Another victory? Marco Rubio wins DC caucus; Ted Cruz crushes Rubio, Trump in Wyoming

It’s not Florida, but winning the vote in Washington, D.C., must be a good sign for Sen. Marco Rubio, although the news doesn’t seem to be tearing up the cable networks or social media Saturday night. Maybe a stealth win in the belly of the beast is actually to Rubio’s advantage — winning D.C. doesn’t do much for one’s “outsider” credentials.

Congrats Marco on winning literally the DC establishment

The tiny handful of Republicans who live in D.C. seem to like Rubio and Katich. https://t.co/6wvaRYiJeU

Rubio will win 10 bound delegates in DC, Kasich will get 9. Trump and Cruz 0 each.

Trump misses the threshold in DC. Gets zero delegates. Sad! pic.twitter.com/GeSP3NOE5X

Zero delegates for Ted Cruz from Washington, D.C. after a last-place finish? Certainly his overwhelming victory in Wyoming will help him get over that disappointment. Cruz won 66.3 percent of the vote to Rubio’s 19.5 and Trump’s 7.2.
