No one ever cared about the Virgin Islands Republican Party before today, why should they now? Do you really think this will make a difference?

I thought it mattered only because if one candidate got a majority of the votes, it could count towards the 8 needed according to rule 40.

Trump only needs 1 more. Cruz needs 5 more, Rubio 7 more and Kasich needs 8.

Someone pointed out on an earlier thread that there were enough unbound delegates elected in that if you could get them to agree for a particular candidate, then the Virgin Islands could qualify as one of the 8 states needed.

I think the GOP needs to do away with Caucuses completely. Caucuses seem too susceptible to dirty games and tricks.

Translation: Pay no attention to these slimy Cruz tactics.

If no candidate makes the 1237 delegates by the convention, those uncommitted delegates will be pure gold.

The delegates from VI could be enough to put a candidate over the top on the first vote.

Maybe not likely, but enormously important if 1237 is not reached.
