Just noting, today’s “voting” wasn’t a measurement of voters preference.
It was the party.
Everyone knows, the party is what people are against now.
Did you observe this first hand? What infornation do you have to back up your statement?
The schedule and where to go? That’s what you got?
They have a problem with Republicans choosing the Republican nominee.
My understanding is Wyoming is a caucus.
Now understand, I am currently travelling so maybe I’m misinterpreting, but do you have information to the contrary please?
9-1-1-1 with 17 unallocated.
What, did the members of some lunatic fringe Church send their members out.
RE: What, did the members of some lunatic fringe Church send their members out.
Terry Jones’s church is in the yuge state that will be having their primaries next Tuesday.
I agree. I am a registered R in WY. The caucus process is very very complicated. I was totally kept in the dark when/how to participate, even though I had gone to R meetings and given my contact for when they had events.
Internet searches didn’t help as I looked for a way to participate. I think this vote reflects the party elites which did not make it easy for us regular folks to participate. I’m very mad.
I bet a primary vote of the people would reflect a different outcome.
Is it true then you have a problem with registered Republicans picking their own candidates?
They were county conventions in Wyoming. And the vote went to Cruz. Cruz also won in Guam today.
Rubio picked up Washington DC today , which make his 3rd victory, those being Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and DC.
Cruz picked up Wyoming and Guan, giving him now eight victories. Those being Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, Maine, Idaho, Wyoming, and Guam
Trump leads with 12 wins. Those being: New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
I get that.
What I am saying is that Cruz seems to be strong in Caucuses. Trump seems to be strong where voters actually go to polls.
Cruz has done well, do not get me wrong. Not as well as Trump however.
Trump seems (much) stronger at winning actual votes. As in counts of votes cast.
That is my main point. There are a couple exception, but primarily it is Caucuses which go to Cruz, Polls with actual votes which go to Trump.
We will find out more, on Tuesday of this week.
Jeff—Cruz also won Kansas. Total is 9
Trump also won Michigan and Kentucky. Total is 14

Lots of great info at link
Actually, I think Trump is at 15 with:
New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, and Alabama.
Yes—it is 15—I forgot Hawaii.
Trump 15
Cruz 9
Rubio 3
I think we are in agreement now!
Ted Cruz is gaining on Trump and is the only candidate who can beat him.
But the focus on Fox News might be yet again that Rubio comes in 2nd, even though Rubio received only around 1/3 of the votes that Cruz received.
GOPe insider and Black Lives Matter supporter Ted Cruz wins rigged election that rank and file party members aren’t privy to.
Make America Great Again!

Rubs won DC, Kasich right on his heels.
