Yep, and Cruz will sweep Wyoming as well. :thumbsup:
Casper, Wyoming (CNN)Ted Cruz is visiting the Wyoming state GOP convention Saturday in hopes of wrapping up a near-sweep of delegates here.
But his top opponent for the 14 delegates up for grabs isn't Donald Trump or John Kasich, it's a group of Wyoming Republicans pushing for a plan to send a slate of unpledged delegates to Cleveland. Their hope is to earn the state more influence on the national stage as the three remaining presidential candidates scramble for delegates.
The expectation, however, is that Cruz will once again demonstrate how his campaign has won over party insiders to make things more difficult for Trump to capture the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination.
"If you don't want to see Donald Trump as the nominee, if you don't want to hand the general (election) to Hillary Clinton, which is what a Trump nomination does, then I ask you to please support the men and women on this slate," Cruz said in remarks at the convention, holding up the piece of paper, which is also placed on all of the tables around the room.
Much like Colorado last weekend and North Dakota the weekend before that, the delegates in play are free agents, up for grabs either through candidate oath forms signed now or intensive lobbying leading up to the convention.
Trump is already crying foul, saying states like Wyoming and Colorado show the system isn't fair. Trump argued on "Fox and Friends" Saturday morning that he's long "understood" the system but didn't want waste time and money trying to "wine and dine" delegates.
"I don't want to waste millions of dollars going out to Wyoming many months before to wine and dine and to essentially pay off all these people because a lot of it's a pay-off," he said. "You understand that, they treat 'em, they take 'em to dinner, they get 'em hotels. I mean the whole thing's a big pay-off, has nothing to do with democracy."

This confuses me.
Wyoming had a caucus on March 12th where Cruz won 63%
Is this in addition to that??????
I hate having to wait for Donald to melt down. He should have these ready to go by the time these are called.
I bet Donnie Bails didn't know...

They did it on purpose to confuse Trump, kind of how we do with Libs in telling them the election is moved out to Nov 6th. :biggrin:
Nah, here's the explanation.
Republican precinct caucuses took place on March 1, 2016. Those precinct caucuses elected delegates to attend county conventions on March 12, where 12 of the state's 29 Republican National Convention delegates and alternates were chosen.[1] Ted Cruz won nine delegates. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump won one delegate each. While Cruz swept most of the state, Rubio performed well in Casper and Laramie and their suburbs. Trump narrowly beat Rubio in two western counties: Teton and Sublette.[2] The rest of the state's national convention delegation will be chosen at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention on April 16.
Those mean people in WY are cheating him out of delegates. :lol:
What is the delegate count now?
Cruz swept all Wyoming delegates for the national convention!!!

Depending on the source will depend on the delegate count. There's like 3 or 4 different delegate counts that are reported.
I stick to paying attention to the Associated Press delegate count. They have Trump 744, Cruz 559, Johnny Mailman 144
I just had to check to see how Drudge was spinning Cruz' win, and he did not fail. :lol:

With Donnie circling the drain, we'll need a nice montage, or wall of shame, or something for all the idiots that actually took him seriously, like Palin, Hannity, etc...
