How did Cruz win Maine? It’s the hardcore conservatives that usually rally around Cruz, but I thought the entire left coast was a liberal bastion. Did all the conservatives in the Northeast retreat from the progressive hellholes of New York and Vermont to their fallback position in Maine in the thin hope that a conservative revolution would save them before the Commies push them into the Atlantic?
In all seriousness, Maine voters do tend to the left; the state as a whole hasn’t voted for a Republican Presidential nominee since 1988, so I'm wondering if Cruz’s victory is a sign that the field is narrowing to two real contenders which forced the generally moderate state to back Cruz as their perceived lesser of two evils. Rubio, the more establishment candidate, didn't manage to get within a hundred yards of single victory in any of the Super Saturday states whereas Trump and Cruz both took two states apiece though the laurels belong to Trump since his states carried more delegates. Still, the narrowing of the field is a good sign for anyone opposed to a Trump presidency, but for Cruz to win, he still needs Rubio to drop. If Rubio doesn't bail soon, only Trump will have any real chance of winning the required delegates and securing the GOP nomination
Any predictions on what will happen?
