Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has described as "rigged" the way the US state of Colorado picks its presidential nominee.
His rival Ted Cruz swept the board in that state, where delegates are selected by senior party activists.
Mr Trump is still well ahead in the Republican race but if he does not get 1,237 delegates in the state-by-state contests, he could lose out anyway.
A winner could well emerge from a contested convention in July.
In that scenario, many of the delegates can back who they want to after the first ballot, opening the door for Texas Senator Mr Cruz or even the third candidate in the race, John Kasich.

>>> Tell Mitch McConnell that Cruz is an insider.
Cruz isn’t disliked because he is an outsider. He is disliked because he is driven by ambition to the point where he “jumped to the front of the line” against the wishes of his GOPe superiors. He isn’t being a team player. But he’s on the team alright.
I didn’t ask for evidence — must have been another FReeper. I have no reason to think Trump made an effort at all.
Mr. Trump thinks he can make up his own rules. Kinda like Obama’s executive orders.
He should keep highlighting this. What Cruz is doing is exactly what has pissed off the electorate for the last couple of decades. The more I hear about these rules that are changed and modified to push an establishment candidate on the people the angrier I get.
You hope I forget? I asked you for it.
He has the right to complain about them same as anybody else. Seems funny how the folks who think our new rules stink are so hasty to hide behind them when their ox is about to be gored.
I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about — and, apparently, neither do you.
Certainly you don’t have a clue.
You want it both ways, either he is up to speed and the game is fair, or (which the evidence is clear he mucked up Colorado), he is clearly responsible for his own screw-up...and this a campaign cry of “Trump has been wronged” sung to morons.
Believe what your heart tells you, vote for Bernie. Believe what your brain tells you and vote for Cruz. A vote for Trump is a vote for a whiny lyin’ billionaire. Evidence is above for people still in control of their own brains.
