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

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Decent (but not huge) turnout in Chatham, Illinois. Lots of Trump signs out here, but I doubt they'll ultimately back Trump here.

RIP Liddle Marco

So all those anti Trump ads in Florida the past two weeks seem to be have been pointless.

Always brilliant to see rich people waste their money.

RIP in peace Jeb Bush's SuperPAC money.

Those idiots, should give this huge money to starving children in Africa.

Media reports that Senator Marco Rubio just passed away at the age of 44.

Well, not psychically, but you get the idea.

He probably regrets not dropping out last week.

Trump at 52% in my county right now, I'm not surprised at all.

Lake County?

That is the single most horrible thing I have ever heard.

Rubio is going to have to run up huge margins across Southeastern Florida to have a chance in this race based on the numbers that have come in thus far.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

_trump over 45% with early vote in the Tampa and Jacksonville areas. None in yet from Miami, but it still ain't lookin' good...

Soon it will be mandatory for you to write TRUMP instead of trump

Lake County?

Rubio is going to have to run up huge margins across Southeastern Florida to have a chance in this race based on the numbers that have come in thus far.

Rubio got killed in the Palm Beach and Broward early vote, according to DecisionDeskHQ's numbers, with Trump at 50% or above.  Miami-Dade alone won't save him.

Rubio is finished.

[Seriously?]

Rubio is going to have to run up huge margins across Southeastern Florida to have a chance in this race based on the numbers that have come in thus far.

He's done. Per the polls. It's only a question whether it's 15 points or 25 points. They'll call this at 8:00:00 PM

[Maxwell]

oh man oh god oh man this is more devastating than expected.

[RI]

Rubio up big in early Miami-Dade returns.

I was a Rubio vote, knew he wasn't gonna win, but oh well

[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?

[Nathan Towne]

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

[100% pro-life no matter what]

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

[The Free North]

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

Kasich in OH?

[RI]

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

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

Cubans aren't Hispanic, silly.

[Nichlemn]

A question that's probably academic now - could Rubio have won Miami-Dade in the general? It did vote over 60% for Obama in 2012, but Rubio did win it in 2010, as did Mel Martinez in 2004.

[Donnie]

100 seconds left...

[Seriously?]

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

North Carolina Democrat is my guess. Hillary over Sanders. The most obvious of the calls.

They'll wait a bit on OH and NC on the R side.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

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

Kasich in OH?

They didn't say which side.  It could just be Clinton in NC.
