If so, Northern Marianas Islands vote might be significant.
And you know what they say, As the Northern Marinara Islands go, so goes American Samoa.
Oh my !
Where are all the turds claiming ‘GOPe’, party hacks, etc. that were decrying the Wyoming Caucus...
This is great news, helps negate the weekend take of Ted’s...
Good start!
Heck yea, screw Wyoming ... we got Northern Mariana Islands!
Congratulations, Don! Your first majority! You're now tied with Lying Ted and Little Marco. Ted got a majority of the vote in the state of Wyoming, Marco got a majority in the territory of Puerto Rico, and you, Donny, you got the Northern Mariana Islands.
The Romney effect in play.
And on a funnier note: How ironic is it that the Northern Marianas Republicans are NOT Sea Island Republicans!
73%? That means 27% of the Republican oppose him! (snark)
I don’t understand why Puerto Rico, Guam, Mariana islands, etc... get to vote. Does anyone know why they do this? It’s not like they can vote for President so why do we want them choosing our nominee.
About 900 total votes were cast in Wyoming, Trump got 70.
Something seriously wrong with Wyoming.
Trump won a caucus?
Must be Cruz wasn’t aware there was one there, seeing as he mysteriously seem to win caucus’.
From sea to shining sea and all the islands within.
So Kasich got 10 votes and Cruz 5?
Is it true that when they all rushed into the single polling place, the island tipped over? Inquiring Democrats want to know.
Why the Marianas were important to Donald Trump, and no other candidate is likely to win the threshold:
Already Trump had won the GOP nominee threshold of having 100% of the delegates in 8 states, as per Rule 40 B:

“The Northern Marianas are a collection of 15 islands in the Pacific Ocean, located at about the focal point of the Pacific Rim. It’s a U.S. territory, 179 square miles of land — an area smaller than New York City — that happens to jut out above the surface of the water. And on Tuesday morning, before you even woke up, it made Donald Trump the first man to qualify for the Republican presidential nomination.
See, in the Northern Marianas, Tuesday began 14 hours before it began on the East Coast. So its Super Threesday caucus was done overnight, and Trump won all nine delegates. In doing so, the Northern Marianas became the eighth state or territory in which Trump won a majority of the delegates. (The others: South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Hawaii and Mississippi.) And according to the rules of the Republican convention, a candidate must “demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination.” No eight states, no nomination.
That’s the fabled Rule 40, which governs how the nomination process works, down to the length of time allotted candidates who wish to speak about their nominations. The eight-state thing is in Section B of the rule, and it is a pretty high bar to meet. (The party’s rules count territories as states under Rule 1.) After all, it’s not that Trump hasn’t won at least eight states; he has. But only in eight (including the Marianas) does he have a majority of delegates. In the others he has won — New Hampshire, Nevada, Arkansas, Vermont, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Michigan — he has a plurality of delegates. Not good enough.”
