@nycjim @FoxNews Now @marcorubio has won as many states as Walter Mondale!
— Robert Hirschfeld (@rfhirschfeld) March 2, 2016
Now all Rubio has to do is win DC (which seems very likely) and he'll have the Full Mondale.

Ouch.
Marco Rubio pretends he's a winner, convinces no one. https://t.co/w4tBo5u2D5 via @mashable pic.twitter.com/WueX91Or4p

"A big, big victory for Marco Rubio," says @jaketapper. Makes it sound like Rubio just locked up nomination, not won his first state.
— Ginger Gibson (@GingerGibson) March 2, 2016
Woke up, turned on Fox, found them talking about Rubio's "good night" and "momentum" (he won 1 state). It's like watching Egyptian state TV.

Wow. Right now, @marcorubio has 1 first, 1 second, and EIGHT 3rds tonight. #SuperTuesday

Rubio is a politician that needs to be mugged by reality
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) March 2, 2016
Rubio's time is not now. He is not going to stop Donald Trump. Will probably be up to Hillary Clinton.
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) March 2, 2016
Have Rubio’s more aggressive, personal attacks on Donald Trump helped him with voters?
Is Rubio sticking with his "dick jokes" strategy the next two weeks or flipping the script?
— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) March 2, 2016
@allahpundit seeing as how he cleaned up w/ late deciders, maybe he should keep it up
— J Lord (@RealJLord) March 2, 2016
@allahpundit I mean, exit polls suggest people deciding in the last few days or last week went for Rubio. Where's evidence it hurt him?
— Mike Warren (@MichaelRWarren) March 2, 2016
@allahpundit With the caveat that the dick joke itself was, in my opinion, too much.

@allahpundit Seemed like the con man, Trump University stuff worked better than trolling

@allahpundit He's adopting a prop comedy strategy going forward and bringing Carrot Top onto the team.

@CarbonTheRod @allahpundit The "Sledge-O-Matic" is being prepped for the general election, just in case.
— Terry_Jim (@Terry_Jim) March 2, 2016
@allahpundit Given that he performed above polling average everywhere except TX and MA . . . I'd recommend "stick with dick."
