March 8th Results: Idaho, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi

Hardcore protestants and mormons are breaking heavily for Cruz in this election. He has a stranglehold on the deeply religious.
 
A very good night for Trump. Despite being up in the polls in Michigan a lot of people were expecting him to only win Mississippi tonight. I don't think anyone expected him to win Idaho. Momentum is back in Trump's favor now. The next debate Thursday is their last chance to stop Trump.
 
Regarding the "You-have-to-have-the-majority-of-8-state-delegations-to-get-nominated-Rule" (ofc, they can change it at the convention), Cruz is getting closer to it if Rubio gets no delegates in Idaho. He has Texas, Kansas, Maine so far (as majority, not only plurality).
 
That was also a huge polling error (Sanders was polled at 23%, and won at 68%), but Kansas wasn't well-tracked, with only a few scattered polls. The big polling companies had no such excuse in Michigan. The numbers were just way, way off.

Ah, I wasn't even aware of that.

I meant for the GOP primary; just checked, it was a whopping 31 points!

As you say though, not many polls.

largest % of religious affiliation in state is mormon. probably had an affect - but it's just an anti-trump vote.

I didn't know that about the GOP caucus in KS. Good to know. Still, these results serve as a constant reminder to never trust MSM polls...

It will be interesting to see if that happens, as it would open up the possibility of a brokered convention.

When they are in rural areas at least.

Idaho changed to a primary from caucus and moved it up two months from May to today . . . and I have seen 15% and 20% threshold listed,
so bubble boy is on the bubble for Idaho delegates.

Cruz has won Idaho, according to A.P.

Any predictions for Hawaii?

I would assume either Rubio or Kasich, maybe Trump, definitely not Cruz.
Really hard to do any. Last time Romney won quite comfortably there, so I would guess Rubio will win.... really no one has a clue, I think.

Its a 20% threshold. See:
http://frontloading.blogspot.de/2016/01/2016-republican-delegate-allocation_25.html
 
I've seen it suggested that Hillary may have lost Michigan because of her supporters crossing over to vote against Trump instead of voting for her. Dumb feminists.
 

I had already seen that one . . . it says 20%


Another 8 delegates to still decide ?
