Texas Sen. Ted Cruz picked up six delegates in Colorado on Saturday, shutting out Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the opening day of the state's complicated delegate selection process, the state GOP said.
Cruz supporters won all the delegate slots in the state's 1st and 6th congressional districts, representing the Denver and Aurora areas. Delegates from the state's five other districts will be selected on Thursday and Friday.

Cruz needs to stand down, and throw his support to Donald Trump.
Get together, and stand up against the GOP establishment.
Like you once did.
Or at least, like you once (appeared) to do.
Yeah, who needs voters when everyone can just get in a smoky room and deem Cruz the winner?
It’s a closed Caucus. LOL
Owned by the GOPe, now Ted’s parent organization.
Indeed, the machine (via Cruz as their boy) has determined what is best for us, the peons.
Here, let me fix that for ya:
Trump needs to stand down and throw his support to Ted
Cruz.
Why on earth would either candidate do that at this stage of the game???
Next time you are watching a basketball game, do you expect the other team to go ahead and quit a few minutes into the third quarter?
No, of course not. Stop asking for silly stuff like that.
I think you need to direct ANY disappointment you may be feeling toward the LOW ENERGY Trump campaign. Laziness, lack of planning and failure to pay attention to details are NOT virtues.
Its delegates nonetheless.
I hate to break it to ya, but if the Donald wants to have a SLIGHT chance at winning come November, that machine you all have been moaning about is going to be needed...
You need organization and people in politics.
As much as Trump would like you to believe, this is not a one man race.
Go Cruz. You can do it.
Yeah right, keep thinking that when the GOPe steals the nomination from Cruz. Sucker!
Yes, right, absolutely. He’s winning in Wisconsin, he’s winning in Colorado ... so, yeah, he needs to get out of The Donald’s way.
But if the Donald would like a graceful exit and I think he would, he could step out of the way for Cruz.
I don’t believe at all, it is “silly”.
Cruz is (rapidly) approaching the point where he won’t be elected. Maybe even this week.
If he continues to run, mostly by constantly bashing Trump, he will damage the GOP candidate.
Cruz won’t be the GOP candidate. It is time for him to stand down, and start working WITH Donald to beat Hillary.
EXACTLY.
Their inability to play the long game is going to do them in.
It almost always happens with these nationalist/populist characters.
They forget that this is an election, by people, needing people.
It gets even more imperative once you win the nomination. You need a SOLID ground game in the national, and it NEVER is top down in the GOP.
It has been and always will be ground up. That’s what you’re seeing here, the future GOP campaign doing what its supposed to, organize and get the future nominee elected.
Who needs American voters when you can have illegals do it for you!
Ted, teaching us how to be prey.
CorrupTED
It was all just a big show. Same with Beck.
Stop Trump shut Trump out in Colorado. They are not voting FOR Cruz.
Trump hires low level people who kowtow to him. It’s biting him now.
All he knows how to do is fly to big rallies, listen to cheers for the same exact speech over and over, get in his jet...named Trump. Fly home, get in his bed and tweet.
I guess by your logic, Lincoln should have thrown the towel in?
It took multiple ballots for him to be elected... and he was also facing a tremendous uphill battle against a strong liberal Republican from New York, Seward.
Cruz has a SOLID shot at being the GOP candidate. In actually, Trump’s lack of a long game makes it even more conceivable that HE won’t be the GOP candidate.
Of course, he likely will go cry and run third party, but remember he is the one screwing us over if that happens...
