Trump had 2 Yuge rallies in WA state last month. From what I’ve read, Cruz supporters stacked the caucuses that sent reps to the Pubbie state convention here last week; and that’s why Cruz got so many delegates. I don’t think that necessarily has a bearing on the voters across the state. Plus, as I understand it, the delegates have to support the candidate the voters choose on the initial vote at the national convention (as is the same with many other states). I think Mr. T will do well here, but fingers crossed and prayers up.

That's the way I understand it too - looks like a number in the GOPe are still trying to give the finger to the voters and throw the election by placing Cruz despite what the People want.

Just like those who are talking about trying to free up all the delegates at the convention so they can vote any which way even on the first ballot.

I doubt they will go that far because they have to understand that the backlash will be catastrophic for the GOP/GOPe if they follow through.

Here's hoping Trump cleans up with the Washington voters today - one more nail in the duplicitous GOPe's coffin.

Goes to show how the egos of those who have made a living thwarting their "constituents" have overridden their common sense - a huge compulsion for term limits vs. letting the entrenched continue their treachery to stay entrenched.
