Tonight, the RNC is in denial. In their official statement on Super Tuesday's results they offered plenty of bluster about Democrats but conspicuously didn't congratulate or mention any of their candidates by name.

@BenjySarlin<https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/704866214057742336>: RNC Statement tonight brags about high GOP turnout, bashes Clinton and Sanders. No mention-- at all-- of their own candidates.

@sahilkapur<https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/704866157023481856>: As Trump and Cruz claim all the victories thus far, the RNC statement on Super Tuesday focuses on the Democrats.

@rickklein:<https://twitter.com/rickklein/status/704866104217313280> RNC statement doesn't say "Donald Trump," but does mention Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and President Obama.

@GarrettQuinn:<https://twitter.com/GarrettQuinn/status/704869861361635328> MassGOP statement on primary doesn't mention Donald Trump even though he won nearly 50% of the vote

@APDiploWriter<https://twitter.com/APDiploWriter/status/704872415411597312>: Is it normal that the RNC statement on Super Tuesday doesn't mention a GOP candidate?

@JenniferJJacobs:<https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/704875978586263552> Reince Priebus in statement talks about record R turnout. If Trump were any other candidate, would estab be crowning presumptive nominee?
