He was right? Trump finished 3rd in the lobbyist and special interest primary in DC. Cruz finished 4th. Both got 0 delegates (as they should have, because neither are establishment candidates). Little Marco got yet another useless state Participation Trophy.

Trump also got 1 of the 12 delegates that was apportioned in WY over the weekend. Cruz got 10.

Cruz got 1 delegate from Guam that was pledged. The remainder are unpledged.

The USVI ended up with a slate of 9 uncommitted.

This has nothing to do with voting for Trump or Cruz. It’s just an honest assessment of the race. The narrative that you sent me the link from doesn’t hold water at this point in time.

Bottom line? Trump got exactly ONE delegate out of Wyoming, DC and Guam combined.
Ted Cruz won Wyoming by the biggest margin of any GOP primary this year.
Wyoming has a total of 26 delegates, out of which only 11-have been allocated, with Cruz getting 9 of them. Expect Cruz(with over 66% of the vote) to gobble up almost all the remaining 15 delegates at the state convention in Casper in mid-April.
Similar thing in Guam. Expect Cruz to sweep up the rest of the delegates as well. Pencil in an expected altogether 20 extra delegates for Cruz.
A in all it wasn't a very good day for Trump though.
