Super Tuesday III, USA primary election results & projections
Rubio drops out as Trump wins Florida, North Carolina and Illinois primaries; Kasich takes Ohio, http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-gop-primaries-20160315-story.html
A short extract from it:
Donald Trump romped to a landslide victory Tuesday in Florida, dealing a devastating blow to home-state Sen. Marco Rubio, who abruptly quit the race and removed one more obstacle to the businessman’s march toward the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump also won the Illinois and North Carolina primaries, networks projected, but Ohio Gov. John Kasich prevailed in his home state, fueling the hopes of those seeking to stop Trump and throw the race open at a contested convention this summer.

Kasich, the Boulder Between the G.O.P. and Trump, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/opinion/campaign-stops/kasich-the-boulder-between-the-gop.html
A short extract from it:
There was a time, people, when you would really not have been throwing confetti in the air just because a Republican governor who believes “you’ve got to help people that are downtrodden and poor” won the presidential primary in his own state. But we are where we are.

Around 0:30 in the video, Rubio says:
People are very frustrated about the direction of our country. .. People are frustrated. In 2007 and 2008 there was a horrible downturn in our economy and these changes that are happening to our economy are disrupting people's lives, and people are very upset about it. And they are told that .. People are angry. They are frustrated. They are being left behind by this economy and then they are told, look if you are against illegal immigration that makes you a bigot. And if you see jobs & businesses leaving to other countries you have no right to be frustrated.... And quite frankly there are millions of people in this country that are tired of being looked down upon. Tired of being told by these self-proclaimed elitists that they don't know what they are talking about and they need to instead listen to the so called smart people. And I know all these issues first-hand. I have lived paycheque to paycheque. I grew up paycheque to paycheque. I know what it is like to have to figure out how to find the money to fix the air conditioner that broke last night. I know my parents struggled and I know millions of people (that) are doing that. I know immigration in America is broken. No one understands this issue better than I do. My parents are immigrants. My grandparents were immigrants. Jeanette's [Ravi: his wife's] parents were immigrants. I live in a community of immigrants. I have seen the good and the bad and the ugly.
--- end Rubio 1st quote ---
At around 3:30 in the video, Rubio says:
So, from a political standpoint, from a political standpoint the easiest thing to have done in this campaign is to jump on all those anxieties I just talked about, to make people angrier, make people more frustrated. But I chose a different route and I am proud of that. Because that would have been, in a year like this that would have been the easiest way to win. But that is not what is best for America. The politics of resentment against other people will not just leave us (as) a fractured party, (they are) going to leave us (as) a fractured nation. They are going to leave us as a nation where people literally hate each other because they have different political opinions.
--- end Rubio 2nd quote ---
Around 10:15 in the video, Rubio says,
I ask the American people, do not give in to the fear. Do not give in to the frustration. We can disagree about public policy. We can disagree about it vibrantly, passionately. But we are a hopeful people. We have every right to be hopeful. For we in this nation are descendants of go-getters. In our veins runs the blood of people who gave it all up so that we could have the chances they never did. We are all the descendants of someone who made our future the purpose of their lives. We are the descendants of pilgrims. We are the descendants of settlers. We are the descendants of men & women that headed Westward in the Great Plains not knowing what awaited them. We are the descendants of slaves who overcame that horrible institution to stake their claim in the American dream. We are the descendants of immigrants and exiles who knew and believed they were destined for more, and that there was only one place on earth where that was possible. This is who we are. And let us fight to ensure that this is who we remain. For if we lose that about our country we will still be rich and will still be powerful but we will no longer be special.
--- end Rubio 3rd quote ---
Around 11:55 in the video, Rubio says:
And I want you to know that I will continue every single day to search for ways for me to repay some of this extraordinary debt that I owe to this great country. And I want to leave with an expression of gratitude to God in whose hands all things lie. He has a plan for every one of our lives. Everything that comes from God is good. God is perfect. God makes no mistakes. And He has things planned for all of us. And we await eagerly to see what lies ahead. And so I leave tonight with one final prayer. And I use the words of King David because I remain grateful to God. 'Yours O Lord is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty. Indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth. Yours is the dominion O Lord. And you exalt yourself as head over all. Both riches and honour come from you and you rule over all. And in your hand this power and might and it lies in your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.'
May God strengthen our people. May God strengthen our nation. May God strengthen the conservative movement. May God strengthen the Republican party. May God strengthen our eventual nominee and may God always bless and strengthen this great nation, the United States of America. Thank you and God bless you all. Thank you very much.
