Ted Cruz sweeps Wyoming Republican Convention
CNN ^ | 4/16/16 | Dan Berman

Posted on 04/16/2016 3:22:24 PM PDT by Iowa David

It's a Ted Cruz sweep in Wyoming.

Cruz won 14 of 14 Republican National Convention delegates up for grabs at the Wyoming state convention here Saturday. The crowd here was clearly in Cruz's corner, as the Texas senator was the only candidate to make the trip to Casper -- ahead of a major snowstorm -- and Sarah Palin, scheduled to speak for Trump, previously canceled.

We’re saving Lee for the Supreme Court, although I suppose he could become VP briefly first.

This ends April 26th after Trump wins his 6th in a row and Ted finishes 3rd for the 6th time in a row.

I hope you are correct!

It is really tiresome to hear Cruz supporters eagerly embracing voter disenfranchisement, since it benefits *their* guy. And, worse, trying to spin the disenfranchisement as Trump incompetence--who are they trying to kid?

I'm looking forward to not hearing about Cruz any more.

And given Trumps age, if you think Trump would win you would be crazy not to take the VEEP slot. Given the age of 3 of the 4 remain contenders for the two major party nomination slots, the VEEP nominations will be quite important.

Yes. Another victory for Ted Cruz where the voices of the actual voters mean jack squat.

No. Once again similar to CO, local caucuses were held, where all registered Republicans were eligible to vote for delegates who by state law must declare their presidential preference.

These elected delegates then vote in county conventions and finally the state convention.

Just goes to show that you’ve bought into the ‘they took away the voting booth” b.s. and don’t know your history about state parties selection methods.

Some states have primaries where voters vote—and some do not. This is nothing new. Caucus states have been around for decades and all candidates know which are which. And the smart ones build organizations to obtain those delegates by caucus or whatever.

Trump didn’t build organization that could compete in some caucus states and now wants to pull the wool over your eyes by screaming that the regular party officials are responsible for his lack of effort or understanding of the process. Sounds like a guy who wants everyone to play his way or take the ball and go home.

“Don’t count on that. Trump would pick Mike Lee before he would pick Lyin’ Ted.”

Works for me. But what happens if he decides on Kacich?

That’s the only way the Republican Hillary can win. Cheating, stealing, lying. It seems we have people hellbent on getting exactly the same nominee as the Democrats and we’ve seen how well that’s worked out last time.

I would almost rather have a Clinton than the lying scum Ted Cruz.

At least the pendulum will not swing back to Ted.

In 4 more years, the country will still be here.

But if Ted is elected, we are dead.

If the GOPe is simply going to GIVE Cruz delegates without holding a vote, wouldn't it be cheaper to "make a rule" to just end voting?

Not much population Wyoming, huh??? I thought the state was bigger than that....

Those are local delegates who were elected at local caucuses who voted.

That and the GOPe donors likely invested heavily in Rubio and want something out of it.

And what percentage of the population was able to 'select' their 'delegate'? In the end, we all know with the evidence that the delegates are predetermined to 'select' the chosen candidate of the party and not the people.

The people were not properly polled to determine the will of the people.

Cruzbots care naught of the will of the people.

That is FUNNY! I'm in a laughing mood now.

And combined with an absolute sweep of Wyoming w/ Cruz getting all delegates, these two indeed get me in a quite happy mood for today. Happy Saturday!!

If Cruz does get the nomination, I wonder what he plans to do about winning states where actual voters vote?
