UPDATED 8:20 p.m. PT with Marco Rubio's Minnesota win.

Marco Rubio has the best chance to defeat Hillary Clinton -- according to Marco Rubio.

While the Super Tuesday votes continue to roll in, the presidential hopeful appears to be feeling confident. Some pundits actually consider Rubio's second and third-place finishes promising. He did win Minnesota, after all. As the leading establishment candidate, Rubio rightfully considers himself the best candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Only problem?

He has only won one state -- and people on Twitter have caught on.

The Internet went after Rubio on Super Tuesday for failing to score delegates, but still identifying as a winner. Here are just a few of their spot-on observations:

When you're feeling down, just remember you have won as many states as Marco Rubio.— Salena (@delaroseeee) March 2, 2016

I wonder how hard the press with sell "Rubio still surging" tomorrow, even though he was the big loser of the night?— Ed Brubaker (@brubaker) March 2, 2016

Marco Rubio is either the most optimistic loser of all-time or the dumbest man in America. Winless people don't usually talk crap.— Walt Deptula (@deptulahasrage) March 2, 2016

Has anyone noticed how often Rubio loses?
1. Gang of Eight - lost
2. IA - lost
3. NH - lost
4. SC - lost

How can a loser make America win?— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) February 21, 2016

If loser Rubio got all of loser Jeb's votes or visa versa they'd still be losers. SC, like the entire US, is fed up with machine politicians— Ann Lynch (@AnnLynch3) February 21, 2016

Nobody has worked harder for a participant ribbon than Marco Rubio.— SecuriTay (@SwiftOnSecurity) March 2, 2016

Marco Rubio might have a chance at winning for the establishment, if he could, you know, win.
