    This could be the beginning of a new trend or just a blip. We'll see....

    You are wrong Poe. Read a little, will ya?

    NY Times says Caucuses are filled with traditional Republicans hence Trump lost 4 of 5 caucuses. In primaries, he gets votes from Independents. Hence, unfortunately, Trump will lose Caucuses but win primaries, become the Republican nominee, win elections, make America great again and we will win win win.

    yes, and the media of course will talk percentages rather than votes, and apin this as the last stop for the Trumptrain.

    Of course, without pointing out that the last two guys to win the KS caucus, were Huckabee and Santorum..

    Well, there are also closed primaries, like what we have here in NYS. You have to be a registered republican to vote in the NYS republican primary. I wanted to change my party affiliation from no party to the GOP but it was way too late... the deadline was in early October even though the primary is in April.

    Still today will help build the rhetoric on Fox news and other establishment folks who will say America sees what's happening and they will move on from Trump.

    Rubio getting smoked today

    I have a feeling that they just used Rubio as a sacrificial lamb to bring the worst out of Trump.

    It's over for Rubio...he's going to lose Florida and any ongoing justification for his campaign.

    Or to keep him in long enough to bring it to a convention. If he drops one of Cruz or Trump should hit the requirement of delegates.

    It is funny to see these never trump guys celebrate as if Cruz isn't just as deplorable to them

    The only reason Trump is the front runner is that the other carefully selected options are all completely incompetent.

    I can't believe anyone didn't already know that the First Dyke was a shoe in back in August.

    Cruz has no chance against Hillary, so they don't really mind to see him get crushed in the general.
