Trump prepared to cede Wyoming delegate contest
The Record ^ | April 15, 2016 | Ben Neary, The Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Donald Trump's presidential campaign has all but thrown in the towel in Wyoming ahead of Saturday's Republican convention.

The billionaire businessman's campaign made a conscious decision not to commit resources to Wyoming, according to Alan Cobb, a senior Trump adviser.

Trump picked only up a single delegate in last month's Wyoming county conventions while Cruz scored nine. There are 14 more delegates at stake at this weekend's state convention. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press from the convention site in Casper, Wyoming, Cobb said Friday that he expects Trump's rival Ted Cruz to sweep what remains of the 29 delegates up for grabs in the Wyoming convention....

Lyin’ Ted goes around bragging he won 11 elections in a row which is a bald faced lie. He’s referring to congressional districts and conventions where he lassoed delegates while disenfranchising the voters of the state.

Despite the small numbers at stake, this is a dumb move. He needs every delegate he can get if he wants to reach 1237.

Not so dumb. It's entirely rigged toward the ESTABLISHMENT. In other words those Republicans that have ESTABLISHED themselves as the gatekeepers and apparatus of the party. In an established system like this the ONLY way to beat them in the short term is to join them. That's what Cruz did. The way to beat them in the long term is to make them irrelevant. That's Trumps game.

Is there a way to give you a Denial of Service? It would ease the spam here considerably.

LOL!! Good one!

About CA again. Cruzies underestimating Trump's game in CA. Trump will have a full slate of his delegates 3 per the 53 Cong Districts by May 8th.

see my tagline. I am looking to unite against Hillary.

Hope that Trump does not agree to an hour long interview with kelly, unless trump controls the production.

Kelly could make Trump look bad before this is decided.

For me, the key theme is to build up all former participants ( with the exception of Jeb).

Walker, Carson, Carly, Huckabee, Santorum, Rubio, Kasich, Perry and Cruz all need some kind of role.

The constant dynamic of bash and trash needs to stop.

It could lead the GOPe installing Kasich or someone worse at the head of the ticket.

Look it’s Cruz who bashes Trump 24/7 these days. See me if a miracle happens if he wins the nom. I may hold my nose and vote the untrustworthy Cruz in November only because the other guy stinks more.

Trump has made people feel bad about practically everyone in the field.

If Cruz ends up as VP, you dont have to hold your nose or worry about losing the 30% - 40% conservative camp.

In ANY campaign you choose where to put your resources. You don’t try to win all 50 states. First off, you won’t win all 50. Second it doesn’t make sense to waste money on states you are likely to lose. You have a strategy of which states you can and need to win. You invest there.

Who cares about Wyoming? More crumbs for Cruz. You can’t get to 1237 with just crumbs.

You say 30 to 40%. I suspect only 10% of the Cruz camp won't vote for Trump and Trump can make up for it.

In the latest Fox poll, 11 - 13 April, 58% of the GOP voters believe Trump has the best chance to defeat Hillary, but only 21% believe Cruz can do the same.

You are a paid shill. We know that. You are good at deflecting. That comes direct from the shill’s handbook. I’m just here to provide my own genuine opinions, not because my boss at campaign HQ wants 176 articles posted per day for my quota.

Yes, he bragged to another Freeper that he hoped to raise 7 figures for Cruz this election. By the content and quantity of his posts, I’d say they have him on a commission basis.

Even 10% is too much. Got to bring everyone on board.

For example, Cruz and Walker could help trump campaign in WI and really make Hillary deplete her resources or even lose the state.

Bash and Trash has already hurt Trump in WI.

It has got to stop. Even the support of carson and christie has been kind of tepid and ineffective.

No, I have no idea who you’re referring to. Some kind of scandal, I presume.

So what? There’s nothing inherently wrong with being a bundler. 2ndDivisionVet has always been a prolific contributor to this forum; why should he change his contribution level just because he raises money for the candidate he supports?

Is $10.00 a month too much to ask for all the FREE publicity you are getting here?

It goes the other way too. Cruzies think Trump voters are all going to vote for him. There's going to be many who won't vote for Cruz and not to mention all of the crossovers and independent voters that will be lost.

Ok you are just not seeing it.

Hopefully, we end with stronger ticket than Trump/kasich.

If not, I am sure Cruz would be blamed for Trump’s loss in the fall.

Trump had also trashed Rand Paul as well. Paul needs help this fall in his senate run.

So far he has failed to lie even once.

I believe that your false accusation of lying is a part of the reason the people are going more and more for Ted.

People are usually incensed by false accusations in elections.

Laughable how the constant liar, Trump, “tags” others with his folly.

You also do an excellent imitation of your ‘candidate.’
