Donald Trump Wins Kentucky Caucus
Townhall.com ^ | March 5, 2016 | Leah Barkoukis

Posted on 03/06/2016 9:58:19 AM PST by Kaslin

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 – there are lines of people waiting to vote," said Gov. Matt Bevin, who visited one of the caucus locations in Jefferson County to cast his ballot. "For everybody who thinks that having a caucus in Kentucky was not a good thing, have you ever seen this kind of enthusiasm for a primary in the state of Kentucky? You never have."

It’s nice to not vote around Democrats in the caucus instead of the primary. I was always outnumbered about 10-1 and always invariably heard a snide comment.

No, the Cruzbots are so used to taking turns posting the same article 3 or 4 times that he just forgot he was responding this time.

Great graphic, but you need to lose the apostrophe in the word, “RINO’S”.

Do you really have to be such an ass about such trivial things?

The newbie has as much right to voice an opinion here, as you do.

If you notice that noobie has never anything of substance to say. All he does is post ridiculous pictures that have nothing to do with the articles I post, and that is factual.

That is correct. It was set up so Senator Rand Paul could run for his Senate seat if he has to drop out as presidential candidate.

It really irked me that he already made it clear in 2013 that his intention was to run for president in the 2016 election.

I hope the Kentucky voters will send him back to Bowling Green so he has to continue with his professional occupation as Ophthalmologist
