In the Kansas Republican caucus, very early returns have Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in the lead. With 3 percent of the results in, Cruz has 53 percent of the vote, followed by Donald Trump with 21 percent, John Kasich with 15 percent, and Marco Rubio with 10 percent. The Kansas Republican Party released a statement earlier Saturday, saying turnout across the state was "incredible," with some locations reporting "four of five" times the number of voters who came out in 2012. Republicans are also caucusing today in Kentucky and Maine, and holding a primary in Louisiana.
“Yes, they rigged the system decades ago because they knew decades it would screw over Trump in 2016.”
You Cruz-bots can never resist the siren call to be snarky asses.
Four hours for an entire state to vote using paper ballots?
Trump is scheduled to win here in Louisiana in a real election.
And I am sure the few thousand that Cruz won in Kansas will completely eclipse the 100,000s of thousands Trump wins here in your little mind.
I don’t believe Trump will ever build that wall. I think he says whatever he thinks he needs to to win.
“I simply can’t vote for someone who praises the good works of Planned Parenthood.”
That is correct, the “good works”. He condemned the evil works (abortion) and said he would defund if they continued aborting.
It’s his platform. It’s his entire campaign. It’s the ONLY thing the people want.
“The telephone survey of 800 registered likely Republican primary voters was one February 29 to March 2. It was done for Our Principles PAC, formed to defeat Trump.”
May want to factor that in.
Same. I don’t believe for a moment that Trump would get a wall built.
61% in - Cruz 51%. Trump 24%.
I don’t know much about Kansas but in Minnesota a lot of folks who normally do not caucus showed up only to vote against Trump. So he is bringing in Republican voters; some who love him and some who loath him.
The Midwest is going to be interesting this time around.
As much as he has talked about it, I don’t think he would want to completely destroy his credibility beyond repair.
I did notice that number about a second after I posted the link. Hoping that Cruz takes votes from Rubio. I early voted yesterday.
My Uncle lives in Louisiana and he is voting Cruz. My dad voted Rubio in Oklahoma. My cousin was going to vote Bush in Florida, but now???
I simply don’t believe him. Truth of the matter he can’t defund without congress and I just don’t think he will do it.
The Donald has peaked. The wheels are going to come off.
Oh, wait, that's Trump, even last Thursday night and we all know what credit Trump gives to promises.
If you forget, ask the first Mrs. Trump!
70% in now and it is still 51%.
And once he’s sworn in it won’t happen. Oops I have “softened my position” It’s merely a means to an end.
Once he is president he won’t care.
Then we elect Jim Steinle to replace him with in four years.
I get that, but at that point they would be presented with a decision that must be either Trump or Cruz. Do you believe they would choose Trump? I don't. Even Lindsey Graham has said they would take Cruz over Trump.
Things seem very quiet amongst the Trumpsters.
