Yeah, well we developed it first (sort of — see previous report)

DEVELOPING: – Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz won the Kansas Republican Caucus on Saturday, the Associated Press projects.
Forty delegates are at stake in Kansas.
Cruz won even through Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had endorsements from Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and Sen. Pat Roberts.

Cruz has now won five primaries or caucuses, compared to 10 for Trump, one Rubio and zero for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Five states are holding either a primary or caucus, with rivals trying to slow Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Republican and Democratic front-runners’ march to their respective party’s presidential nomination.
Republicans are caucusing in Kansas, Kentucky and Maine, while Democrats are caucusing in Kansas and Nebraska. Republicans and Democrats also are voting Saturday in the Louisiana primary.

Cruz on Saturday also scored what amounts to a moral victory, winning the backing of conservatives attending the annual CPAC convention.
He is hoping to do well Saturday in the Kentucky and Maine caucuses, and the Louisiana primary. A good showing would help him secure his position as the No. 2 GOP candidate ahead of Rubio. But neither appears to have a path toward winning enough delegates or the nomination.

On Friday, Trump pulled out of CPAC. Trump had been scheduled to speak at the four-day gathering but said he would be campaigning instead in Kansas and Florida. Florida holds its primaries on March 15.
CPAC organizers suggested they cancelled Trump’s appearance because he wouldn’t take questions, a format all invited candidates were asked to follow.
“Guess what, tomorrow is an election,” a Trump spokeswoman said Friday, giving her explanation about why the candidate won’t attend the event.
