CHEYENNE, Wyo. – 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.

Tells you how desperate he is when 3 delegates is Earth-shattering news.
I wonder if anyone has put a video of Cruz Clips on YouTube, with “Oh, Canada!” playing over it.
You asked for it, Carlin at his best.

I would Rather have that 22% behind me than ALL of Queens or Brooklyn or Staten Island, any or all 5 Burroughs.
A Dick Cheney place.
Move over Rush, Levin, Sowell make room for another washed up conservative-Cheney.
So this is not a "Stop Trump" issue per se. It's more a "Hey Guys we are all losing our cushy vote buying jobs and we can't let the voters do that" issue. Trump and I think Cruz too is just the guys they don't want this time. Jeb was supposed to be sweeping Primaries and Caucuses and "Convention Selections" but Cruz and Trump upset their apple cart. So now they have to choose and of course they are going to choose the guy that has already been in the Repub vote buying system.
Too bad Cruz has shown that he is just another politiclown mouthing politiclown platitudes. Is Trump much better ? Maybe a little but my feeling is he will get inside the party and not only upset the apple cart he will clean house by underhanded tricks and maneuvers and dismantle the Republican Party and I feel it can't happen soon enough!
These things sure go a lot smoother when we eliminate that annoying voting. It’s a communist dream.

Ted Kabuki Cruz, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders should be in federal prison with the rest of the gang of 535, current and former.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers..

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents..

For if one supreme legislative body, in which the whole continent of America have not a single voice, have power to make laws which shall be binding upon us in all cases whatsoever, rights, liberties, legislative powers, under such absolute suspending, dispensing, establishing annihilating power as this, are meer shadows, Jack o’lanterns serving only to mislead and engulph us.
There can be no doubt but it is fit, and perfectly consistent with the principle of all laws human and divine, to resist robbers, murderers and subverters of the government of free states, whether these crimes are committed by individuals or nations, or more properly a despotism endeavouring to establish itself over the most free and happy nation on the globe. The only question is, whether it be prudent to risque resistance.

100% turnover is a start.
C’mon November
Yes, 903 committemen are sent to the county elections to vote.
HOWEVER. Those 903 people were ELECTED at the precinct caucuses.
So - who can vote at the precinct caucus? ANY and ALL registered Republican voters.
Your idea that only 903 people were allowed to vote is like saying that when it comes to Nov. 4th, only three voters from Wyoming get to vote. (Wyoming has 3 electoral college votes.)
From the Wyoming GOP Website:
The Chairman is elected to a two year term by the State Central Committee in the spring of odd numbered years. The National Committeeman and National Committeewoman are elected to four year terms at the state convention of presidential election years.
Delegates to the state convention are elected by the county conventions.
Delegates to the county convention are elected by precinct caucuses in their respective counties.
Any person registered to vote Republican as of the call for precinct caucuses in a given precinct may vote in that precinct’s caucus.
Distribute hankies to Trump and his supporters who had the same opportunity as Cruz.
Lazy ignorance is no more a qualification for POTUS than is bellicose rudeness or autoinsult.
So is Cruz, who can’t get anything done in the Republican senate now all of a sudden the favorite of the GOP? Or is he just being used, like the cool kids in school sometimes use the nerd kids, who never even realize it?
Is that what passes for nuanced intellectual argument in Trumpworld????
The Cruzlims seem to take pleasure in their Messiah being a slimy thief
Honey, that all sounds fair. But here’s the reality.
1) Wyoming prefers to limit their participation
2) They changed the rules to narrow the selectors further
3) The selectors were highly likely pre-slated for Jeb
4) Likely 90% will not detract from their assignment
5) They are placeholders for GOPe in Cruz-name-only.
6) They will all vote for whomever is tossed up in Cleveland
Go Cruz
Beat the crybabies and fascists!
Exactly Colorado II.
But, They are not sloppy about it
There will be no #NeverTrump tweeting.
