Washington State holds its Republican primary on Tuesday, and with one candidate left in the race, there's not too much drama about the outcome. But in a twist — and what would the 2016 race be without a twist? — 40 of Washington's 41 delegates selected Saturday to attend the Republican National Convention in July are Ted Cruz partisans. Cruz supporters outnumbered Donald Trump supporters at the state GOP convention in Pasco, and they were better organized, pushing through the Cruz slate of delegates over occasional protests from Trump backers, who noted repeatedly that Cruz is no longer in the race.
Among the Trump supporters who did not get elected a national delegate is Trump state campaign chairman Don Benton, a Washington State senator. Benton predicted that the Cruz delegates will come around to supporting Trump — in fact, ACCORDING TO STATE PARTY RULES, they have to VOTE FOR TRUMP at the convention, assuming Trump wins the primary on Tuesday. But the Republicans in Washington State are not yet unified, The Seattle Times reports, and several candidates for statewide office are either studiously not saying if they will support Trump, like gubernatorial candidate Bill Bryant, or saying they won't. "Do you think I enjoy this? Not supporting the nominee?" said Chris Vance, a GOP candidate for U.S. Senate. "It's unpleasant."
“No dirty tricks, they were just better organized. He will win the primary today too.”
No, no... Actually it would appear that oily Felito got crushed like a bowl of cheetoes in an insane clown asylum.

Oh noes!!!!
I’m sorry, but it just had to be said.
;-)
Who won Washington state primary?
Ha! We had one say this in the last couple of days:
[So you won’t vote for Cruz when he’s the eventual nominee?]
Maybe on the 359th ballot in 2024.
“What “RINO CRAP”? Are you claiming that trump supporters are RINOS?”
Trump is not involved in this. His team dropped the ball and left the delegate selection process to either liberal, establishment Republicans in the Jeb Bush/Lindsey Gramnesty arena.
Cruz, being a conservative, got involved and beat the Bush/Gramnesty RINOS.
Trump is only of passing relevance to this issue.
Sorry about calling Trump “Arnold.” They are very similar entertainers/populists and so I periodically mix them up.
I hope Cruz is “outed” for his citizenship fraud alone. He is making an enemy of Trump, and Trump is one of the last people on earth I would choose to be enemies with.
Cruz is part of the BUSH FAMILY GOPE GROUP; he did less than NOTHING whatsoever, to "beat" jebbie, nor anyone else, except his futile try at beating Trump!
Teddy is NOT a "conservative" at all; he is a CINO RINO !
Trump is the ONLY person of relevance at this time and for a long time to come. What Cruz has done and is still doing, himself, or his minions, is puerile, underhanded, and yes, STUPID; not to mention useless and unhelpful.
You're so full of merde, it's a wonder you don't choke on it. Your damned passive-aggressive name calling/insult re Trump was posted on purpose. YOU MEANT IT, YOU JERK, SO STOP PRETENDING OTHERWISE ! Trump is nothing at all like Arnold and that isn't even a good slur. You just are witless and not clever at all. LOL
Get over it....Cruz is a fraud and you are a fool for still being one of his drooling sycophants!
I want Cruz and everyone connected with him, to get their just desserts and sooner, rather than later.
Funny, I don’t recall a stop McCain or Stop Romnuts movement.
A M E N !!
True!
Cruz, his entire dysfunctional family, and everyone connected with him are nasty, vile, and just out for themselves. I don't understand why some still refuse to see what and who these people really are.....now.
Not everyone here is bright : )
LOL.....I’m biting my tongue and doing the best I can to NOT write the reply I truly want to, in response to your post. Use your imagination, please. ;^)
You have to be a plant from the DU. You read like a parody.
No one else could be so stupid.
You wanna see someone who is "stupid"? Go look into the nearest mirror!
BINGO!
Cruz is loading the rules committee with his delegates and they will put forward changes intended to give him the nomination. However, the new rules will require a vote, not sure how that will work out.
This is exactly what the time & concentration on the delegates is all about.
Likely being orchestrated by Our Principles PAC for Cruz.
Someone alluded to this plan for Cruz on a state party facebook page. It confirmed my suspicions.
