Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) locked up another win on “Super Saturday” after MSNBC and CNN projected him to win the Maine GOP caucuses.

Maine’s caucus day was an unpredictable one. While Trump did snag an endorsement from Gov. Paul LePage (R), there was no polling on the state of the race in that state and its caucus format is unpredictable, according to The Boston Globe.

Many told the Globe that they were expecting low voter turnout in Maine because there “just isn’t that much excitement.” Only Cruz and Trump have visited Maine out of all the GOP candidates.

  2. Delegates awarded in Maine:

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

    Rubio shut out of any delegates. Ouch.

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

  4. 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:) .

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