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.

Scruz is an evil consort of the oligarchy.
Exactly!
Perot lost.....so will Trump...and he’ll walk away very happy that he did loose. But of course he’ll moan and groan it was all about the system being rigged, which is simply his well worn out Motto when he loses....but it’s sufficient for his followers and better then the obvious he’s quitting and never wanted the office in the first place.
There’s very good reasons why the man has no ground game ....isn’t showing up in states conventions, arranged meetings with the RNC for himself only, followed by FBI meeting with him. He’s arranging an exit so he can save face.
The way to defeat this is to get involved and replace the insiders. This is exactly what Ted Cruz has done. These Cruz delegates aren't GOPe. They are the ones getting involved and changing the party for the better.
Ad the Wyoming convention, Cruz's biggest challenge didn't come from Trump. It didn't come from Kasich either. It came from 'uncommitted'. There was a sizable contingency of delegates united in seating 'uncommitted' delegates at the Convention. That's your GOPe. Those are the delegates that are going to try to change the rules and get someone like Ryan in there.
And which candidate showed up to oppose these GOPe delegates? Ted Cruz. Cruz has changed the party in Wyoming. He has changed the party in Colorado. And he has done it by starting at the grass roots level and getting people involved - making phone calls, sacrificing their time, showing up, and networking. And you condemn him for that?
The only candidate in this race working to unseat the GOPe is Ted Cruz.
Cruz has no chance and I personally assure you that I would stay home!! But I won’t have to because Cruz will never never win . The establishment woul sacrifice him like a virgin on an Aztec pyramid. — HEART FIRST!!
Are you going to chant something snazzy like “NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE”? Or are you just going to vandalize like your OWS buddies.
We need to unite in opposition to Hillary. If you hesitate to support the candidate who wins 1,237 delegates, then you are part of the problem.
....”The only candidate in this race working to unseat the GOPe is Ted Cruz”...
That’s exactly right.......and he’ll bring down the GOPE house of cards if people would just open their eyes and see what’s happening......unfortunately all most here are doing is waiting breathlessly for their next Trump feeding or whining about the process....because of that they are missing the plays and the game itself. Like cheerleaders on a field who don’t know what’s actually going on until they’re called on to cheer.
and him declaring how he has won when he has been humiliated in the votes is the ultimate insult to people’s intelligence.. haha
TRUMP VOTES MATTER!! Let my people speak!!! This is RIGGED!!!
Who exactly do you think these Wyoming 700 people are? The people who decided this election are not the establishment?
The Cruz Trump people evidently think the GOPe NE now loves him...He has played up to them for their support and they’ll give it to him.....Till it’s time to take it away…
You'd think Republicans would be concerned when a bunch of hard red states seem to hate them and their guy seems to hate those hard red states back. They NEED those states, they need some of the purple states, they don't need the hard blue ones at all. What are you trying to do, make your wedding invitee the smartest woman in the world?
.....”If you hesitate to support the candidate who wins 1,237 delegates”......
Well nobody has reached that....and there’s more to this then an election ... but Trump won’t be the nominee...and he will not be reaching the 1237 before convention on purpose.
well so is declaring business bankruptcy, but in polite society folks just don't do it
When you and others can stop whining and pay attention to the game itself instead of “feeling” and playing the “victim” then you might understand what’s happening in this election.....currently you’re missing the entire game.
Please reread my posts. I didn’t mention the name “Cruz” as far as I recall, much less “blaming” him. My objection is to the rules they set up in Wyoming. Simply stated, they fly in the face of even the GOP national rules for how the party, including state parties, are to be run. They state:
PREAMBLE:
...”It is the intent and purpose of these rules to encourage and allow the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican Party activities at all levels and to assure that the Republican Party is open and accessible to all Americans.”
Can you understand that less than 1% participation is not “allowing the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican party activities”? If not, there’s nothing else to say, really.
The Cruz Cult is happy ...and yes, it’s a weird little Cult
Good try, but commentary bordering on delusion, or just wishful thinking.
Some facts> Trumps won the base, not even debatable, also Trump trounced Cruz in FL and OH by over 1,000,000 votes, Cruz nor any other GOPe gonna get those votes., Can’t win the election without Fl and OH.
Prepare to be disappointed when Lying Ted, Little Marco, Kasich and all the rest get on board the Trump Train, cause he now owns, what was the R base, its now the Trump base and the the GoPe aren’t suicidal.
Old enough to know that Cruz is sh*t on a stick. You know it as well.
