BOOKMARK THIS PAGE —The polls closed at 4 p.m. Saturday for Kentucky’s first ever Republican Presidential Caucus.
Republicans across Kentucky headed to the polls on Saturday for Kentucky's first-ever presidential caucus.
Voters from all 120 Kentucky counties went to polling locations, but instead of having to go stand in a certain part of the room, like some caucuses, they simply cast a ballot.

I’m sure it’s closer than Trump wanted, but it looks like he will end up with a solid win. Very happy to see Cruz staying in the 30s.
Uhmm, y’all, politics is by its very DEFINITION co-ordination. Stop getting mad when politicians You Don’t Support politick. Hate the game.
Some hope here at least for the race to tighten:

There’s clearly some geographic patterns to Cruz’s and Trump’s support in Kentucky. Trump is cleaning up in coal country in the eastern part of the state, while Cruz has gotten his best percentages from the two counties that have reported in the west. A lot more of coal country has reported than the west, so on that basis one would expect Trump’s 11-percentage-point lead to shrink. We are, of course, also waiting on the vote from Lexington and Louisville, which are big population centers.
Good for you, hurl....you like rolling around...and being a proponent of dog cr@p ‘coordination’.
That is....unless it’s your guy/gal.
Jeez....what’s next? Romney your hero is a severe conservative??? Gad.
Get out that transcript, Can-meg!
LOLOL...when you go Full Candy for CRuz....you’ve lost the whole debate. ;-)
Some more interesting stuff:

One minor note of caution about Kentucky, where Trump has a 12 percentage point lead with 26 percent of precincts reporting: the share of precincts isn’t the same thing as the number of votes. That’s especially true in Kentucky, which seems to be reporting every county as a single precinct. The counties reporting so far represent about 18 percent of Kentucky’s population, rather than 26 percent.
Jane.... you’re a long-time favorite of mine but you’re about to snap. Step back and shake it off.
I’ll never understand your pivot to Trump, try as I possibly can.
I'll never understand folks here support for yet another establishment, amnesty PAC paid (Jeb $$, now 😢) hack.
Best to you, hurl. Take care. Count to 10. Breathe 😘
He has a lot of volunteers organized to go door-to-door in the days before the caucus, call on the phone, and circulate at the caucuses. Trump is relying more on the big rallies -- he is less experienced. He's going to have to spend more of his hard-earned money if this keeps up going forward.
Intimidation ;-)
With Trump/Cruz, ANYTHING is possible. I respect Silverback Don but Ted is impressive, too, and together they can bury the Left, for at least another 20 years :-D
