I've done a bit of reading about the American system (gosh, it's convoluted) with the "Primary states", "Caucus states"….and within the Primary states, 4 different kinds. This all leads me to wonder about the 'quality' of wins vis-a-vis card-carrying Republicans.

One of the primary types is 'closed' which, as I understand it, means only Republican party members can vote. In yesterday's primaries, Trump's two wins were closed primaries. So, getting to the question, what do we deduce from the fact that Trump seems to be doing well with the Republican core?
