Ha! No, the reason Ted is doing well there is 1) it's a closed primary and 2) it's a caucus state. All those rabid Cruzers can beat the Trumpeters into submission.
Yup. Cruz just pulled ahead in Alaska. Trump seems to struggle in caucuses more than anywhere else.
Exactly. The primaries on Saturday are all closed primaries. Trump doesn’t do as well in closed primaries since Dems are more reluctant to switch party affiliations to be able to vote there. I would not be shocked to see Cruz have a big day on Saturday, especially if he can successfully drive home the narrative that he is the only alternative to Trump.
Trumpkins will say it’s only tiny Alaska, but a state is a state. That would be 4 states for Ted. The narrative starts to grow from there.
