Nebraska GOP Primary 2016: Trump an Early Favorite
Heavy ^ | 05/03/2016 | Jonathan Adams

Nebraska is the next stop on the campaign trail for the GOP candidates. The Nebraska Republican primary will take place May 10 with 36 delegates at stake.

The delegates are awarded in winner-take-all fashion with the candidate with the most votes statewide winning all 36 delegates. There have been no early polls taken in Nebraska but this will likely change in the coming days.

PredictWise aggregates the betting markets to project primary winners. They give Donald Trump a 71 percent chance of winning the state while Ted Cruz has just a 29 percent chance of pulling off the upset.

Ben Sasse has egg on his face.

I think this and other upcoming states’ polls contributed to Ted’s decision. The tide was turning and it didn’t look good. Kudos to him for reading the tea leaves.

I think its great salesmanship that The Donald is going to continue to visit all the states to solidify the vote not only for the primaries but the general. Wonder if he has Hawaii and Alaska on his schedule?

Yep, Trump will likely take the remaining states and they get to vote in Nebraska.

Senator Ben Sasse doesn’t go to the bathroom without calling the Rickets Family

What a difference a day makes.

Prior to Indiana No One really thought that Trump would do well in Nebraska. Perhaps Ted’s internal polling showed this trend and that is why he left. It would add insult to injury if he lost Nebraska

Quite possibly, it will be interesting to see how Kasich fares after Cruz has dropped out........

I don’t think there’s much to get excited about in future primaries now that Cruz has dropped out. I guess Kasich is sticking around, but it’s clear that nobody really takes him seriously. I would be surprised if Trump lost Nebraska and PPP shows him winning HUGE in West Virginia.

Don’t think Trump will lose any of the remaining primaries, I do wonder about why Kasich is continuing to run........

Well Katich is supposedly dropping out this afternoon

You really didn’t think that voters would go for Katich over Trump did you?

Was a strong state for Cruz, but now that he’s out, it will be a clean Trump sweep.

NB’s 36 delegates and WVA’s 28 delegates = 64 will push Trump to 1124 delegates.

That leaves Trump 113 short of the magic number.
