Missouri's secretary of state Jason Kander officially declared Tuesday that Donald Trump won a narrow victory over Ted Cruz and will win the state's 12 at-large delegates.
The final tally found Trump edging out Cruz 40.8%-40.6%, or by fewer than 2,000 votes in the March 15 primary.
The additional 12 delegates give Trump an important boost after he was swept by Cruz in Colorado over the weekend at the Colorado Republican convention.
The additional delegates bring Trump slightly closer to the 1,237 needed to secure the nomination. By CNN's estimates, Trump now has 758 delegates, Cruz has 538, Marco Rubio has 173 and John Kasich has 145.
The secretary of state also declared Hillary Clinton the winner there in her close race with Bernie Sanders -- she beat him 49.6%-49.4%, or by about 1,500 votes of the 630,000 cast in the Democratic primary.

When you listen to the people's vote, it all turns out ok. Cruz while playing by the CO/GOP rule book, didn't listen to the people of that state and sometimes that will come back to bite him.

As they say in New York City, this is not fair!
Trump needs to renounce the Missouri decision and share the delegates with Cruz in a fair manner, as they say in New York City.

Not going to be a second round.

A cruzbano can’t tell the difference between people voting and delgates being selected by insiders

12 delegates because of .2% of the vote? The process is rigged and It’s. . . Just. . . Not. . . Fair!!! Oh wait. Trump won? Never mind. Everything’s great now.

That's OK Cruz got all the MO delegates for the second roundYou really don't get it. There's something fundamentally dishonest about getting on a Trump slate for the sole purpose of throwing the nomination if Trump doesn't have a first-round majority.

In MO voters voted and the votes were counted. The rules were written in a way that was supposed to favor insiders. Colorado’s a whole new level of power grabbing.

Now that Trump has finally wised up and hired party insiders and GOPe staff - he has a chance at winning the delegate count. He has officially become a party insider.

I believe the 12 delegates are the bonus for winning the state. And unlike Cruz delegates, these were elected with real live votes.

He can take way more delegates than his percent of the popular vote in that state. It's all good. Any means to achieve the WIN. ( unless you are another candidate, and then that is the most horrible, low-life, disqualifying and disgusting thing to do ever. . . )

Right, just like in Florida, where Trump won 45% of the vote but 100% of the delegates.
