Voices from voters as 5 states make their pick for president

Connie Belton, 65, a retired homemaker from Wichita, Kansas, had a message for Republicans who are uneasy about the potential nomination of Donald Trump as she voted in Kansas on Saturday.

Crampton, 31, says the race for the party's presidential nominee "was just too important to me to sleep in."

Twenty-year-old Halie Saldana emerged from Lewiston Middle School in Maine wearing a Ted Cruz sticker on her shirt, and said she hopes she also gets a chance to vote for the Texas Republican in the general election.

Saldana is a Lewiston resident and registered Republican who has lived in Maine's second-largest city for most of her life and also works as a banking specialist.

Debbie White blamed Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who arranged for Kentucky's first caucus in decades so he could keep his Senate seat and continue his failed bid for president at the same time.

"Because of Rand Paul I had to stand outside, I never had to do that in my lifetime," she said.

Oldham, 46, said he is horrified by Trump's vulgar talk and vague campaign promises, and believes he's nothing more than "a marketing machine."

Oldham, who works in technology sales, described having to choose between Trump and Hillary Clinton in the general election as "an absolute nightmare."

Tara Evans, a 52-year-old quilt maker from Bellevue, Nebraska, said she plans to caucus for Clinton because of her promises to pursue equal pay for women and to prevent price gouging by pharmaceutical companies.
