Ted Cruz claimed an easy victory in Kansas, and Republicans said he won Maine in Saturday's four-state round of Republican voting, fresh evidence that there's no quick end in sight to the fractious GOP race for president. Cruz and Trump were in a tight race for Kentucky.

Cruz has so far won two states he wasn't supposed to win according to the polls!

Trump is underperforming

That’s why Trump is beating him by 13 in KY? The only poll we had was Trump . . . by 13.

Both small caucus states. Polls are worthless. Too easy to cheat.

Trump will win KY and LA.

Cruz can’t win in the South and should move back to Canada.

Kansas was built for Cruz. Too religious like Oklahoma.

Trumo proclaiming he’d order American soldiers to kill the women and children of jihadis didn’t go over too well eh?

In the Kansas caucus, we had to be registered...as a republican, and verified by photo id. IE closed caucus and voter id.

So I’m curious to hear what you know about cheating.

Yes, go Cruz, pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes to Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show. I caught his act at CPAC and that’s exactly what he reminded me of. He can take his pal Beck along to hustle the rubes with gold and silver.

“Too religious.”

“Too conservative.”

I’ve seen both of these statements presented as and meant to be diparaging of Cruz.

Never thought I’d see that on this board.

Trump wins the pink and purple counties and states. Cruz wins the country club meetings.

Looks like Trump will win KY. I wonder why they haven’t called it yet? I wonder what the exit poling is saying?

Previous Kansas caucus winners:

2012 Mike Huckabee 59.58%
2008 Rick Santorum 51.2%

Looks like Cruz is underperforming.

In Kansas Trump was supposed to win by 6 points. He lost very very badly (25 points bad). That’s 31 point polling error!

Hell at this rate Cruz can win Michigan and Florida!

Good point! It’s sad—Obama has fundamentally transformed America when FR says those things and people don’t get banned. :-(

LOL. How about posting the other states those guys won? You know the ones that Trump won as well. In fact, they have more in common with Trump wins than with Cruz victories. So you’re making our case for us.
