Republican voters in Maine are gathering Saturday to participate in the presidential nominating caucus where pundits picked Donald Trump to win riding on the momentum he picked up on Super Tuesday and the endorsement from Maine Gov. Paul LePage. While there is a lack of polling for Saturday's elections, the results could be unpredictable as both Trump and Clinton have been weaker in caucus states that in primary states, as reported by the New York Times.
Results from Saturday's caucus will be announced by the party in Lewiston at 7 p.m. Unofficial results from Maine show Texas Sen. Ted Cruz winning in Portland as well as in Kennebec, Waldo and Hancock counties, the Bangor Daily News reports. Early results from the AP also show Cruz taking the lead in Maine.
"Let me say God bless Kansas, and God bless Maine," Cruz said during a speech at his election watch party in Idaho, Politico reported. Cruz has been declared the winner of the Kansas Republican caucus....

It is glorious to watch Rubio go down in flames.
Illegal immigration is THE issue. The sooner the GOPe accepts that the sooner they can get to not sucking.

Wouldn’t it be great if he flipped La and Kentucky and then moved on and flipped Fla.
Wow, I’m overwhelmed.
All Caucus’s Strange
Some political wonk today explained: Winning caucuses requires organization and enthusiasm: Cruz has both; Trump has only enthusiasm; Rubio has neither.
Rubio has plenty of foam, though.
Congrats. Now find the illegal and islamo scum and get them outta here.
Tons of foam
Pretty sure foam is the unspoken third ingredient for caucus success.
Rubio can’t break the threshold in Kansas, probably won’t in Kentucky and has single digits in Maine. He’s as delusional as Kasich if he stays in.
A link to the predictive poll?
Kentucky is only 5%, so Rubio will get a delegate or two.
Cruz was talking about that while Trump was still hosting his television show.
How dare you question his statement! LOL
I agree. Is Rubio even on the radar screen this evening?
Great. I’m in for contributing to an export fund to buy bus tickets to the border.
That makes sense.
I’m putting my ‘good glasses’ on this evening. So far, Rubio is MIA in the results.
