Donald Trump made the right decision to skip the Conservative Political Action Conference to campaign in Kansas and Florida because he needs to win those states — along with Ohio, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan told
Newsmax TV on Friday.
"The Florida primary, which is March 15, is going to be crucial — and it may even be decisive in terms of whether Marco Rubio continues in this race," Buchanan, who ran for the White House three times, told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth.

Kansas holds its caucus on Saturday. Ohio's primary is also held on March 15.
"If Donald Trump can win Florida and Ohio, which is much closer right now, where Gov. [John] Kasich is running — if he wins those two, it's a straight glide to the nomination," Buchanan said.
"If he loses those two, we are going to have a contested convention."
