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.

Yeah, but have they met Paul Manafort, yet?
Words to Live By: Trump controls everything!!
Music to my ears!!
No wonder the Cruz people I know have been extremely quiet! Cruz is one person I would never, ever vote for. He and Hillary would be a perfect ticket, both evil and always plotting!
Appointment with Mr Manafort booked for 3:10PM the day before the Convention:

WA GOP sold out long ago. They are the party of the chamber of commerce. Even to the point of endorsing tax increases if Boeing and Microsoft want them.
That’s exactly it.
A good friend of mine is a delegate - he told me that he was TOLD by party insiders that he MUST vote for Cruz.
I haven’t spoke to him since late last week, so am not sure if he was the one person who voted for Trump, but maybe so.
Got it.
(Sniffle) I do hope Cruz delegates are used to pain (sob).
Washington state Republicans would rather vote for an also-ran than one who will likely win.
That says more about the Republicans in Washington state than about the candidates.
‘We prefer to throw our votes away on a loser.’
Next, they will be buying tickets for last week’s lottery.
Trump for President.
What are you implying? Are you threatening someone, on a public forum?
Washington State Primary is a freaking joke. It’s design to promote establishment types. They need to scrap the whole process and just let the people vote for who they want.
It's a strategic mistake on the part of the Trump campaign to let up and let something like this happen.
I hope I'm wrong but there's trouble afoot at the convention, and the trouble makers will have the initiative in it.
Have you never seen the movie, “3:10 to Yuma”??????
I think anyone who’s afraid that Trump will not be nominee at this point is an idiot. And I’m happy as can be if the delegates selected are loyal conservatives. Don’t forget, Kasich is still running.
How close will tomorrow’s primary push Trump’s first ballot count to 1238?
Add 1 for good luck. 8<)
Washington state? Who is surprised?
Trump will come to the convention with 1450 delegates almost 1000 more than Cruz and Crush him.
They will NEVER give up til they get their “man” in place, and Trump is not their “man”.
