i want to make clear, here in the fidel of the state, fayette county. lexington, nothing in. ouisville, jefferson county, 17% of the population, absolutely nothing in. if you're going to see better numbers for marco rubio, you're going to see them in the lexington area and in northern kentucky. this number has to improve or we'll have a very disappointing night for marco rubio. where is trump winning? you see the map filling in, predominantly rural counties. that's what we've seen in other

county here. that's lexington. and right now in that caucus there is zero reporting in to us and the associated press. similar here, in jefferson county, this is lowellville, and no numbers to report here. hence the reason why kentucky is at the moment, it is outstanding. let's bring ed and joe back into our discussion right here. let's look ahead, gentlemen, here to what will be a laser focus on the coming events. and one of those on the 8th of march will be michigan. and you know john kasich's making a strong play there. donald trump appears to be leading in the majority of polling we're seeing so far. and then so our viewers now on the 15th of march, that's ten days from tonight, you will see some contests that frankly could decide some of these campaigns. specifically we talk about ohio and 66 delegates. it is winner take all. also down in the state of florida on that night it'll be winner take all in the delegate state there is 99. right now we can call up our running number in a moment here about the delegates

and fayette county, the lexington area, we have zero votes. there we go. we just got a little bit of votes. fayette county came in for ted cruz at 29%. let's see what that did to the statewide results when you pop it up. cruz inches closer, 36% to 32%. so, as those results jumped in, swinging back to look at the numbers again, a healthy margin, but just cut a little over 1,000 votes there. not even 1,000 votes there. so, ted cruz picks up some votes there to make up the difference statewide, he'll need a bigger margin. ted cruz would have to pop up in jefferson county as well. let's watch them come in. we're up to 52%. when louisville comes in, that will jump up quite a bit. most of the other stuff is pretty small. pulaski county, more than half of the state population. when the louisville area comes in, we'll have a much better sense whether trump can hold on to the lead. >> it's the last contest we're awaiting results on. right now 52% of the vote is in, trump is ahead. cruz has won kansas, cruz won maine. earlier, donald trump won louisiana. we're waitin

same thing in the lexington area, fayette county, you have a small city and then the suburbs around itublican vote area. in the rural areas, you see cruz further out. he tends to do well the further out from the suburbs. so, we want to see how this plays out, but the two big vote centers, you see up here, in the cincinnati suburbs up here, cruz is winning. so, what i just said about lexington and louisville, if you look at this up here, those aren't areas where cruz should be doing well, but he's doing better than we expected in the cincinnati suburbs. it's close, but cruz winning with 100% of the vote. you land in covington, kentucky and go up to cincinnati, this is an important part of the state. so, we'll continue to count the votes. it's a trump lead. he certainly wants that, wolf, so he can keep the map like this, but let's count them, be safe. >> that's the best way to do it. thanks, john. let's take another break now as we await donald trump. he's going to be speaking in west palm beach. fact. there's an advil specially made for fast relief that goes to work in minutes. the only
