Is your position that Wyoming is ‘rigged’, or rather is it the case that it was a case of clear rules that needed to be addressed by campaign operatives starting back some months ago? I would really love to hear your sentiment on that.

I haven’t followed Wyoming closely, so I don’t even know the process there.

If it’s a caucus, I suspect it’s another case where the GOPe runs the process so tightly, that Trump couldn’t get the time of day if he spent months there exclusively.

I don’t think it would have mattered. The republican “state” party reps are loyal to whoever the gop tells them to be loyal to. At the moment, that happens to be Cruz. It is not HIS ground game that is dominant, it is the gop’s. Does anyone really think that if Cruz were ahead that these same delegates wouldn’t be going to Kasich? If Bush, Rubio, Walker were in the race those delegates would go to them to put them over the top. Now they are merely being used to just STOP a candidate, not elect one.... well at least until the convention, then we’ll find out what they’ve really been up to.

Its not rigged. Many of us are just taken by surprise that these states that usually don’t matter have such arcane procedures for choosing their delegates.

Trump’s people should have known this and prepared better. But, remember that these states rarely matter. They really don’t matter this time, except that the Party will use Trump’s delegate count that is a little short of the 1237 as their cue to drop in the Designated Loser. They usually let the leftist media do the heavy lifting on that, but this time they have to do it themselves.
