  1. Interesting consolation prize.

  2. Wait until The Donald finds out that prisoners in PR can vote, and their votes won’t be fully known until Tuesday. Does he denounce Rube for winning with the votes of criminals, or does he wait to see how that vote broke?

    The Republican base is probably shocked to hear Puerto-Ricans are even allowed to vote for the Presidency.

    Winning PR can only hurt Rubio with the “real Americans” in their party.

  4. Rubementum! As goes Puerto Rico, so goes Guam!

  5. Cool. now we can hear Rubio and his campaign spin this like he just won Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania in the general election. “Biggest. win. ever! Clearly, I’m the best choice to represent the GOP!”
