It looks like they’ll catch him today! (SHAM/CRUZ)!
Respectfully, please don’t put words in my mouth. Honestly I detest all the rancor.
Trump is all alone! He’s out there almost a sixteenth mile ahead of the field!!!!
As of 8:18 EST here is where things stand as best I can calculate, keeping in mind that 65 delegates is a good night and keeps Trump ahead of the chains by more than 18% (these are delegates allotted if the numbers hold up):
KS Cruz 19 Trump 11
ME (only 45% of precincts in, a 900 vote difference): Cruz 9 Trump 8
KY Trump 20 Cruz 19 (falling)
TOTAL without LA: Trump 39 for a total of 375. If he gets 46% in LA, he finishes tonight with 396 (barring other changes in ME or KY). If Cruz gets 30% or below in KY, he finishes the night with 56, Trump at 46% finishes with 60.
I couldn’t care less. Have a nice day.
Oh no! Cruz just won the counties of Rowan and Martin! This must be some kind of a effing joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROTFLMAO here in our house! Thanks!
It’s already been called for Cruz ;-)
LS Cruz can not win Maine. See 2012, 2008!
He can’t get the southern primary vote against Trump, but he could against Hillary. These are all good candidates, and the 2 frontrunners each have unique strengths.
Wrong! Trump wins KY easily. And Maine.
Trump by 5,000 votes! in KY
Paddy Irish, I should be drinking what you are drinking!
TRUMP IS MOVING LIKE A TREMENDOUS MACHINE!
I know what I’m talking about!
You too!
If Trump hangs on in KY and wins LA solidly, it should slightly offset Cruz’s wins in KS and ME. That will leave the state of the race essentially unchanged between Trump and Cruz. Rubio looks to slip even further behind - he’s having an awful night so far.
Are you watching the results on Decision Desk? Are the numbers even moving in Maine? I’m trying to follow your optimism.
Maine is already lost...Cruz won it according to the link at the beginning of this thread. It was the first to call Kansas as well.
KY will probably go to Trump. Is it winner take all or proportional? If split then it really doesn’t matter that much other than bragging rights.
Cruz will never win Maine! There are zero real Cruz supporters in Maine. He organized the 2 or three caucus sites that close early with his people.
