Ted Cruz on Wyoming win: "This is how elections are won in America."
Once again, voters are not represented in the process. Instead, "votes" for the nominee are gained by backroom politics. Another corrupt process by the GOP establishment.
From Fox News:
Ted Cruz on Saturday won all 14 delegates in the Wyoming GOP convention -- a relatively small number but enough for the Texas senator to declare victory and keep GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump from securing the nomination.
We are likely to have a battle in Cleveland to decide who is the nominee, Cruz told party members before they picked the delegates. If you dont want to see Donald Trump as the nominee, then I ask you to please vote for the men and women on this slate.
The Wyoming process mirrored that of Colorado, which was engulfed by political controversy after hosting a similar convention last week.

Dole, McCain, Romney. Because they know best.
yep the establishment picks and gives a false narrative the voters ever have a say , and yet there are some here who still defend the establishment when 4 months ago they were saying how corrupt the establishment were and cruz was the man to fight them.
How hypocrisy can come so quickly to some.
Denying voters the right to vote is pure third world communism...and RNC-Establishmentarian.
You do understand that since 2004, Colorado does not and has not had a binding poll.
Yet the Trumpers are the crazies. I have been pointing out we have an Oligarchy for over 40 years.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."
Mark Twain -
Actually, it’s how a republic works.
The USA is a Republic, not a Democracy. It’s designed, by the founders, to prevent tyranny of mob rule.
The RNC is a private organization, with its own rules, just like any other political party. It can base its candidate on whatever approach it wants.
Unsurprisingly, the REPUBLICan party chose the Republic method of our founders.
But to the underlying point, nothing stopped Trump from leaving important states like New York and visiting us peons in fly over country to compete, just like Cruz did. He chose not to, apparently because Trump is convinced that we are nothing but dirt.
Trump’s contempt of the little people in the little states has bit him on the ass. New York values at the finest.
Defending the Establishment by denying the voice of the people is pure UNIPARTY COMMUNISM!!!
Absolutely DISGUSTING!
The only people who should be allowed to vote are married men who live with their children and the children’s mother. No single people, no divorcees, no shackups, no widows and widowers. Looting of the treasury would be reduced.
When Democrats have a “good ground game,” it’s called a “machine.”
It’s just as corrupt and disgusting when it’s Republican as when it’s Democrat.
Trump consciously chose not to create a machine. He chose to go to the voters and tell them what he thinks the next President should do, and let the voters vote.
More worried about the Cruz shenanigans reported with his name twice on ballots and some friends of his calling off a regular election because they would probably lose the vote of the people.
Many getting more and more aware of lying Ted Cruz since Iowa with Doctor Carson.
We should not alter the standard set for nominating a candidate. Whoever receives a majority of the delegate vote at the RNConvention should be the nominee. Period.
There is no standard there are 50 states and a few territories and every one is different.
But allowing media liberals to coronate a nominee is great?
