I simply don’t believe Colorado to be such an outlier that of the 65000 people that voted, not enough of them voted Trump to even be represented by one single delegate at the convention. There is something wrong with that picture.

I can only speak about Washington state, but I’m guessing it is similar. 27 people from my district are going to state. Mostly Cruz supporters, some Kasich, maybe a Rubio, a Bush, etc.. Several undecided or were not allowed to say (being GOP precinct chairs, etc.)’

But probably 90% for Cruz. There will be about 1500 elected delegates at the state convention that will have to vote in 44 delegates to the National Convention.

And lets say 55% of those 1500 delegates are Cruz supporters. It would not be odd that all 44 of the delegates going to national would also be Cruz supporters. Although I imagine that a lot of the well-known folks that are involved in the GOP party will get elected based on name recognition rather than who they prefer or their actual views. Like the local radio talk-show guy at my district (I think he liked Rubio.)

Of course in Washington state we also have a Republican primary, and the delegates from the state convention are bound to the primary winner. If it goes to a second ballot, they can vote for whomever they want to. (Even if they said they were for Cruz they could vote for Trump on the second if they want to.)
