I had specified Liberal New Hampshire in an earlier message.
A state could be one or the other, and I'm guessing if Cruz loses in it, it might be both as far as you're concerned.
I expected Cruz to lose in Liberal New Hampshire. I expected him to Win in South Carolina until I found out it was an open primary state. I still expected him to win, but I said last week that if he doesn't, it will most likely be due to the fact that South Carolina has an open primary.
Allowing Democrats and Independents to vote for Republican Candidates can only dilute the party's preference.
“Allowing Democrats and Independents to vote for Republican Candidates can only dilute the party’s preference.”
Nonsense. You need their participation in the general. You may get an odd (chaos op) outcome in one state but open primaries also give you an indication of your candidates demographic draw in a general. And in that regard SC told the tale on both Trump and Cruz..
