Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is projected to win the Idaho primary.
NBC News called the race for Cruz just before midnight Eastern — less than an hour after polls closed in the state. Fox News called it moments later.
The state’s result was in great doubt leading into Tuesday's primary because of a lack of polling in the state. Most pundits had shied away from making a prediction.
The Texas senator was endorsed by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), an influential member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Idaho awards 32 delegates on a proportional basis.

You a Declarationist?
People who are convinced they're either among the elect or not and can't do a thing about it are also sure there's no need to ask forgiveness since doing so makes no difference. Perhaps before claiming "Anyone who is Christian should . . ." anything you should study what all passes as Christian in this country and realize that a great many people who aren't Presbyterian are Calvinists just like Trump. Even a great many Dominionists just like Ted's Dad who has no problem at all palling around with Mormons any more than his son has a problem hanging with Mormons Beck and Romney.
Funny how when Romney was at the head of the ticket the, "Anyone who is Christian . . ." crowd said people should stay home rather than vote for him but have no problem with Cruz being big pals with Beck and taking all the help he can get from Romney.
How typically Pharisee, telling the masses what's good for them while doing something else themselves.
Where these issues being seriously discussed from anything but the Uniparty side prior to Trump?
We need that kind of "smoke."
They're fellow freepers, much as we like to fight. :)
Yes he did.
Looks like a very decent 16+% win.
I voted at 8:05 AM and was number 7 to vote in our precinct this morning on my way to work.
Glad to see such a healthy win for him.
I believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
I love Corn and potatoes and I hat Trump!!!
Congrats Cruzers ...Ted did well in ID!!!
Every delegate matters. If Rubio and Kaisch were to drop out and release their delegates to Cruz, it could deny Trump the nomination.
If that happened tomorrow it would be Cruz: 552/Trump: 446.
In the south yes, in N. Idaho I think it had more to do with the Ted Cruz pastor gets shot story all this week.
The establishment despises Cruz. The only reason they would back him is because their precious Bush and Rubio have taken a dump. But don't try telling that to the folks who have already made up their minds.
Thanks for your post.
Guess my tater lovin wife is getting less of em. Oh well... Elections have consequences. Expect a tanking in spud prices.
The Declaration reveals the traitors, since they can parse the Constitution, but cannot deny the Declaration.
