One phenomenon I'm seeing this election cycle is the "victory speech" made by candidates who have not, in fact, won. Marco Rubio has been making a number of these, but tonight it was John Kasich's turn. He came in third in Michigan, which is not a great result no matter how you spin it, but he made a "victory speech" anyway.

Have I just not noticed this before? I don't remember as many of these being made in previous cycles.
