CNN: Rubio Projected to Win Puerto Rico Primary

‘Marco Rubio with a wide lead, CNN projecting he will be the winner in Puerto Rico’

HARLOW: "Again, Marco Rubio with a wide lead. CNN projecting he will be the winner in Puerto Rico. 23 delegates up for grabs there. This is a - everyone there went to the polls with their concern thereabout the debt crisis in Puerto Rico, which is more than $70 billion in the red. The democratic race in Puerto Rico not until June 5th. Let's talk - what this all means for Marco Rubio. Joining me now, Republican strategist Brian Morgenstern and Ellis Hennican, democratic commentator. Thank you, both, for being with me. Let me begin with you, Brian. When you look at this, does this matter win for Marco Rubio? Now he's got Minnesota and Puerto Rico and that's it."
MORGENSTERN: "Yes, this is a bell weather. Because we have Florida coming up. The campaign has openly said we are going to win Florida, guaranteeing victory. There are a million Puerto Ricans in Florida. That's a lot of votes. And so this is a much a victory for Rubio in sort of breathing more air into his campaign as it is also a bit of an indictment of the other candidates and their outreach to Latinos, particularly today, Puerto Ricans. So the fact that Marco is crushing the field this badly with this voting block could be a very strong bell weather for them headed into the March 15th primary."
