We can debate many things about the outcome of Super Tuesday, but one thing should be indisputable: Marco Rubio is hands down the biggest loser of 2016.

Don't let the "he's no longer winless!" line convince you otherwise. After 17 contests, the one-time pundit-appointed frontrunner has eked out just one win, in Minnesota. That might be one more than John Kasich and Ben Carson. But you can't be a loser if no one ever seriously considered you a possible winner.
