Donald Trump has brought out the largest crowds in the history of primaries. He has won the most victories, the most delegates, the most votes. He is poised to sweep three of the five largest states in the nation New York, Pennsylvania and California.
If he does, and the nomination is taken from him, the Republican Party will be seen by the American people as a glorified Chinese tong.
Last week, Ted Cruz swept 34 delegates at the Colorado party convention. Attendees were not allowed to vote on whom they wanted as the partys nominee.
This weekend, Cruz shut out Trump in Wyoming the same way.
What does this tell us? Cruz has a better ground game. His operatives work the system better. Ted Cruz is the king of small ball.

Well it's pretty much the most important question that the GOP has if they want to take the presidency.
Here is the Red/Blue electoral vote map from 2012.
The Electoral College Vote was:
Obama: 332
Romney: 206
270 needed to win.
Flipping Colorado would be a good start, and add 9 to Sen. Cruz's total, taking him to 215, but he still would need another 55 EV's to get to 270.
Flipping Florida (29), Ohio (18) and one of Michigan (16), Pennsylvania (20) or Wisconsin (10) would do it.
So would just Florida and New York (29).
Now, perhaps, you are seeing Ted Cruz's problem. He's most attractive in Red States, and not so attractive in Blue States.
It's (at least to me) a lot harder to imagine him finding 64 total electoral votes than it is imagining Trump doing so.
Here’s a hint:
Hillary is NOT Obama.
You made a challenge and it was met and checked.
I see what you mean. Hillary has the balls.
Completely FALSE!
There were 630 Delegates to State Assembly
14 pages of names
Trump had less than a full page of pledged names
Cruz had 4 1/2 pages
Kasich about 5 names
8 1/2 pages of unpledged names.
THAT is why Trump cancelled his visit to the Assembly!
. That's a tiny percentage of GOP voters in Colorado. What about the other 1,850,000 voters who voted in 2012? When do they get to express their preferences?
Oh, that's right, they don't.
I think that sucks.
