Trump will win Kentucky easily.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Pike county just came in big for TRUMP!!!! 54/23. It’s clear that where people are allowed to vote and not caucus, Trump wins. Kentucky caucus was caucus in name only!
I have been out to dinner and just returned to hear the delegate allocation over the TV. I actually had no idea it was based on only 9% of the caucus results/vote in.
TRUMP to speak within the hour on CNN.
This needs to get to a two-man race between Trump and Cruz. A brokered convention will give the GOPe an opportunity to pull their parlor tricks.
I find it interesting that Kasich is not that far behind Rubio in KY. I think this race is about to swing hard away from Rubio.
He has done pitifully today. A complete non-factor, on a day that featured a Great Plains State, a Midwesterny Border State, a Northest State, and probably a Deep South state.
How is he supposed to win this race? Somebody will have to remind me.
Cruz beats Trump by 46-32 margin.
Only about 18,000 total Republican votes were cast at the Maine Caucus. I've seen more people at a single Trump rally!
Trump needs at least 69 delegates tonight to stay on track.
Where are you watching the Maine board?
Pitiful results tonight for Rubio. Kasich is emerging as the establishment pick. He is, to me, less objectionable than Rubio, just on style.
I still say that if this "never" movement is real, the establishment would consolidate behind Cruz tomorrow. If they don't, then we can be certain it is a sham.
LOUISIANA!!!
Donald Trump 45.9%
Ted Cruz 23.9%
Marco Rubio 20.4%
All Others 6.3%
John Kasich 3.5%
No, remember he was 18% ahead of the game at 338 (i.e., about 66). But if he finishes at 400 total delegates tonight, he’ll be in great shape and still ahead. His numbers keep growing in TN and Cruz’s keep falling.
First reports out of LA are Trump 46.5, Cruz 23.8, Rubes 21.
WOO HOO!!!!
LOUISIANA:
TRUMP 46%
CRUZ 24%
RUBIO 20%
it was 9% in then jumped to 100%. What’s up with low voter turnout in Maine? They under one of Stephen King’s zombie apocalypse numbers...
It’s 48.9% now! What happens if he gets over 50??
He might get close. Trump picked up 9 each from KS and ME. That gives him 18 already.
Kentucky has 45 delegates at stake. If Trump wins, he should get at least half of those. Louisiana has 47 delegates and if Trump wins that solid, he should also get at least half of those. That would give Trump around 64 for the night.
LS is better at this stuff than I am so I'll ping him.
I PRAY TO GOD HE DOES!!!!!!!!
Louisiana has a 20% floor for delegate allocation, so Little Marco could get shut out again.
19.999% means he gets none.
He might still be in play for some CD allocation. Each CD gets 3 which is proportionally allocated.
I have Trump at 37 for the night. How close he gets to 65 (my number) depends on the size of the victories in LA and KY, both of which are looking really good and trending well.
she said, "America prospers when we all prosper."
I've got to grab a pen and write that down....very profound stuff!
I just heard that too and then turned to t.v.
