    I think this is a blessing in disguise for Marco Rubio. The fact that Rubio came in so close to Trump makes Trump vulnerable to both candidates from Cruz that ultimately will lose momentum as the other states are in play and from Rubio who will start to pick up even more momentum as the process plays out.
