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

Looks like Cruz has been strategizing for a contested convention since Oct. He won’t get Virgin Islands, someone else beat him to it, unless Yob is working for Cruz.

What The Heck Is Going On With The Virgin Islands Republican Party?

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been strategic about efforts in U.S. territories from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Guam.
[ Saul Anuzis told Politico in Oct. ]

Anuzis is another Michigander, the former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, who has been helping Cruz with the island strategy.

And, as Open Secrets pointed out in a blog post last year, in a contested convention Cruz may have to comply with the so-called Rule 40, which requires that he has won the majority of delegates in eight states or territories to be the nominee.

Yob, his wife Erica and Lindsey Eilon were all selected to be unbound delegates to the 2016 Republican Party convention. That gives them power to vote for whoever they like on the floor.

(He recently released a book “Chaos: The Outsider’s Guide to a Contested Republican National Convention,” which according to its Amazon summary promises that “people who read this book will know more than anyone else about the most interesting Republican Presidential nomination in a generation.”)
