Delegates awarded in Maine:

Cruz - 12
Trump - 9
Kasich - 2
Rubio - 0

Rubio shut out of any delegates. Ouch.

Is the headline correct on this one, or did Trump win? :wink:

I hope every nutcase in every future RePub Primary previously thinking about going for Trump switches for Cruz because of that face (or ANYTHING else :laughing:) .

Maine Governor LePage enthusiastically endorses Trump, Trump loses Maine to Cruz. I like it!

It’s not enough - Cruz needs to win 59% of the remaining delegates to win - he won 12 out of 23 here which is only, um, 53% maybe? Trump needs 51%, so we’ll see what the count is after today…

Same goes for Palin and Alaska!

Cruz overperformed in delegates so far tonight vs. his target numbers over at FiveThirtyEight. Trump has underperformed tonight, and Rubio is dead-man-walking.

Tonight Cruz needed 29 delegates out of Kansas and Maine, he is getting 36. Trump needed 27 out of those two states, and is coming out of them with 18. Rubio needed 23, netted 6.

Anecdotal evidence for sure but I was at a Maine Repub caucus and a number of people I spoke with just couldn’t handle the middle school subject matter of the last debate. So very un-presidential - can you imagine?

If he also loses in New Jersey, there’ll be a trend!

Al would probably be a wiser choice …

He’s hideous.

Cruz is creepy, dishonest, sleazy, shady, and an ideologue.

He cannot win in November.

It IS the most punchable face in Congress without doubt!

Not sure why the Maine Republican party had so few places to caucus. The PPP said just north of 18,000 voters showed up. Not a stunning majority, but those that made the trek were enthusiastic. Will be interesting to see how many Dem’s show up today at the caucus.

BTW: I felt a little guilty, but I did snicker when The Donald said Cruz did well in Maine because it was close to Canada.

The Triumph of the Swill!
A Christian Nazi versus a Businessman Nazi. And people wonder why I am proud to say I am a lifelong Democrat.

TPM. Please remove this photo…

I thought his visage was offal when he was being earnest. But, it’s creepier when the Face of Cruz is smiling.
