Heading into Saturday’s GOP caucus in Kentucky, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump led the field in a recent survey with 35 percent of the vote. Thus, it’s not surprising that the race has been called for the real estate mogul. There are 46 Republican delegates at stake and they will be divided proportionally among the candidates based on results. This was the first time in decades Kentucky has used caucusing as a method to choose a party nominee (Thanks in no small part to Sen. Rand Paul). Despite some confusion and very long lines, the enthusiasm in the state was discernible. "Look at this –...

Trump will win Kentucky easily.

The Kentucky Republican Caucus on Saturday has been largely funded by Sen. Rand Paul who convinced the state party to switch from a primary format to get around a state law prohibiting someone from appearing on the ballot in multiple federal races. Paul was seeking a second Senate term and running as a 2016 GOP presidential candidate until he suspended his campaign last month.

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.

Republicans across Kentucky headed to the polls on Saturday for Kentucky's first-ever presidential caucus.

Eager to lock up the GOP nomination without a convention fight, Donald Trump battled Saturday to pad his lead in the delegate count as four more states delivered verdicts on the fractious Republican race for president. Democrats in three states were choosing between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Saturday’s GOP races in Maine, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana and Democratic contests in Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana were largely overshadowed by Super Tuesday contests in the rear-view mirror and critical contests soon to come. But with front-runner Trump yet to win states by the margins he’ll need in order to secure the...

At my local caucus location today here in Lexington KY there were hundreds of people voting. The guy who I got my ballot from said it was even busier earlier. He didn't know how many people had voted at the time but he estimated a couple thousand. I voted at 11:15AM. Only took me 5 minutes to vote because of the great organization.

Obamacare continues to be the policy issue that confounds grassroots conservatives, causing a major rift between activists and Republican politicians. Republican candidates across the nation tapped into voter anger over the unpopular health care program to propel their elections only to fail on the campaign pledges to end it. After years of promises, Congress finally passed a bill to repeal Obamacare in an effort to launch 2016 in a conservative direction. As expected, President Obama promptly vetoed the legislation, reminding the GOP of their futile efforts to repeal his health care plan. In his veto message, President Obama said...

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Republican Matt Bevin is a slight favorite to win Kentucky's race for governor this year, according to a group that analyzes political races. The Center for Politics, led by prominent political scientist Larry Sabato, on Thursday moved the race from "toss-up" to "leans Republican." Bevin, a Louisville businessman, faces Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway. "The national Democratic brand is toxic in Kentucky," analysts from Sabato's Crystal Ball said. "Bluegrass Democrats will want to keep the race local, but the U.S. Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling created an opening for Bevin to connect Conway to national politics."...
