Polls just closed in Michigan, and networks are calling the race for Donald Trump, while John Kasich looks to have the advantage in a battle with Ted Cruz for second. Both Trump and Hillary Clinton easily won Mississippi, with Cruz trailing Trump.
Polls have closed in Michigan, where @FoxNews can project @realDonaldTrump will win the state’s Republican presidential primary #FNPolitics

Trump wins another primary, this one in Michigan to add to his win in MS. Interesting race for 2d in Michigan between Cruz & Kasich.

For anti-Trump GOPers, they must feel like Charlie Brown & the football. Every time they think they have momentum to stop him, voters vote

Once again Trump striking conciliatory tone with victory speech, tacking presidential

Mitt Romney’s attempt to slow the Trump Train seems to have failed miserably.
Romney loses his home state–again. Michigan goes for @realDonaldTrump.

Maybe Trump sent some Trump steaks to Romney tonight

Kasich had high hopes for Michigan, but at the moment he’s in a tight race for second against Ted Cruz.
Kasich is a rare example of a regional candidate who can't win in, you know, his region.

Marco Rubio looks set to place fourth — and perhaps even fifth — in Mississippi and Michigan.

Rubio could finish behind Carson in Mississippi tonight, and Carson suspended his campaign 5 days ago

Whoever told Rubio to mock Donald Trump by being Trump is the worst

Bad night for Rubio. Could be good for Kasich if he is second in Michigan. But Trump is the headline

Rubio missing MI & MS's modest thresholds isn't just bad for him—also great for Trump bc it really increases # of delegates he can win.

Two Trump wins is a big story, but I think the bigger story is a total and complete Rubio collapse. Remarkable.
