After the impoverished Saturday, the republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio won the dominant victory in Puerto Rico Primary. He became the first contender in the race who won the majority of RAW votes, transforming the race into the winner’s proposal. He appears on the track To sweep 23 associated island delegates, more than assigned compared to the New Hampshire Primary. The victory is the needed shot in Rubio’s shoulder, whose mediocre shows over the last week have pierced his campaign. This was his second total win in the cycle, and the second was a two -digit victory in Minnesota. Here is the former republican governor of the island Calling it for Rubio:
.@marcorubio Today was the great in Puerto Rico. All 23 delegates will be promised to him at the GOP convention. To Cleveland! #Marcommenum

Importantly for Trump’s opponents, this weekend he witnessed five nominees competitions, of which Frontrunner was blown up in three (Kansas and Maine by Cruz, Puerto Rico by Rubio). Trump’s two weekend victories in Kentucky and Louisiana were relatively narrow triumphs over Cruz. Like us and others I wrote earlier, Trump remains a robust leader, but this status is not excessive:
If Rubio gets all 23, the number of weekend delegates is Cruz 68, Trump 53, Rubio 36, Kasich 10 (+11 not used in LA)

For this reason, Cruz Plus Rubio Plus Kasich entered 114 delegates this weekend, compared to 53 Trump. This is not a sign of someone who escapes with the nomination. Here General image of the delegate At the moment. All Trump’s rivals are interested in supporting various pretenders from outside Trump to remove delegates, with the final purpose of refusal Trump 1 237 delegates, whom he would have to directly gain the nomination. On March 15, it will be a key date in this context, and the high prices of the winner-all prices to be obtained. Rubio’s losing in Florida and/or Kasich’s loss in Ohio would deal fatal blows in the defeat campaign and would constitute the main benefit for Trump. Wins at home would separate delegatical allegations and
grow significantly The probability of the questioned convention in Cleveland. Basically, This:
I do not care which candidates you like- when you play with the mathematics of delegates, you realize that the only Q is whether Trump will reach 1237.

Adjust your interests or fears properly, Republicans. GOP voters will be Go to the polls In four states on Tuesday, and then two more on Saturday, before the Super Duper on Tuesday, March 15. CNN and Salem Radio Network will lead the debate this Thursday evening in Miami, Florida.
UPDATE –
