No.

Tons of blue collars will come out for Trump. Cruz has only been here twice in the past 6 months.

I expect the Clinton Sanders race to be close.

I’d be ok with those wins for all. In fact I welcome them.

Little to no polling outside of Michigan, so a volatile day.

Michigan has over 10% undecided and Idaho, with it’s single poll, has 30% undecided.

Cruz does very well among last day deciders. So he could close the gap dramatically and come in a solid second in Michigan and win Idaho.

Mississippi will probably run like the rest of the south with Trump winning by a slim to comfortable margin.

No polls in Hawaii, but very few GOP are there (7 out of 51 in the State House, 1 out of 25 in the State Senate). The only GOP State Senator just endorsed Cruz a couple of days ago.

In the Cruz surge continuing? We’ll see with the final delegate count. If Trump gets less than 70 and Cruz gets more than 50, Cruz solidifies the narrative that he is the only legitimate candidate besides Trump.

Better hope Trump wins em all. The rest can’t win FL and OH in the general.

The big thing about Idaho is it is winner take all if you get 50% plus. If Cruz can get to 50% in Idaho, he could actually come out ahead in delegates on the night even if he loses the rest of the states because all the rest are proportional.

Also, another big thing to watch is the floor in some of these states. Some are at 20%, others at 15%. Does not bode well for Rubio and Kasich in some of these states.

Waiting patiently for any evidence of fraud in ME. Waiting. Wating. Waiting.

Trump losing is not evidence of fraud. He clearly has a ceiling in terms of popular support and seems to underperform with respect to the polls. Not a good sign if you are at Trumpeter or Trumpette.

The RNC / State RP has foolish rules in all four races. Same-day registration, open participation in the Big 2, etc.

No clue what will happen today.
