In Maine the only difference between a caucus and a primary is the number of voting locations statewide. I live in Maine, there were only 20 +- locations to vote, you didn’t have to stay for any speeches, just walk in and vote and leave. Closed voting only registered republicans.
Paul LePage is governor of Maine, he’s a bit of an embarrassment to the party. He tends to bloviate in ways that suggest racism, or arrogance. He was nearly impeached last year, but the party stood for him and blocked it!
LePage was very fortunate that he had an independent straw in both gubernatorial elections or he would not have won. He only got about 42 percent of the vote both times.
Trump lost here because we know where this kind of blowviating leads, we have experience. His endorsement carries very little weight with the Maine Republican party!
Finally as a Mainer, let me be frank, neither Trump or Cruz will win Maine, we are one of the bluest states in the Nation, sadly!
But it is absolutely beautiful here, that’s why i stay, even as a Texan!
That still sounds like a screwy way to do things. I think Cruz excels in quirky situations.
