Turnout high for Nebraska Democratic Caucus

Polling in most of Saturday's contests has been sketchy, though on the Republican side, Trump has led most of the surveys that do exist and has undeniable momentum after Super Tuesday.

Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, called Trump a phony and a fraud who was playing American voters for suckers, and 2008 nominee John McCain, a US senator from Arizona, said Trump's foreign policy views were uninformed and risky. John McCain - are fearful a Trump victory would lead to a disastrous November election, with losses up and down the GOP ticket.

Clinton came to Omaha in December, and the former first lady's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton made campaign appearances on her behalf in the days ahead of the caucus. Marco Rubio had another disappointing night, raising serious questions about his viability in the race.

Both candidates and their campaigns were clearly looking beyond Saturday, before the results had been tallied.

The win in ME, along with his victory in Alaska on Super Tuesday, suggests that Cruz can expand his political base beyond his home state of Texas and states that are heavily influenced by evangelical and social conservatives.

Ted Cruz scored a decisive victory in the Kansas Republican presidential caucuses on Saturday, touting his strong conservative record on social issues and opposition to the federal health reform law to secure votes from the state's large conservative Christian community and soundly defeat Donald Trump.

The victory for Sanders on Saturday marks the second time Clinton has lost the Nebraska Democratic caucuses. It was Cruz's fifth win of the nominating race. Cruz had won Alaska, Oklahoma, Iowa and his home state of Texas.

"Personally, I think it's way too close to call", said Vince Powers, chairman of the state Democratic Party. Many voters were undecided heading into Saturday.

Those are the words of 65-year-old Connie Belton, a retired homemaker from Wichita, Kansas.

"About our schools, about our children, about our jobs", she said. Both Florida and OH use a winner-take-all method to allocate delegates, making the stakes in those two states particularly high.

Baier announced during "Special Report" on Thursday that Sanders had agreed to do the town hall without Hillary Clinton, who Baier said, was invited, but "is unable to attend due to a conflict in her campaign schedule".

On the Democratic side, Clinton leads with 1,066 delegates to 432 for Sanders.

Earlier this week, Clinton's campaign released a memo that set the bar low by predicting that she might lose the caucuses in Nebraska and Kansas.

"I like Bernie, but I think Hillary had the best chance of winning", she said.

Clinton had at least 1,117 delegates to Sanders' 477, including superdelegates " members of Congress, governors and party officials who can support the candidate of their choice. It takes 2,383 to win the party's nomination. It would be nice to end the weekend knowing our state's delegates are behind Sanders and Kasich, but I'm not sure that's likely.
