WASHINGTON (AP) clip
Ted Cruz's big delegate victory in Colorado increases the chances of a contested Republican convention this summer.

Trump would need to win nearly 60 percent of all the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention. So far, he's winning 46 percent.
Following Cruz's sweep of Colorado's remaining delegates on Saturday, the Associated Press count stands at Trump 743, Cruz 545, and John Kasich 143. Marco Rubio, who suspended his campaign, has 171 delegates.

What are they smoking?
(OK, OK, OK, just funning)
Robbery.
Plain and simple.
I hope Trump responds appropriately, but I also wouldn’t mind Trump just telling the party to take a hike, and striking out as an independent challenger.
To heck with the GOP.
It’s not because anyone likes Cruz.
100-1 that if he won the nomination, the philandering stories will come out in far greater detail.
That said, I don’t expect him to win any nomination.
Update!
you mean threaten to sue and then nothing.. Problem with trump going independent is that is getting late and some states have so loser laws and wouldn’t be able to get on ballot.
Colorado GOP did not have a primary, so the will of the people there is a matter of speculation.
Those are nasty cartoons. Guess I will figure out how to post pics, like those tiny, tiny hands.
I don’t care.
Trump should bail. This is ridiculous, and proves to me the entire GOP system, is massively corrupt.
This is completely, totally inappropriate.
It is 100% wrong.

“Cruz campaign does their homework again.”
Last gasp for Cruz.
It’s over.
That is the cutest little kitten, and you call it nasty?
First this....
Deleted that, then tweeted this...

It sounds like it was a crony politics victory there.
... The Voters should decide the nomination, not a sleazeballs bag of tricks using party hack delegates. Cruz will be the most Hated __ in Republican history.
It is Trump’s fault he didn’t know the rules or have anyone in his campaign who did. Actually I think Cruz will be an extremely appreciated president. Such an even temperament, explains things easily, knows how to talk to all people with respect and will make significant changes, first being enforcement of existing laws.
it has been like this for hundreds of years..Heck, Eisenhower actually trailed Taft in delegates going into 1952 year convention...
I thought you had left. How can we miss you if you don’t Get Lost.
