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

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Tonight could make it or break it for both Rubio and Kasich.  Beware the Ides of March!

I still think Trump will win every state except Ohio

Cruz has outperformed his polls in every state since Super Tuesday, while Donald has underperformed everywhere except Mississippi. (which Rubio in turn, had underperformed). I won't be surprised if the only thing Donald wins is Florida.

Don't most of the polls have Trump winning by double digits in Illinois?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I'll be interested to see how well Trump does in the Florida Panhandle as opposed to the Miami area.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

It's entirely possible (maybe even probable?) that both Hillary and Trump win FL, NC and IL and lose MO and OH.

You think Trump will lose in Missouri?  I suspect he or Cruz is favored there.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Why is CNN's site not updating?!!

They're reporting the returns on TV, but not on the site.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Time to call Florida. Build that wall with Cuba!

Not until all the polls close.  Calling Florida before the Panhandle closed was a big reason for the fiasco there in 2000.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

CNN finally has returns on their site.

Rubio up big in early Miami-Dade returns.

Encouraging sign for him, but will it be enough?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

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...

[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.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

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.

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

They mean Spanish-speaking ancestry.

STOP POSTING ABOUT A SINGLE PRECINCT!

You're so retarded.  It's clear who's going to win from even one precinct's returns.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Okay, so you're guaranteeing Trump will win OH. Good luck with that.

Isn't it clear Trump will win in OH?

Just so you know, I'm being sarcastic.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

You're so retarded.

That's rich coming from Oldies.

I was being sarcastic.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

75% now in from Dade County, Rubio leading 63-22%.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton in the general election is really a pathetic contest between two horrendous candidates.

Yes it is, and if that happens, then I will vote write-in.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Lake County, IL has an early lead for Kasich.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Can Rubio still run for senate?

Probably not this year, but I hope he mounts a comeback bid for Bill Nelson's seat in 2018.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Florida really knows how to count votes. They are like, 70% in, and everyone else is at like, 5% or less.

I guess Florida has learned how to run elections in the past 16 years.

A lot of people vote early there, supposedly.  And considering all the bad press they got in 2000, I'm sure they were motivated.  Never mind that the media was more to blame for that than their system.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Can Rubio still run for senate?

Probably not this year, but I hope he mounts a comeback bid for Bill Nelson's seat in 2018.

lol. He can he compete against an incumbent that actually comes to work?

If Nelson retires, then all bets are off.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Big win for Kasich in Ohio?? Or just a footnote in the 2016 Primaries?

For Kasich? No, he has no where to go, Ohio or not.

With Rubio out now, I suspect most of his support will go to Kasich.  Don't write him off.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

For Kasich? No, he has no where to go, Ohio or not.

Nah, most likely to Cruz than Kasich

Based on what?  Rubio is considered more "establishment", which fits better with Kasich than Cruz.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Why is Missouri so slow?

I'm asking the same question about Illinois, at least on the GOP side.
