Cruz poised to win Saturday caucus in Guam
The Houston Chronicle ^ | March 11, 2016 | Dylan Baddour

Eight thousand miles from Washington D.C., Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is expected to sweep a Saturday vote that likely will not get much media attention: the caucus in Guam, a tiny unincorporated U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean with nine delegates to offer to the GOP convention, where about 2,460 others will gather.

With little fanfare in January, Cruz secured his first gubernatorial endorsement from Guam's Republican executive Eddie Calvo, whom Cruz sent a cake on his birthday. Calvo pledged to encourage his party to send all the island's delegates to Cleveland in July on Cruz's behalf, according to the Pacific Daily News.

"It is Guam's time," said a letter from Cruz to the Guamanian GOP, which was obtained by the Chronicle and will be read on the caucus floor Saturday morning. "Guam has taken on greater significance than ever as the world pivots to the Pacific and as we confront evolving security and economic challenges in Asia, including issues like missile defense and trade. Guam is of great strategic importance to the United States. It is time that we treat it as such."(continued)

They better be careful. If too many people caucus at the same time, the place may tip over.

Cruz wins the most worthless places. I’ll take trumps win in Florida, Michigan, the entire south.

Do all the Guams jump to the right or left to support Cruz?

Presumably Guam went for Cruz, not because he bought them with a birthday cake, but because they feel the need to stay on the right side of the Establishment that feeds them.

WHY does Cruz have to open his mouth before he speaks? Condemning TRUMP for having rioters descend upon his rally was over the top.
