Seems to prove that Trump will do better in November.

Well, NC is semi closed. Democrats can’t vote in the R primary and R’s can’t vote in the D’s. Same with any declared party like Constitution, Libertarian of Greens.

Non affiliated voters can request a ballot for any of the above parties.

The catch is that if you, as a non affiliated voter, get an R ballot and the D’s require a run off you can’t go back and vote in it. Your stuck with the party you pick for the primary process.

This is still a D county but we score a win every now and again.

So Cruz doesn’t appeal beyond the base. Great, let’s elect him

Actually, concluding Trump does better in open primaries (not a scientific conclusion but one low IQ people make) means people should be voting for Trump since the actual election is an open election.

I’m curious - Did Trump do any advertising in some or all of yesterdays primary states?

I hate open primaries. Democrats can participate in voting for who they want their inevitable Democrat nominee to go up against in the general election. Then turn around and vote for the Democrat.

Ok so based on this Cruz talking point, the 4 closes primaries on Saturday will all go to Cruz.

There you go Cruz team, you are saved!

I'm a Trump supporter, but glad Cruz did OK yesterday.

If Trump had swept, then Cruz would be gone from the race. I want to see Cruz a strong Number 2. It will result in a "unity ticket" - Trump/Cruz

Somewhere I read an article indicating that a fair percentage of Trump’s support comes from people who currently identify Republican, but are registered Democrats. I thought at the time that that’s probably true. The Trump fans I know in real life are social conservatives and fiscal moderate-to-liberal (60’s liberals?), but generally not registered Republicans.

IIRC in past election there has been wholesale crossover dims voting in open primary states for the repub candidate deemed most likely to be beaten .
I don’t hold much credence in open v closed results.
