Trump was perfectly capable of a major win in Wyoming, and I'm disappointed that he didn't try. Or is there anyone who thinks 70 registered republican voters in WY supporting Trump was his best effort? Is there anyone who thinks Trump could not have gotten 1,000 supporters to the caucus locations for the WY caucus, which would have given him far more delegates than Cruz with 600 supporters got?
If Trump loses, the blame falls squarely on Trump's shoulders. I want a Trump victory on the first ballot to avoid party shenanigans. If Trump falls short after not trying, I'm not going to blame Cruz in the unlikely event that Cruz is able to outplay the party leadership in the second round of voting at the party's convention.
Actually, the way the game was rigged in Wyoming, the only person who was going to win is whoever the party leadership decided was going to win. Trump has hired good people and they knew this and chose to not play along. It would have hurt Trump's negotiating position with the GOP leadership if he had put a major effort into it and the party still chose to give it all to Cruz.
All we are seeing right now is a lot of posturing. Unless some type of major unseen development was to take place Trump will be the nominee. There is no way that Cruz will be the nominee. His campaign team has now been completely infiltrated by party insiders. They are not working for Cruz, they are working for the party. That is why they have Cruz looking more and more like a caricature of himself and his numbers are tanking. Cruz's usefulness to the party is scheduled to end today. When he goes down all the blame for the disenfranchising of millions of voters will go down with him. The party elite are all going to be stabbing him in the back.
