Donald Trump is out to a strong start on Super Tuesday, with six states called for the New York businessman so far.
No one was more unhappy with Trump’s victories than conservative pundit Bill Kristol:
VA called for Trump. Drinking heavily.

Later, Florida Governor Rick Scott announced his endorsement of Trump, throwing Kristol further into despondency:

At Trump’s victory press conference, Chris Christie’s puzzling, unenthusiastic introduction and body language drew scrutiny:
Christie has the look of the damned.

The night’s other big winner (at least according to Ted Cruz) is Ted Cruz, who locked up victories in Texas and Oklahoma:
Cruz can now claim three wins to Rubio's zero. So how and why would Cruz exit? Bad night for Rubio.
— Frank Bruni (@FrankBruni) March 2, 2016
Cruz's logic is really off: he beat Trump 3 times. But, uh, Trump beat him 12 times. #SuperTuesday

Meanwhile, Marco Rubio might still win in Minnesota, but the only person still buying into #Marcomentum seems to be Marco Rubio:
“They have been downplaying the importance of getting any wins …” – John Roberts on Fox from Rubio HQ
— David Frum (@davidfrum) March 2, 2016
MSNBC: "Cruz and Rubio haven't been winning often." No. Rubio hasn't won at all.
— Nick Baumann (@NickBaumann) March 2, 2016
So now Marco has some sort of momentum because the lobbyists and govt workers in No. Virginia are voting for him?
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 2, 2016
That the GOP is now relying on Northern Virginia – of all places – to claim some sort of mandate against Trump is pathetic.

And Ben Carson says he’s not dropping out, for whatever that’s worth:
Still time for Ben Carson to turn this around. #SuperTuesday

Results from Minnesota, Vermont and Alaska are still to come. Stay tuned for updates.
