Just as expect, Marco Rubio won the Puerto Rico GOP primary. He won it was over 70% of the vote and gets Puerto Rico’s 23 delegates. Rubio got over 14,500 votes in the primary, second place Donald Trump got nearly 3,000 votes. Ted Cruz got about 1,800 votes and John Kasich isn’t even worth mentioning. Because of Rubio’s margin, 73% to 14% for second place Trump, Marco Rubio wins all 23 Puerto Rico delegates. Willard Mitt Romney won Puerto Rico in 2012.
Rubio with a good shot to win all 23 delegates from Puerto Rico. https://t.co/JR4FnNhI4V

I hear that #LittleMarco Rubio won #PuertoRico today.
Boy, we did NOT see that one coming.#Florida likes him not so much…#VoteTrumpFL— Linda Suhler, Ph.D. (@LindaSuhler) March 6, 2016
Looks like Rubio could snag all 23 delegates from Puerto Rico's Primary today. I oppose any U.S. territory having a say in our elections.

Winning Puerto Rico and all their delegates was something Rubio had to have after his disastrous performance yesterday.
