Cruz sweeps Wyoming Republican Convention
Fox news 61 ^ | april 15, 2016

Posted on 04/16/2016 5:00:37 PM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – It’s a Ted Cruz sweep in Wyoming.

Cruz won 14 of 14 Republican National Convention delegates up for grabs at the Wyoming state convention here Saturday.

The crowd here was clearly in Cruz’s corner, as the Texas senator was the only candidate to make the trip to Casper — ahead of a major snowstorm — and Sarah Palin, scheduled to speak for Trump, previously canceled.

@mitchellvii I live in WY. Our county caucus was changed from 3/1 to 2/27 -> only county officials knew. Rigged here from the start.— Unfiltered Steve (@stevelasereyes) April 16,

Wyoming is a great state (probably my favorite) and great people. And this year their few votes might even make a difference in the national election.

“The national media present even received an appreciative ovation at the beginning of the day from delegates.”

The Cruzlims can call it “having a good ground game” all they want, but Trump is winning this argument, and will continue to win it. The more Cruz wins these voterless elections, the farther he tanks. Americans are repulsed by “voterless elections.”

Read the rule at the bottom. Possibly all of your committeeman would not need to disclose or pledge their candidate until the convention.

For those of you that claimed hundreds or thousands voted at the caucuses.
No, that is false. Here are the county SOS reported (s)election returns.

Rush needs to put himself out to pasture.

He’s outdated, boring, and his voice his weak.

He’s not been entertaining since the HillBilly WH.

It’s Ted Cruz burning down the USA in his greedy goal to be president.

DOOFUS, in each county are MANY precincts. Each of those precincts held meetings sometime between 16 February and March 1st. Those precinct meetings were open to ALL registered Republicans resident in the precinct where they could vote/participate. The precincts elected representatives to the county conventions. The counts you gave were of the representatives at the county meetings ATTENDED by the representatives elected at the various precinct meetings.

Wyoming is a great state with some wonderful people. How can you say that 99.87% of them have no interest in voting for a president. That’s around 269,000 registered republicans. They all just don’t care?

Well they didn't seem to care… to vote for Trump. They could have flooded the precinct caucuses then the subsequent level conventions. They had the same chances as the Cruz, Rubio, etc. forces at the time of the precinct voting. But they didn't care enough. We know they weren't banned because Trump managed to win one delegate in the first round. Maybe he's now so disgusted he'll burn his 'delegate card' and let some party alternate take his place.

That all sounds fair. But here’s the reality, the slate of delegates from these types of states are mainly quadrennial delegates. Newcomers do not displace long term delegates.

1) Wyoming prefers to limit their participation

2) They changed rules to narrow the selectors by 55%

3) The delegates were likely pre-slated for Jeb!

4) They will not detract from their duty to support GOPe.

5) They are placeholders for GOPe in Cruz-name-only.

6) They will vote for whomever the GOPe likes in Cleveland

I’m suprised it took you Trumpees so long to start bashing Rush Limbaugh. Usually you Trumpees are pretty quick to condemn real conservatives. Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Levin, Malkin....all traitors to you Trumpees. Yet a life long Democrat and Hillary ass licker like Trump is the savior of the Republic.
