Sanders, Rubio take Minnesota caucus
Sanders takes 60 percent
of vote, Rubio 37
With 92-percent of the voting in, it looks as though Bernie Sanders destroyed Hillary Clinton in the Minnesota caucus.
With 3,761 of 4,109 precincts reporting, Sanders had 60 percent (109,049 votes) to Clinton’s 40 percent (71,549).
On the Republican side, it looks as though sanity reared its head for those who fear Trump running for president – as much of his opponents do.
Marco Rubio won with 37 percent of the votes (41,073). Ted Cruz was second at 29 percent (32,242) and Trump a distant third at 21 percent (23,650).
Here’s what the rest of Super Tuesday looked like across the country.
