Marco Rubio has won the Republican caucuses in Washington D.C., according to the Associated Press.

With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Rubio garnered 37 percent of the vote, John Kasich got 36 percent, Donald Trump 14 percent and Ted Cruz 12 percent.

There was no declared winner in the Guam Republican caucus, according to the party’s executive director. No presidential preference vote took place.

Of its nine delegates, six were directly elected today and will caucus in the next several weeks to determine who they support. The remaining three delegates are Republican National Committee members.

Wyoming held county conventions but no winner will be declared there until April.

Both Donald Trump & Ted Cruz are certainly relieved to find out that the “headquarters” of the GOPe (Washington D. C.) chose not a single delegate for either of them. DC instead chose delegates only for the GOPe candidates Rubio & Kasich.

Actually, the vote in Wyoming went to Cruz, as did Guam.

This weekend Rubio picked up Washingtn DC, which make his 3rd victory, those being Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and DC.

Cruz picked up Wyoming and Guan, giving him now eight victories. Those being Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, Maine, Idaho, Wyoming, and Guam

Trump leads with 12 wins. Those being: New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Thanks for the summaries. Do you happened to have the electoral votes by any chance? I saw that somewhere, but I couldn’t find it again.

If Mao or Pol Pot or Lenin or Castro, etc had also been running, Rubio would have not gotten even one D.C. delegate.

They are not called electoral votes until the general election.

It’s Hawaii...yes, fifteen. I will reword it:

Actually, the vote in Wyoming went to Cruz, as did Guam.

This weekend Rubio picked up Washingtn DC, which make his 3rd victory, those being Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and DC.

Cruz picked up Wyoming and Guan, giving him now eight victories. Those being Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, Maine, Idaho, Wyoming, and Guam

Trump leads with 15 wins. Those being: New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, and Alabama.

That’s got it right now.

We know the “Republican” candidate of DC insiders (as if we didn’t already know).

Considering DC is a hotbed for MSM in the US, Rubio should be popular there.

I think Cruz's win in Texas is more than 1/3 of all his delegates

I can see why they think he owns Hillary
