1. Least surprising thing ever. Kansas gave outright majorities to Huckabee and Santorum.

Cruz was always heavily favored to win there by anyone who knew anything.

[Mz Pip]

2. Ugh.

Trump is a douch but Cruz is a fanatic. I find him worse than Trump.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. No surprise here

[Takket]

4. not a surprise from a state that relected a governor that crippled the entire state's economy

[LonePirate]

5. Kansas Republicans do love their evangelical idiots after re-electing Brownback in 2014.

[DCBob]

6. I guess that's good.

I dont really know which lunatic to root for.

[waddirum]

16. for me it's kind of like a Notre Dame vs. Michigan football game

Hope for a tie game with lots of injuries.

[DCBob]

18. HA!

I get the picture.

[AgerolanAmerican]

7. 8% reporting

Those numbers aren't likely to be reflective of the final result.

Most of the time, the first reporting are the smallest and most rural precincts, which tend to be unrepresentative of the whole.

9. Maybe not. In KS, Cruz is likely to gain.

The KS GOP is highly theocratic, just like Cruz. He's their guy! Trump doesn't stand a chance there. And Rubio? Pffft!

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. When is rubio going to start winning?

[longship]

10. Not in KS. Trump either. See resp. #9 nt

[Albertoo]

11. Cruz is even less serious than Trump

Cruz is the type of person who could decide a nuclear war on Switzerland if he felt god demands it. A GW on steroids. Scarier than Trump.

12. given how the farm-belt has fewer states that have voted D

in the last 25 years than the south, this is not too surprising. Its actually rather indicative of the fact that there is indeed a difference between the god-freaks and the rednecks, tho there is a lot of overlap (tho not uniform, obvi).

[demtenjeep]

13. but the caucus lines for the Dem side got so long they changed to vote and go

Kansas repukes might go for cruz but I think we are feeling the Bern and Hillary is making a show as well.

In all honesty, Kansas will vote R but maybe enough of us will turn our state purple

[davidn3600]

14. Didn't Kansas go big time to Santorum in 2012? If I remember correctly?

Sorry to any Kansas DUers....but your state has a bunch of evangelical crazies.

[demtenjeep]

20. yea

unfortunately we have a bunch of idiots

heck brownstain got re-elected even though I can never find anyone to admit they voted for the asshat

[underpants]

15. Kansas Republicans are a special kind of stupid

Just saying.

[DCBob]

17. Where did you get this?

Anything on the Dem numbers?

[exboyfil]

19. Cruz is now ahead of Rubio on Predictwise

Trump - 71%
Cruz - 12%
Rubio - 10%
Kasich - 4%
Romney and Ryan - 1%

It is in Cruz's best interest for Rubio and Kasich to stay in at least until March 15th. If they don't take their home states then I see them dropping out since Cruz held serve in his own state.

I thought the Donald blew up his campaign by basically admitting that he is the etch-a-sketch candidate. The unreasoning hatred that the Republicans have against Rubio's willingness to deal on immigration seems weird in light of what Trump said.
