Trump will never win a caucus state. The Establishment runs caucus states.

Could be a momentum changer today. I’ve been pulling for Trump for a while, but he’s becoming too big of an embarrassment even for me. I vote in michigan on Tuesday and right now I’m leaning toward Kasich.

If that were the case it wouldn't have been Cruz that won.

In that case they've done a piss-poor job of it, with Cruz winning in IA and KS, and Rubio barely making it in MN on the one day where winning in MN would be of no help, given the other 10 states taking the spotlight.

It's Trump v. Cruz, and that's a choice most FReepers should be able to live with, and the establishment can't possibly hope for.

He got more than Romney or McCain in Kansas and Cruz won by less than Santorum or Huckabee so we are making progress...

I find it stunning they are cheerleading a win that 20,000 people voted for Cruz. Really? Lord we will win the national election with that? We are in deep trouble if Cruz is our nominee.

Yeah because the establishment loves Cruz! Trump is a liberal, doesn’t do well without Democrat crossovers voting to give Hillary an easy opponent

Didn’t he win in Nevada? Hasn’t he lost in every other state where Democrats can vote in the Republican primary.

I read that 1/3 of Maine voters are registered independents. That means they cannot vote in a republican caucus. The caucus system appears to disenfranchise the independent and crossover votes that would help in an open primary and general election. Kind of like shooting yourself in the foot.

You do realize the establishment hates Cruz, right?

Don’t be like that.

There are a few states with trucon majorities, Cruz should do well in them.

Can’t win the general, not in a million years, but don’t begrudge him his wins.

If the Establishment runs caucus states, then why didn't Rubio or Kasich win?
