Ted Cruz Wins CPAC Straw Poll

But before that, she and Sanders will go head-to-head Sunday in Maine's Democratic caucus where 30 delegates are up for grabs.

A series of election contests this weekend in the 2016 presidential race will divide up 175 delegates among the Republican candidates and 134 delegates between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

Mr Trump is 908 delegates short; 155 are available on Saturday.

The next big test for Trump, who is widely tipped to win the race, will be Tuesday's primary in the industrial state of MI.

On NBC's Meet the Press, Romney said that he doesn't think anyone in the Republican party should say no to being nominated. The Texas senator and Trump were in a tight race in the Kentucky caucuses.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have both enjoyed some merry nights over the course of this long and bruising Republican primary campaign.

The military said on Wednesday 120 PKK fighters were killed in three weeks of fighting there. Turkey's southeast areas have been a major scene of military operations since last December.

"What's happening is a movement, and it wouldn't be happening without me", Trump said.

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

- "I have never heard someone so idealistic who has the experience to back it up".

"Donald Trump - he might have grown up the way he did, with a lot of money and going to boarding school". I'm not going to be a candidate. That also means it was harder to change the nature of the race. Contrast this with 20 percent thresholds in some other states. "We have to bring things together". Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are the last GOP contenders standing- and with Trump pulling ahead, Rubio has aggressively gone after the brash frontrunner, hurling insults and calling him a "con artist".

Republican presidential candidate Sen.

The Texas senator defeated Trump easily in Kansas and ME, and Trump rolled to victory in Louisiana, underscoring that his appeal knows no geographic limitation.

Trump wins Michigan's Republican primary
Trump entered Tuesday's contests facing questions about his durability and ended the night with a pair of convincing victories. Marco Rubio, a favorite of Republican elected officials, Tuesday marked the latest in a series of disappointing nights.

She also said she was thrilled to add to her delegate count and expected to do well in Michigan's primary on Tuesday. Clinton leads her party field with 1,117 to Sanders's 477.

Trailing behind Cruz and Trump were Sen. The latter are placed at a symbolic but significant poll Saturday behind the ultra-conservative Ted Cruz. Donald Trump won at least nine delegates and Marco Rubio got at least five.

According to AP projections, Trump has at least 378 delegates, compared to 295 for Cruz. Marco Rubio withered with a string of third-place finishes.

In the Republican contest, the victor needs 1,237 delegates. She's drawn strong support from black voters, a sizable part of the Louisiana Democratic primary electorate. Bernie Sanders could do well in numerous Midwestern states holding closed caucuses.

On the Republican side, Louisiana has tended to vote for conservative, evangelical candidates.

While Kansas may represent too small a sample to validate Cruz's claims, it is clear that his win will be parsed for signs that it represents the stirrings of a backlash against Trump, after the billionaire became embroiled in a controversy he was slow to repudiate the Ku Klux Klan, and introduced a vulgar note into a Republican debate on Thursday night.
