He will end up winning four of the five states that were in play tonight, sweeping except for ohio. Really none of the wins are bigger in terms of the margin or the effects on the race than his win in florida where hes expected to win by 20 points when all the votes are counted, and he will sweep the 99 delegates that florida has available, and he gets a huge boost of momentum here, not just for knocking out marco rubio but for what it does for winning another big, diverse state in the general election, and he did it despite the enormous barrage of attack ads.
