Yeah, it is slow. But we don’t do caucus. We’re a May primary state. This is all because of Rand Paul and we’re doing the best we can.
Huge turnout. Takes a long time to count paper ballots. Once we hear from Jefferson county (Louisville) the media will call the state.
Well a draw where Trump racks up more delegates than Cruz. Its all about delegate count.
Lots of opportunity for mischief if any were so inclined.
To explain:
Rand Paul’s senate seat is up this year and he could not legally run for two offices on the primary ballot at the same time.
So the Republican party in Kentucky agreed to hold a caucus instead for the presidential nominee and Paul was listed today on the paper ballot. We will still have our usual primary in May but it will have nothing to do with president. Paul will be on that ballot running for his senate seat.
Paul is also paying for the caucus.
And cruise got destroyed in Louisiana which has more deligates....
Based on the amount of votes difference in Maine I wouldn’t call that a thrashing
I meant Cruz
And I meant delegates....damn auto correct.
Fox is open-borders and globalist owned and influenced. Trump is a major threat to their agenda.
What a disgrace of a ‘network’.
All in what your goals are. Trump’s goal is 1256 delegates and he began the night 14% ahead of the pace. After tonight he’ll be 10% ahead of the pace and Cruz 40% behind.
I know which position I would rather be in.
Kenton county (3rd largest) has reported now and it went for Cruz 33-28. Trump still ahead state-wide by 6% (5500 votes). Still nothing from Lexington or Louisville.
This is a typical Democrat strategy. Hold the urban cores until the rest of the state is in then report late. Sad to see the GOP doing the same thing.
“Put CNN. I think John King is one of the best reporters.
I will also add that I think Cuomo is actually fair despite his family.”
The contortions you Trumpsters will put yourselves through is just amazing! Don’t you think about what your saying? You are supporting a candidate that supported Kerry over Bush! I wouldn’t haven’t pissed on Kerry if he was on fire even if my business depended on it! How can you possibly just ignore this?
Lexington has reported. It went Cruz 29-25. Trump’s lead is now just under 5%.
It's not the GOP: it is the GOP-e.
Rubio is no better than 16.7% in any of the four states.
There’s no way on earth they will be able to prop him up at the convention as the nominee. He’s on life support.
Louisiana now 3% difference with 48% counted.
Trump just won Jefferson county by 1.5%.
“Well a draw where Trump racks up more delegates than Cruz. Its all about delegate count.”
Momentum may be shifting to Cruz.
Kentucky has one liberal enclave: Louisville.
And Trump is winning because of Louisville.
Any questions?
