Something very significant about these five primaries that not many people talk about is that they are all CLOSED primaries. That is to say, only registered Republicans can vote in them (with exception of RI that allows Independents). Democrats were not allowed to vote in any of tonight's primaries.

So massive as the Donald Trump victories have been, we aren't even seeing the massive amounts of Independents and Democrats that will vote for him in November.

Believe it or not, Trump's victories tonight are UNDERSTATED!

And it puts to rest the meme that Trump can only win primaries that are OPEN.

Martha McCallum on Fox read a poll from Pa. which said 60 percent of the voters felt screwed by the establishment.
