Trump earned 16 more delegates than Cruz did. How does that “lower the gap”?

He didn’t. The gap is wider than it was yesterday.

But it makes the Cruzers feel good about themselves, even though they don’t have a chance to win this.

First hand insider reports at the Utah Caucus indicate Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot Stuffing ruled the day.

CNN mentioned this in air, showed ballots being printed with a laser printer, and one analyst expressed concerns about 'not knowing if voters were eligible.'

I don’t recall seeing any polls showing Trump ahead of Cruz in Utah. There could be, but it’s been the general consensus for a while that Cruz would win Utah.

Besides the Mormon nonsense, Soros was in charge of the online voting.......What is really sad/sick though is to think the Mormons are such that they just follow along like sheep behind a nutcase like Beck and a charlatan like Romney.......

Well then Trump is going to have to do better than this if he is going to beat Clinton.

Trump’s lead went up buy 18 delegates. There are fewer delegates left so the percentage of delegates Cruz would need got even higher. How is that “closing the gap”?

Unless there are more caucus States that he can cheat in. Notice that’s the only time he wins besides Texas?

Orrin Hatch impresses Utah voters

So do illegal aliens...like the Mexican illegal who was welcomed as a church leader in 2011 to much press fanfare....but who later was busted for identity theft and sexual abuse of two children...and quietly disappeared back to Mexico. The LDS is 100% pro-amnesty and open borders. SO conservative!

Cruz wore thin fast. His habit of speaking in 2-3 sec sound bursts became very annoying and a clear liability.

You are correct. There were no such polls showing Trump winning. I was being sarcastic - poking fun at the ridiculous idea that Trump lost Mormon-heavy Utah only because of fraud.

Trump was never going to win Utah.

ME TOO---I cannot wait for Cruz to drop out so that these people will spare us this display of stupidity.

Cruz and his band of airheads seem to believe that just showing up entitles him to votes.

Right....Cruz prolly has his victory speech ready for the day when Donald takes the oath of office.

The Hopers will keep at it with this dogged irrational optimism until even after it takes over 100% of the remaining contests for Cruz to take the nomination. Even then, there will be scenarios bandied about in wild speculation of how some meeting of the establishment minds at the convention will crown Ted.

Nice wrap.

When Americans find out the establishment.....which they despise......is kissing up to the lunatic Cruz...just watch out.

We’ll be sure to get the word out (smirk).
