It's a Ted Cruz sweep in Wyoming.
Cruz won 14 of 14 Republican National Convention delegates up for grabs at the Wyoming state convention here Saturday. The crowd here was clearly in Cruz's corner, as the Texas senator was the only candidate to make the trip to Casper -- ahead of a major snowstorm -- and Sarah Palin, scheduled to speak for Trump, previously canceled.

great post!
Love the picking your nose analogy.ha.
That was probably from the first part of WY’s system where they chose people about a month ago when Rubio was in.
Don’t think Mike Lee would ever go as “Lyin Don Capone’s” V.P, remember he’s behind Cruz!
Wow, no Dan Cornhole comment. I am impressed. Get off your sister long enough to actually type something out? Wow. Impressive.
Check the Cruz positions on his campaign website or an independent website. Do the same for Trump. How big are the differences?

They agree. Look at how Cruz actually voted in the US Senate. Look at the positions he defended in front of the Supreme Court and the actual arguments he wrote. Yes, Cruz is running against Trump (and I plan to vote for Trump), but the constant, nasty personal attacks between Trump supporters and Cruz supporters are making Hillary and the rest of the far left cheer.
The slurs against Cruz and against Trump are not accurate, and the Trump/Cruz campaigns both know it. We should check the facts and tell them both to get back to issues and to slamming the real enemy - Hillary. Cruz didn’t stab any of us in the back, and a little calm reflection will verify that.
Okay, that makes sense I guess.
Go Cruz!
Do you understand that the people you are attacking and offending, people who believe based on strong evidence that Cruz is a genuine conservative, will be the deciding factor in November? Cruz has about 75% as many voters as Trump, which is a lot of voters. Except for Hillary's trolls, who are being paid by the post to offend Cruz voters (and I say the same to those who are attacking Trump), the personal attacks make no sense.
All States, territories, and DC should have closed primaries. In each jurisdiction, only the People who have been members of the party for a specified number of months would be permitted to vote in the primary. No caucuses, no State conventions. Caucuses are used to intimidate voters to change their votes; State conventions reject the People having a direct say in the nomination process.
Oh, stop lying already! Did you even read the article?
The Cruz campaign's grassroots organization was front and center here, with printed slates of the 14 recommended Cruz delegates on each table, a hospitality room, a table full of literature staffed by local volunteers and yellow "TED CRUZ Cruzin Cowboys" balloons placed around the convention room. Attendees here said the campaign has been in touch with them early and often via phone, and they have noticed a big social media push.
By comparison, the Trump campaign distributed a printed slate with six recommended delegates. The Trump campaign had a table with some snacks and literature, staffed by two out-of-town Trump volunteers.
"You come in a week before the convention and it won't be as effective," said Tim Stubson, one of several congressional candidates walking the halls at the Parkway Plaza Hotel and Convention Centre.

*****************************
many of the trolls have taken it upon themselves. See Georgia, see Colorado, see WY, etc. They claim to be conservative and they are snakes. We have them here as well. They are the cheap labor express who want to push America aside. That little thing called the constitution stands in their way.
And what percentage of the population was able to 'select' their 'delegate'?
You're being ridiculous. I said, "all registered Republicans".
In the end, we all know with the evidence that...
Stop with the Consensus Fallacy argument nonsense.
...the delegates are predetermined to 'select' the chosen candidate of the party and not the people.
For the third time now, all Republicans in Wyoming can run as and vote for the delegates.
The people were not properly polled to determine the will of the people.
You're being obtuse.
Cruzbots care naught of the will of the people
No you Trumpbot care nothing about the will of the registered Republican people in Wyoming.
Good posts
It is really tiresome to hear Trump supporters use Dem talking point words like 'disenfranchisement'.
Damn, you took me up on the clam bake. Sorry. ;)
Cruz supporters toss another state overboard. Iowa, Wisconsin, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming... Did I miss any others.
There will only be 538 people voting for President.
The GOPe has a great ground game.
Now everyone, lets talk about how popular Ted is, even though he can’t win primaries.
So why didn't Trump supporters get involved? Laziness? Lack of leadership? Incompetence? What was it?
Cruz showed up. Cruz's supporters showed up. Where were Trump's people?
You said it Iowa David.
It’s another great day for the GOPe.
At least you’re honest about supporting our enemies.
