Semi-Super Saurday.

[tatown]

According to Glenn ‘Bladerunner’ Beck, it’s an effective approach.

Cruz ahead with 45% of vote in Kansas GOP Caucus... Trump distant second with 30%.

Great news. Without the crossover Dimocraps trying to get Trump in so Hillary can wipe the floor with him, Trump may be in trouble.

[tatown]

Uh yes he has. Did you not hear his praise for Boobio?

[DrewsMum]

A LOT of people in LA are registered independents.... like a lot....

[NYRepublican72]

Of the four states today, Kansas is best demographically suited for Cruz.

Trump should win in LA and ME.

KY is a wildcard because they never really did a caucus before. It was set up so that Rand Paul could keep his Senate seat.

[goldstategop]

Last polls out of Kansas showed a tight Cruz-Trump race with a slight edge to Cruz.

I think he’ll take it.

Trump has big leads elsewhere so we’ll see how they hold up today.

[longtermmemmory]

It is still proportional which blunts everything.

cruz with almost 50% in Maine???????

[longtermmemmory]

Wasn’t Kansas changed at the last minute to protect Rand Paul because he was in danger of not meeting some qualification?

[grey_whiskers]

What precincts? (Or whatever Kansas calls the individual neighborhood-level voting unit)...

[goldstategop]

KY should go Trump - as will LA and ME where he has big leads.

KS should go Cruz.

[FreeReign]

Uh yes he has. Did you not hear his praise for Boobio?

Cruz is targeting Rubio voters with the message that he Cruz, is the one who can beat Trump.

[tatown]

Um Cruz is ahead 308 votes to 204 votes.

[builder]

Cruz supporter here. But these Maine and Kansas results are for less than 5% of the vote posted. WAY too early to even guess. I haven't seen an exit poll yet.

[DrewsMum]

Yea, that’s why I was asking about Maine....is that just a little conservative corner???

[Jim W N]

Amen Sister.

What will it take to put the federal government back into it’s constitutional cage? Well, it will certainly take more than man - it will take the Lord and his grace and mercy. I estimate that at least 80% of the $4 trillion central government is unconstitutional and is, therefore, by definition despotic. Cutting 80% of the central government would send hundreds of thousands of officials, bureaucratic heads, and government workers home packing. Short-term pain for them, long term recovery for America.

God bless.

[NYRepublican72]

I wouldn’t read anything into any results from ME. The caucuses are still ongoing. I am not sure if they were technically allowed to release anything until the last caucus is done at 7.

[goldstategop]

No exit polls.

But if the polls don’t hold up, it could upend the race.

If Trump can’t carry closed states and primaries, then Cruz can make up the delegate deficit and be on track for the nomination.

Today is gonna be a serious test of Trump’s ability to prevail without crossover voters.

And if he that ceiling of 30%, its not gonna be enough tonight.

The results are so minimal so far - that could just be an area where some Trump University students are currently residing on welfare and angry. smirk.

[Conservative Gato]

Just got back a bit ago with several of us voting for Trump in Kansas. It was very busy and the person that checked us in said it had been a very good turnout.
