Very rarely does a victory seem to embarrass a candidacy and reinforce all that is wrong with it more than
Saturday's DC Caucus victory did for Marco Rubio. The Senator who is about to lose his home state, and gave "victory" speeches for second and third place finishes in early primaries, won Washington, DC's Republican Caucus narrowly over John Kasich. The irony is fairly obvious, as the one constituency that Rubio has held throughout was the DC crowd, which views him as "electable," despite his inability to connect with any actual people outside of the Beltway. Even with them, he still only won narrowly.
This kind of tells everything you need to know:
Still, Washington, D.C.' s was the only contest victory of the night for Rubio, who won only one delegate in Wyoming. Nine of the 12 delegates went to Cruz, another went to Trump and the last delegate remained uncommitted.
The Associated Press did not call a winner in Wyoming because another 14 delegates are to be awarded at the party’s state convention next month.
No delegates went Rubio's way in Guam's presidential contest. Cruz won Guam's contest and received one, but organizers decided to reconvene Tuesday to decide where the remaining delegates will go, according to the Associated Press.
It’s the third presidential contest victory for the Rubio. He won the GOP caucuses in Minnesota on Super Tuesday, as well as the Puerto Rico primary.
Basically- This is as good as it gets for Marco.
