WASHINGTON (AP) — clip

Ted Cruz's big delegate victory in Colorado increases the chances of a contested Republican convention this summer.

Trump would need to win nearly 60 percent of all the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention. So far, he's winning 46 percent.

Following Cruz's sweep of Colorado's remaining delegates on Saturday, the Associated Press count stands at Trump 743, Cruz 545, and John Kasich 143. Marco Rubio, who suspended his campaign, has 171 delegates.

Potentially 14 more for Cruz next week out of WY before he has to shift to holding down Trump’s margins out east and collecting as many vote free PA delegates as he can organize.

I heard he would have to run on an existing party ballot, like independent or whatever, don’t know all their names.

I know!!!

It’s so unfair that Ted Cruz assembled a good team and did his homework.

Isn’t there a law against that?

Well, there should be. I demand satisfaction.

I know. Trump should sue. He just has to figure out who to sue. That may be hard for him.

... It is 100% wrong.

Rules are rules. Why didn’t Trump or anyone in his campaign know them? Not a good sign for him “hiring the best people”.

It’s the brain that counts for a president, not the hands.

Trump’s brain seems to work just fine.

There’s a lot of unanswered questions for Ted. Make note of that.

“Rules are rules” until they turn in YOUR face and then they’re unfair.

Especially with all those women coming out of the woodwork to say they were his mistresses and the press conferences with Gloria Allred.

You know, the Cruz bots don’t care if Cruz doesn’t win,,they just want to make sure Trump doesn’t win...

so in essence Cruzers will take Hillary over Trump.

That said, I don’t expect him to win any nomination.


Cruz isn’t getting the nom and he knows it. He’s just trying to make it so messy that Trump loses the general.

“Cruz isn’t getting the nom and he knows it. He’s just trying to make it so messy that Trump loses the general.”

And the Cruz cult is happy to hand the election to Hillary as long as they can keep Trump from winning.

Cruz is NO DIFFERENT than Obama.

Face it. Your world-class ground game is dead. It’s over.

Back at ya!!!

At least you know you’re losing!

But seriously, if Trump just discovered he had to do both delegate based processes and voter based processes, how can you believe he was really trying to win?
