Today at 11:00 PM EDT, polls in the last primary held in May - Washington State - will close.
Primaries in both Republican and Democratic contests.
“Can someone, anyone, explain to me why Cruz continues to burn money and alienate voters with his behind-the-scenes shenanigans? To my untrained eye, the only point of this fruitless endeavor is to steal the nomination from Trump. Am I missing something?”
Actually, I don’t think Cruz is behind a lot of what’s going on at some of these state conventions. I think a lot of it is just sour grapes by the state GOP establishments who are pointlessly posturing.
Also, there is no possibility of anyone “stealing” the nomination from Trump as he will enter the national convention with an absolute majority of bound delegates won in the state primaries who will, on the first ballot, be automatically counted at the convention the way they were bound in the primaries, independent of any personal feelings of the delegates themselves or even whether they attend the convention.
K5 NBC is showing Trump picking up at least 41 delegates with 3 unallocated at present.
Go back and listen to Cruz's supposed suspension speech. Indiana ... Cruz's words were all about the GOP convention of 1976... Reagan and Ford.. convention... and Cruz is darn well behind all of this dirty stuff... He has NO clue about Ronald Reagan, but has self deluded himself he is the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan, and intends to make the GOP 2016 convention as much about himself as he possibly can.
He should get ALL delegates, you have to reach 20% to gain any delegates.
“and intends to make the GOP 2016 convention as much about himself as he possibly can.”
If that’s the cas, then Cruz will be sorely disappointed. The convention is going to be nearly 100% about Trump and about Trump beating Hillary. The convention will not be a place where losers get special prime time air time to whine and spew sour grape juice.
Cruz the candidate has gone underground.... but his campaign still goes on. He really believes he is entitled to be the next president of the USA... Cruz intends on making his stand at the convention... and he really does not care if Hillry becomes the next president.
Good day in WA State yesterday for our Mr. T - he took 76% of the Pubbie vote and it looks like all counties:
You can hover over each county with your mouse to get vote totals and %. Interesting that Kasich seems to have received more votes in King County than Ted did.

I was a little surprised in King County (Seattle metro area) going for Hillary instead of The Bern. You can hover over each county with your mouse to get vote totals and %:

Looks like there are still about 111K votes to count, which will be done over the next 2 days or so, based on the county. Unfortunately, the total of all votes for Pubbies in King County is less than what just Bernie got.

I am NOT the one keeping the underground, suspended candidate’s name in the news. The ‘unhinged’ are.
I've kept an old list passed on to me from long time (and now departed Freeper) Sionssar. I use it when I'm here and it may help spread some useful interaction.
I don't often get replies and have no idea who still sees the posts.
Thank you for taking the time to find them, and for sending them to me.
I voted for Cruz in the Washington GOP Primary, even though Cruz is a thinly disguised George W. Bush Republican on the issue of immigration, which has been my number one issue for the last 11 years.
I will vote for Trump in the general election, but without enthusiasm.
I read all your posts, too. Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping, Baynative! I always read your posts, but not much of a responder. Still working, but plan to retire end of September. Hope all is well with you and Doodles!!
Still here
Still reading...even tho I’m in Oregon
