"Yes, a Trump supporter actually heckled Rubio’s concession speech."

As the extent of Trump’s landslide victory became clear soon after polls closed in most parts of the state at 7 p.m., some Rubio supporters seemed to be half-heartedly holding out hope for a miracle.

Peter Martinez, a campaign volunteer, gazed up at TV screens set to Fox News with a look of near disbelief.

"I can’t understand why they would have those numbers," he said. "It might turn better."

Then, shortly after Rubio took the stage, a pro-Trump protester had to be escorted off the premises. Yes, a Trump supporter actually heckled Rubio’s concession speech. That’s just about the way this campaign has gone.

Told him he needed to watch the "bully" scene in "Christmas Story." Rubio did not reply.

"Let’ dispel once and for all with the fiction that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he is doing, he knows exactly what he is doing. He just engineered you out of the race to the White House."

And then, he was pushed out of the room.
