Ted Cruz sweeps Wyoming Republican Convention

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.

Wow, the wailing and knashing of teeth from the embittered Trumpsters is loud. Expect the Chief Whiner himself (I.e., Trump) to soon be shouting out lamentations.

Wahaaaaaaaaaa!

Delegate count:

Trump-——————744
Cruz———————545

It’s just not enough to make a difference. What did Alan Simpson say? Would think Simpson would be for Kasich

[Theodore R.]

Why can’t Ted win DE since his mother is from there? Oh, I know, it’s Democrat to the core but did vote for Dewey in 1948.

[corbe]

This is not gonna go well with the ‘lets just fly by the seat of our pants and do it on the CHEAP’ crowd, Look at all those Train Wreck/FaceBook people that show up at THE Rally’s.

And how many citizens of Wyoming got to vote for Ted Cruz in this landslide?

Right, none. Shame!!

Wyoming is another closed, rigged contest decided by the state’s GOP Elite, who had already pre-decided that Cruz would win. In other words, another Colorado fiasco, another subversion of the democratic process.

This seems the only way Cruz can win a state. Why are you bragging proudly about this? You consider yourself a conservative??

[JBW1949]

Face it...The only way Cruz gets the nomination is if it is GIVEN to him....

[jospehm20]

If Cruz acts like he did after Colorado, it will be all week long.

[Mechanicos]

More NeverTrump Shenanigans.

“Let’s all sing “OH CANADA”, shall we?”]

I am going to laugh when Trump wins the nomination and picks Cruz as his running mate. And trust me, it is going to happen. There is no one Trump can select as a running mate with the exception of Mike Lee that will solidify Trump’s conservative bone fides.

[JBW1949]

It seems that Trump wins most all the states where the people have a voice...

Cruz wins those where the delegates are appointed by the party leaders....

[mkjessup]

Don’t count on that. Trump would pick Mike Lee before he would pick Lyin’ Ted.

[Mechanicos]

LET THEM EAT CAKE!

And you wonder why Cruz is Tanking and running out of money...

[DesertRhino]

Home of Dick Cheney the moron. 3 electoral votes. The whole state has about 22% of the population of Queens NY.

Go ahead and strut and preen. lol

[Rastus]

Now if the party can just hand it to him in November. . . .

[joshua c]

Another 100% sweep for Cruz, just like all those polls that show Cruz at 100%. He can’t lose.

[mkjessup]

It seems that Trump wins most all the states where the people have a voice...

Cruz wins those where the delegates are appointed by the party leaders...

Exactly.

[rhinohunter]

FWIW::

With this win, the Cruz campaign now satisfies Rule 40. He has delegate majorities in 8 states: TX, KS, ME, ID, UT, WI, CO, and WY.

[Salvation]

Nothing new here — just “as usual” cheating Ted.

What about the people who voted for Trump and Kasich?

[Spunky]

Waaaaaaa! Waaaaaaa! The GOP cheat and still the delegates. Waaaaaa! Waaaaa! It doesn't matter that this is the way it has always been done, they should do it differently for me. Waaaaa! Waaaaa!
