Ted Cruz Wins Upset Victory in Maine Primary

After scoring an predictable win in the Evangelical stronghold of Kansas, Ted Cruz cemented his comeback against Trump with a major victory in Maine, a state that has historically backed protectionist candidates.

“Any time you hear someone talking about a brokered convention, it is the Washington establishment in a fevered frenzy. They’re really frustrated because all of their chosen candidates, all of the golden children, the voters keep rejecting,” Cruz said at CPAC today, according to RedState

“And so they’ve seized on this master plan, we go to a brokered convention and the D.C. power brokers will drop someone in who is exactly to the liking of the Washington establishment. If that would happen we will have a manifest revolt on our hands all across this country.”

As of Saturday, Cruz has 255 delegates to Trump’s 338.
