Republican Bayou/Cauci Saturday election results thread (first results @3pm ET?)

Cruz sounds a bit creepy.

"A bit" ? ! ? !

He shouldn't do that weird thing with his voice. Otherwise the speech was good, certainly on content.

It's not the sound of his voice that makes him "creepy" or "weird." IMO.
It's his character, and the fact that everyone in his life (co-workers, college friends, etc) find him "strange" and "unapproachable" in normal interaction.

Well, you're probably a Democrat...

Has nothing to do with being a Democrat or Republican.
Or being fat or skinny, black or white or green, or whatever ...
It's called just being honest.

If you listen to the interviews of past Cruz college friends/acquaintances, who describe Cruz from the past .... you can only come to the conclusion that Cruz is "strange" in conversation or to be around with.
Sweet and simple. Sorry you don't want to see it.

Well, I recognize that reality. But I wouldn't see it as a problem to support such a candidate.

Can someone inform me what's happening? I know Cruz won Kansas, what's happening in the other states? Thanks!

Cruz winning in Maine, Trump winning in Kentucky, but both very early.

Kentucky seems to be for trump by some margin
Maine early reports for Cruz but Trump just won a county so unsure, dont think its many votes yet
Lousiana nothing

Cruz seems very likely to win Maine, according to unofficial results.

[JohnCA246]

Carson dropping out might be helping Cruz out too.

The New York Times, Election Results page is pretty good basic info (numbers).

From what I've heard of Cruz, it sounds an awful lot like someone with Schizoid Personality Disorder. I have it and I'm a lot like him (loner, disembodied convos, poor smiler), though I couldn't imagine a full-blown Schizoid wanting to or being good at holding public office.

Cruz got over 60% in Sedgwick County, KS

David, honey, remember: this is America.

We don't vote based on stupid things like issues, records, or anything of substance.

When a red-blooded, freedom-loving American decides who they will cast their God-given vote for, they will ask themselves questions like, "Can I have a beer with this person? Would I be their roomate?".

Only you namby-pamby Europeans vote on things like, "How will their proposed changes to the budget affect me and society as a whole? Will they start World War III? Are they literally the Zodiac Killer?" etc.

Rubio and Kasich need to GTFO.

Oh wow.
Never heard of it. I'll need to look that up in Wiki (or other source).

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Thanks everyone!
Cruz winning Maine is a shocker! Is he winning the libertarian vote or something?

[jimrtex]

Kasich came in second in Riley County, KS; Trump fourth.

New York City values don't do well in Manhattan!

Interesting. Here is the Wikipedia information ....

Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, secretiveness, emotional coldness, and apathy. Affected individuals may simultaneously demonstrate a rich, elaborate and exclusively internal fantasy world.

Affected individuals may demonstrate significant creativity, particularly in the areas of fiction writing[citation needed] and visual arts.

SPD is not the same as schizophrenia or antisocial personality disorder. Some psychologists argue that the definition of SPD is flawed due to cultural bias.

Good chance Rubio gets 4th in Kentucky?

[OSR stands with Israel]

For a while, I thought that Cruz might be the anti-Trump candidate. I think he has even bigger electability problems than Trump, but whatever floats your boat, Republicans.

They're both unelectable.

and endorse kasich

LOLno.

If cruz and trump are unelectable then who should he endorse

Kasich is unelectable in the primary.

He can force it to a brokered convention and win there

Establishment polticians like Kasich are part of the reason why people vote for Trump and Cruz.

And its the job of sane politicians to stop them . Rubio and Kasich should stay in as long as possible to deny Trump and Cruz  getting over 50% of the delegates and then Rubio or Kasich win the nomination

[Gass3268]

Any idea when we are supposed to start getting official Kentucky results?

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I think Kasich is going to become the nominee at this point.

Well see here's the thing: I like Cruz a lot more than Kasich...

Trump won Aroostook County, ME

Maine's hat, Aroostook County, has 3 caucus sites.  One doesn't close until 7PM.  It must be one or two of the Aroostook caucus sites.

Aroostook was one of Paul's best counties in 2012.

[The Free North]

Ted Cruz speaking like he's already won Maine.
