Cruz off to strong start in weekend races

Saturday was affectionately being called "Super Saturday". Bernie Sanders wins the Kansas primary. Trump is the projected victor in Louisiana, with around 48 percent of the vote.

Trump has won 10 state contests, while Cruz has claimed six including Kansas and Maine. "If it's not, then the other candidates are increasing the likelihood that Donald Trump becomes the nominee". Sanders picked up at least 45. Up for grabs were a total of 109 delegates. According to the AP, Clinton will walk away with 55 pledged delegates, while Sanders nets 47.

However, Mason said Clinton may already be looking beyond Sanders and "pivoting toward the general election" and a possible head-to-head with Trump.

The state GOP said more than 81,000 people sought to cast ballots at 103 sites, though more than 8,000 remained uncounted Saturday night. Rubio is running a distant third in Kentucky and finished a distant third in Kansas. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich for victory in the Republican primary contest.

There are 155 delegates at stake in Saturday's Republican races. In Louisiana, there are 47 delegates and Trump is up 19 points.

But the party's establishment is unlikely to be much happier with Cruz, who has alienated many party leaders in Washington, than they have been with Trump. Rubio has 116 delegates and Kasich has 28. It was Cruz' fifth win of the nominating race. In 2008, Barack Obama scored a lopsided victory over Clinton in Kansas. Cruz also campaigned there his week. Three of the four states were holding caucuses, a kind of nominating contest that rewards the superior organization for which Cruz's campaign is known. Mainstream Republicans have blanched at Trump's calls to build a wall on the border with Mexico, round up and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the United States.

All three companies are accused of professional negligence for not insisting on corrosion control treatment for the city's water. Federal environmental protection officials are considering trying to strengthen the rule sometime later this year or in 2017.

Cruz has an early large lead, and given his campaign's emphasis on organizing in caucus states I wouldn't be surprised to see him win big there.

The party made the announcement Saturday night.

Results from Saturday's caucus will be announced by the party in Lewiston.

"Pivotal day in this campaign", said Jason Miller, a senior aide to Cruz's campaign.

Hillary Clinton and Sen.

There was anecdotal evidence of high turnout around the state but early on, it's unclear if numbers are really up or if that's the function of having fewer polling locations and fewer hours to vote.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who bowed out of the Republican race last month, pushed for the change to a caucus that also allowed him to pursue re-election to his Senate seat, a decision that Saturday won decidedly mixed reviews. He said the Democratic race "was just too important to me to sleep in".

"I think every candidate has to assess his path to 1,237 delegates", Cruz told reporters in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. And he was in the mood to celebrate.

The crucial contests coming up will be MI on Tuesday, and Florida and OH the following Tuesday, said Rob Gray, a Republican strategist. He even got ahead of himself, telling the crowd "God bless Kansas and God bless Maine" - even though there is no victor yet in Maine. She thought of it as a vote against Republican businessman Donald Trump. In a press conference in West Palm Beach, Fla., after the votes were tallied, Trump said he was primed for a head-on fight.

Mr Cruz, who enjoys support among evangelicals and the ultraconservative tea party movement, attributed his strong showing to conservatives coalescing behind his candidacy, calling it a "manifestation of a real shift in momentum".

"It looks like Trump will continue his sweep", Mason added.
