Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is projected to be the winner of the Maine Republican caucus, with Donald Trump in second....

[Nextrush]

100 percent of the vote counted:

Ted Cruz 45.9 percent 8,550
Donald Trump 32.6 percent 6,070
John Kasich 12.2 percent 2,270
Marco Rubio 8.0 percent 1,492
All Others 1.3 percent 245

Remember what Jim said.

Either Cruz or Trump is preferable to Hitlery.

That was funny. One second I’m looking at it’s 9% counted, the next second it’s 100% counted.

May, those ME counters work fast.

[Drew68]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in those smoke-filled backrooms of the GOP establishment right now. "TAKING OUT DONALD TRUMP DID NOT MEAN HANDING VICTORIES TO TED F***ING CRUZ!!!"

The establishment is not having a very good night.

Cruz 2016!

[RitaOK]

Ted kicks it in caucus states. Looking forward to KY and LA.

Kentucky is winner take all, is that right?

TRUMP 2016

[Charles Henrickson]

That would be a MAJORITY of the delegates for CRUZ!

[mlizzy]

Congratulations Ted Cruz!

That was funny. One second I’m looking at it’s 9% counted, the next second it’s 100% counted. May, those ME counters work fast.

Actually it was at 9% for a long time, then 45% for a long time and then 100%.

So I would say that they count slowly and update sporadically.

CNN cut live to the head of the Maine Republican Party reading the results. Cruz got 3 more delegates than Trump.

[bog trotter]

Isn’t there a pic anywhere that Ted doesn’t look as though he’s passing a kidney stone? or constipated?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

No, that would be a plurality. TDS is eating away at your ability to think, Charles. I know you’re better than this.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Sorry, it’s either that or the one where he’s eating a booger.

[Ingtar]

12 is more than half of 23, and thus a majority.

[norwaypinesavage]

" I’ll give him that!"

Actually, he won it.

[LS]

Trump is at 22 delegates in LA. I don’t know if he gets additional delegates there, but as of now he would be at 59, barely under the number I had for him to stay ahead of pace. If he gets just six extra delegates in LA or TN before the end of the night, it’s in fact a huge win despite the Cruzbots’ claims about ME and KS.

[ScottinVA]

Congrats to Trump for winning LA.

[Charles Henrickson]

12 out of 23 is a majority.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I stand corrected. I apologize.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Don’t forget KY. :-)
