[Jeff Head]

Clinton -141 51.6%

Sanders - 92 33.7%

[goldstategop]

If it holds up, Hillary will win KY.

[Jeff Head]

Results still coming in on CNN. Still scant but now:

Clinton -439 - 49.5%

Sanders -338 - 38.1%

[newfreep]

Tru dat!!!

[Windflier]

“Not gonna happen. Still no path forward for Cruz. Even with Common Core math.”

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

[goldstategop]

Based on the very early numbers, I’m calling KY right now for Hillary Clinton.

[TomGuy]

CNN

very early

Clinton 750 for 50%
Sanders 574 for 38.5%

[Salvation]

I doubt that Hillary will take Kentucky because of her coal mining comments.

[SamAdams76]

Relax. Trump has this.

[goldstategop]

She has a comfortable double-digit lead and these are early numbers from eastern KY.

I already made the call.

[Jeff Head]

Results still coming in on CNN, and still scant but now:

Clinton -878 - 49.2%

Sanders -713 - 39.9%

A bit tighter...but FAR too soon to tell.

[goldstategop]

Still double digit.

This was an expected win for Hillary Clinton.

We’ll see if she can fend off Bernie in OR later tonight.

[TomGuy]

CNN panel sort of admits Clinton wanted to run against Cruz, not Trump.

[Trump fights back. Cruz, possibly like Romney 2012, could have been cowed with the right framework. The Donald, not so much.]

[SatinDoll]

That’s not my point.

[Kudsman]

Woohoo! It’s Tuesday and people are voting. Time for another Trump Tuesday win!!!

[goldstategop]

Cruz was easily caricatured as a right-wing extremist. He would have been beaten easily.

Harder to do with Trump, who just vowed no cuts to Social Security.

Puts him at odds with Ryan but scores well with moderate and independent voters.

[TomGuy]

CNN

Clinton 2,255 for 53%
Sanders 1,628 for 38%

[Jeff Head]

Results still coming in on CNN. Clinton opens up a 15% lead but still with less than 1% counted.

Clinton -2,349 53.0%

Sanders -1,700 38.3%

[goldstategop]

Hillary is putting up big margins in Lexington and Louisville.

That blowout lead tells me she’s won the state.

I made the call for Hillary awhile ago.

[goldstategop]

I expect Wolf Blitzer to call KY for Hillary at the top of the hour when polls in western KY close.

This was a gimme, no real surprise.
