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

[Gass3268]

Other than the area around Baton Rouge, I am not shocked that Cruz is doing well along the Texas border.

[Why]

And lots more votes in those three counties favouring Trump.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Cruz is behind by about 4500 in Jefferson and St Tammany Parishes combined which both border Orleans. This is almost half the amount he is currently trailing. If Orleans goes the same way then the margin could expand again.

unbiaed, you are missing the point.

trump is MASSIVELY underperforming today. Polls had him up 21 in both kentucky and Louisiana.

A win is still a win

[Maxwell]

It's looking like one of Rubio or Kasich need to drop instead of splitting the vote (maine and LA)

At this point, probably Rubio - he's increasingly looking like a lost cause, while Kasich without Rubio there could win Michigan and then Ohio, big delegate hauls.

[Ljube]

This is terrible what the Establishment hacks are trying to do to the Party. At this point, they should be coalescing around TRUMP, not scheming to derail him.

Not in proportional states .

TRUMP CANNOT GET TO 1237 IF EVERY STATE FROM HERE ON OUT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. THAT SIMPLE

Trump is toxic...

[Asian Nazi]

A win is still a win

And TRUMP is just going to keep on winning!

[Vosem]

It's obvious that Cruz exceeded expectations. I wonder where that gets us.

The only real surprise was his win in Maine.  At most this just damages Rubio.  The math shows that TRUMP is still safe.

270+119+30>354. _trump is losing the primaries.
36+6+3>18. _trump is losing tonight.

Cruz looks like he'll come out with more delegates today

This is close to certain, unless _trump can stop the bleeding in LA. Unfortunately, his body is far too decrepit to stop bleeding.

up to 6500 votes now in these two parishes. Trump is killing it in Jefferson

[win win]

Does anyone thing it's absurd the winner in Louisiana has 100k votes but the winner in Maine has 8k votes and they both have 40 something delegates?

[Gass3268]

NYT called Kentucky for Trump.

Without TRUMP the Party will lose. Big time.

What?
I am talking about results in a few Parishes, you are talking about the big picture. Today is a better day for Cruz than expected, that cannot be denied, winning Maine was a surprise. Whether it is enough to help keep Trump below 1237 I am not sure, but not good signs for Trump.
However the biggest loser out of the day is Rubio, he has nothing. He will lose Florida if the polling is not completely wrong and has no hope of being anything but an annoyance.

CNN - TRUMP WINS KENTUCKY

[Kalimantan]

CNN has to call Kentucky now, Trump is winning small county after small county and pulling ahead

The party is going to lose even worse WITH Trump as the nominee...apparently you haven't been following the polls

You're better than this, dude.

[Gass3268]

AP called Kentucky for Trump too.

[NHI]

Good night for Trump, better than expected night for Cruz.
Horrible night for Rubio.

You're laughing now, wait 8 months and then publicly acknowledge I was right.

[Vosem]

Eh, they've just called first-place for _trump. As is well-known, this is a pyrrhic victory, since he's getting a minority of delegates in every state and putting more stress on his aged body.

[Likely Voter]

Kornacki (sp?) on MSNBC just laid out a definitive explanation. on how it appears Cruz is indeed winning election day voting in LA.  This will feed the media narrative going forward that something has changed in the race following RomneyNoTrump and the debate. Basically his LA win gets an asterix

You are delusional. If TRUMP is not the nominee, you can kiss goodbye the presidency and the Senate.

That's true.
