Trump Suffers Two Primary Losses Over the Weekend After Increasingly Chaotic Rallies Make Headlines
People Magazine ^ | March 13, 2016 | Maria Mercedes Lara

After canceling a Friday rally in Chicago due to potential violence, Donald Trump lost out on two major primary contests on Saturday, giving a much-needed boost to his competitors Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

On Saturday, Rubio - who is currently in third place in the GOP race - was declared the winner of the Washington D.C. caucus, nabbing the district's 10 delegates all for himself. Meanwhile, Cruz won nine on Wyoming's 11 delegates, with Trump and Rubio each earning one delegate each. The state's 14 other delegates will be elected at the April 16 state convention.

While Trump is still clearly the frontrunner with 460 delegates, Cruz is quickly catching up with a total of 369 delegates. Rubio, meanwhile, follows with 163 while John Kasich has nabbed 63. The Republican candidates need 1,237 total delegates to win the nomination....

Cruz didn't win D.C.'s caucus, and the majority of WY's delegates will likely go to Trump after Cruz's cluster-fark meltdown over the weekend.

So Cruz's 11 delegates will be his last victory. Tuesday is lights out for Trump. Cruz has lost 30% of his Twitter followers and his campaign is in the red.

Someone please tell Maria that caucuses aren’t primaries.

I guess the same article can be written about Cruz and Rubio Tuesday if they get shut out

Article: “Cruz is quickly catching up with a total of 369 delegates”.

*************

Quickly catching up but staying in the 100 behind range so quickly is in one’s
mind. Or maybe it’s a Cruz play on words.

Like I said, you’re as sleazy as your boy Cruz. Your posts make it apparent Cruz is tanking. Desperation is an ugly thing.

“Primary”, indeed.

Cruz supporters like to throw that word around, and then accuse other people of being “low information”.

Elitist to the very end.

Wow, an article that doesn’t call him Hitler or racist in the headlines, that’s a rarity.

Funny! & hard to stop watching. I keep hoping somebody will throw a big butterfly net over Bernie, and take him down gently on a big field of crabgrass.

Who said anything about untrue? Did the Canadian Cruz Line & Cuban Rubic’s Cube come out on top on Saturday? YES! One got the Bush/Cheney vote, no surprise since he was groomed in the Bush/Cheney campaign & administration. The other got the DC lobbyist/welfare voters. NOT hardly news & not at all surprising.
