Texas Sen. Ted Cruz picked up six delegates in Colorado on Saturday, shutting out Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the opening day of the state's complicated delegate selection process, the state GOP said.
Cruz supporters won all the delegate slots in the state's 1st and 6th congressional districts, representing the Denver and Aurora areas. Delegates from the state's five other districts will be selected on Thursday and Friday.

The wheels a falling off the Donald Trump clown car.
They better duck and cover for this fraud. Cruz is going nowhere. Absolutely nowhere.
Borrowing weed are you?
HaHa, Fearless Sarah’s speech is more important than delegates to the national convention.
Not surprised you don’t mind shenanigans,your guy is 100 percent crooked shenanigans.
Slick Teddy. Ted Lose. Ted Romney. Mitt Cruz. Lyin Ted. Pervy Ted. Rafael Cruznadian. Ted Cruz, the GOPe’s bi”ch, a prime example of why so many are and will vote Trump.
Anyone supporting this behavior is guilty by association.
How do these people sleep at night knowing the phuked legitimate, honest practices?
God forbid they just let the people vote in a f**king primary.
You appear to be clueless as to how the nominating process works.
Various parties of somewhat like-minded voters choose a candidate to be put on the ballot under their party’s name. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Whigs, whatever.
Members of each party choose their own candidate. The general electorate does not. It is not the business of Democrats to vote in Republican primaries and thus help choose the Republican nominee. The general electorate votes in November, each voter getting a free choice from among those whom the various parties have put forward.
Parties are not democracies. They make their own rules. If you’re not a member of a party, you really shouldn’t get a say in who that party nominates. Would a Methodist church pick a preacher for the Baptists down the street?
Some states make it easy to become a party member or switch registrations, even up to the day of the primary, but that’s become a polluted process. And some states, strangely, allow members of one party to vote in another party’s primary, or nominating process. That is odd, but if it’s the rule, it’s the rule.
Closed primary states are merely those in which the party allows only party members to choose its nominee, which is a rather logical way to go about the process.
“Open” primaries are a bit like letting Mexican nationals vote in US elections. We all know that shouldn’t happen, right?
So maybe you should re-think the idea that there’s something wrong with letting Republican party voters chose their candidate in “closed” states. Surely you don’t favor letting Democrats cross over and influence the process.
Or do you?
Has anyone noticed Cruz no longer refers to the "DC Cartel?"
Um, no. If Trump wins he needs to terminate every single stupid caucus and closed, corrupt backroom deal that betrays the people's vote, like they did in Colorado.
Having staff skilled at corruption is not a virtue. that Cruz has so many speaks volumes about how his presidency would be just more of the same.
He’s sure good at supporting NAFTA, Obamatrade, TPP, H1B visas, and anything else he can think of to destroy this country.
I hope you’re right, but I think such a reconciliation would require efforts, reflected by changes in their public statements about each other, on both of their parts, and so far, I don’t see either one moving in that direction.
I am so surprised by your tag line that you so willingly accept that voters are shut out of decision making on candidates. I don’t fault your choice of candidate that is your right. But I find it hard to accept that a Christian and and American would ever believe it ok for some Big Brother to decide for voters. Maybe the tag line is a joke.
It is all for naught because Cruz is a foreigner.
Hope you aren’t serious. We all need to get out and vote.
Would you rather we support a candidate that doesn’t see the need to ask forgiveness and then attacks other candidate’s faith and conversion experiences?
The value of this primary election season, perhaps more than anything else, is that it has exposed the cesspool that is party politics, on both sides.
We the people ...
Are being taken for a ride.
Nope.
No delusional beclowed conman will I vote for. Ever. Period.
