WICHITA, Kan. — Ted Cruz claimed the first prize in Saturday's four-state round of Republican voting, triumphing in Kansas as front-runner Donald Trump tried to pad his delegate lead in the fractious race for president. Democrats in three states were choosing between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Count Wichita's Barb Berry among those who propelled the Texas senator to victory in Kansas, his fifth win of the nominating race.
"I believe that he is a true fighter for conservatives," said Berry, a 67-year-old retired AT&T manager. As for Trump, Berry said, "he is a little too narcissistic."
Saturday's GOP races also included Maine, Kentucky and Louisiana, while Democrats voted in Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana. These states 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 nomination before the GOP convention, every one of the 155 GOP delegates at stake on Saturday was worth fighting for.

Yee Haaa!
And Hillary takes one more step towards the White House.
YOO HOO!
I thought he would, didn’t buy into the polls.
This is good news. Maybe people are waking up.
We disagree, so be it.
Thanks for congratulating the Cruz supporters. Classy.
Notice what happens when only republicans can vote in conservative states?
I’m curious to see how the unrepentant adulterer does in closed primary states. I suspect the race isn’t as “over” as the Trumpsters say it is. And yeah, I prefer Cruz over Trump.
me too.
Yes!!! Great news.
Check the POLLS on that!
GO TED GO!!!
Me too, in non caucus states.
A rare win for conservatives but I will take it. Is kansas open or closed primary?
Trump lost his bandwagon on Tuesday when it became clear he wasn’t going to run the table. My sister caucused for Trump in KS, had to wait in line for an hour and half ; was told “as many in first 30 minutes as the total in 2012.”
Eh he’s just being true to Trump. Its what he’d do.
I agree with you.
There is one bright side...
RUBIO IS GETTING ABSOLUTELY SLAUGHTERED EVERYWHERE!
That is not particularly a good thing. Cruz will not win without crossovers.
He’ll yeah! Cruz/Beck 2016. I can’t wait!
