Owl never said start in rural areas, just that all roads should be toll roads).

Per Flopping Aces:
Trump has 285 delegates and earned 34.54% of the votes cast. Those 285 delegates however represent 50.35% of the delegates pledged.
Cruz has 161 delegates and earned 24.17% of the votes cast. Those 171 votes represent 28.45% of the delegates pledged.
Rubio has 87 delegates and earned 22.27% of the votes cast. Those 87 delegates represent 15.37% of the delegates pledged.
So unless I'm missing something, Trump is right where he should be, correct? 50%+ a little more. It does mean he's definitely gotta fight in the upcoming primaries harder than usual though.

Virginia has no party registration, plus the "Republican Establishment" mostly lives in NOVA or Richmond suburbs. Was checking the VA SBOE elections results last night & Rubio did well in NOVA & Henrico County. Need to check on York County, Poquoson city & Henrico county. Checked Hidenwood precinct in Newport News & Rubio carried it. Cruz did good in lynchburg suburbs, Trump carried the Valley & southwestern mountains which dates back to GOP during the civil war. Plus I read that a lot of non republicans voted for Rubio.
Will check absentee ballots by county to see how they they split when I have the time.

That was my precinct up until 2007! My parents still vote there and I vote at Hilton.
