Donald Trump was holding a commanding (and expected) lead over Ted Cruz in the Kentucky Republican caucuses as results came in Saturday night.

PING!
Looks like this is going to be a great night for Trump as far as delegate counts.
At this juncture - I would recommend that Rubio and Cruz drop out of the race.
40%-31 with 53/134 precincts, but not Lexington or Louisville, which is why I guess they are waiting to call it. Trump has a 6,200 vote lead.
Watching analysis on Fox right now it is only about Cruz and Rubio zero acknowledgement of Trump, except how to stop him.
Yahoo! A bad night for Rubio as always. (snicker) and it will be even worse for him in Florida on the 15th.
Why do we bother to have dedicated Live Threads in Breaking News?
An update on Kentucky.
Trump is up 6000 votes but there are no results yet from the 3 large counties, Jefferson (Louisville), Fayette (Lexington) or Kenton (Covington).
CNN JUST CALLED TRUMP WINNER OF LOUISIANA!!!!!!!
Cruz dropped out already.
Looks like Louisanna has been called for Trump.
If Trump wins Kentucky, then there is a good chance that Trump expanded the Delegate count even though he split the States with Cruz.
Another interesting point. Wherever there is a Caucus vs a ballot vote, then Trump does not seem to win even though the polls AND the exit polls all show Trunp winning. I hope the Trump Campagin unleashes investigators to see if there is any cheating
Go Trump !
“At this juncture - I would recommend that Rubio and Cruz drop out of the race.”
After having been trashed as a nasty, slimy, sleazy, cheating, liar - just why would you think Cruz would drop out? Even if he loses, Cruz will now want maximum concessions at the convention. That’s your problem, not ours.
On Twitter people were saying the same thing!
I'm no Kentucky expert, but looking at the map. I'm think that they go Cruz???
Yes!!
Trump dat!!
Put CNN. I think John King is one of the best reporters.
I will also add that I think Cuomo is actually fair despite his family.
No, he needed more than 70 to increase his lead. He’ll stay ahead of the chains though on Silver’s 538 chart. He was +14% going on. I expect after tonight he’ll be 10% ahead of the pace he has to be at.
KY will be split, but it’s all about delegate count
Wherever there is a Caucus vs a ballot vote...
This doesn’t make sense. Kentucky had a caucus today but we filled out a paper ballot and dropped it in a box.
