I see ONE certain win for Mr. Trump today: Louisiana.

I have no idea about Caucus states. The very idea of a Caucus is a turn off for me.

Nope just a gigantic paper overlay that you touched, with all of the choices listed. When you made your selection a green x light would show underneath the paper. Then you push a large submit button at the bottom.
Just weird.

I’m in broward co which is super liberal. So far I’ve not seen many yard signs for anyone. Today there were no volunteers or signage around around the polling place for any candidate which is very unusual. I’m going to swing by later to see if they get some people outside.

Gut feeling is that it’s Mr Trump by a good margin.

Trump did pretty well in NV which is a caucus state.

We switched from a late-May primary to today’s caucus, for the first time ever. My 85-year-old father also said its the first time KY has ever voted on a Saturday in his life. Gloomy, rainy day here and the party did a horribly bad job of getting the word out, yet at least three of my friends have reported mile-long lines at polling places.

Maine system is sortoff a caucus but not really.

22 voting locations, 3 hours to vote on paper ballots at each.

The locations suck though, a lot are one per county and this is a damn big state, with not many roads. Mine is an hour drive.

... and the dems have it in every town office.

I expect trump to do well as we have tons of paper mills that have been decimated by trade.

Hard to guess on actual results though, as there is no polling.

The incredibly popular Republican governor supports trump.

If there are 155 at stake, how is less than half (75) a huge win? Is it based on expectations that he would not do well in these four states?

Maines last precinct close at 7pm EST, and its not that big a one, all the others close earlier, I would expect results fairly quickly.

We left Broward in 1988. It was becoming the county of the something for nothing crowd way back then.

Caucus states will over perform for Cruz, Primary states will be brutal on Rubio.

Why do caucus states over perform for Cruz?

What is your feeling about Florida is Trump going to do OK???


FL is Trump Territory unless Cruz pulls enough votes from him to give it to Rubio, IMO. Cruz is a solid 3rd here. Really no reason for him to campaign here other than to hurt Trump.

My husband and I just voted for Ted Cruz at the KS caucus! The turnout is massive compared to prior years! My guess is that that may bode well for Trump in a state that with the usual turnout would easily go to Cruz. Voter enthusiasm was with Cruz and Trump.
