Trump could not stop him from getting the nomination because most of Vermont's Republicans are not Trumpian. Haley beat him Vermont. Yes, anyone can vote in either primary because there is no registration by party.

In fact, if Scott were defeated in the primary, the Democrats would very likely win the governorship, where Scott is highly favored.
