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.

“I am going to laugh when Trump wins the nomination and picks Cruz as his running mate.”
You are Right! Trump will win the nomination, BUT....
Trump will not foul up his candidacy by asking Ted to be his running mate. Ted is ineligible. Ted knows it, I know it, and Trump knows it. The only one who doesn’t know it is YOU!
Elsewise you would have never supported Cruz (a very UN-Conservative thing in of itself) nor made such a naïve suggestion that Trump, or any other candidate, would select Cruz as a running mate. Get it back down to earth FRiend.
Evidently there’s some shenanigans going on in Georgia prompting the Trump delegates to walk out.
3..2..1 This will make this Tuesday even more satisfying.
Wyoming is one of the most conservative states in the nation.
DT probably knows the numbers he would have had even if he had gone there and it wasn’t worth his time or $$ so he stayed out of it and can complain about it.

Who actually even cares about winning Wyoming? I’m sorry but these low-density states without primaries are not representative of the people of their states or their Nation.
In the future this is not going to bode well for them because the parties are realigning along the lines of a nationalist party vs. A globalist party.
Neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party will survive as we know them into the middle of this century.
Why would you want a nominee that is a sure loser?

How is someone going to win in November when they can’t beat Trump in July? Do you think the voters will consolidate behind a candidate they didn’t pick? Suppose some might, but some of us are just mad.
The VP is a nothing job with “0” power. No way would Cruz even consider it. And no way would Trump consider Cruz.
On our way to the final goal, nomination of Sen Ted Cruz and victory on the second or subsequent ballots! It's a good shot in the arm of mettle before the New York ass -whippin' next Tuesday, but "you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven." (Hat tip: Steve Miller Band)
Eagles UP! Soldier on.
@mitchellvii I live in WY. Our county caucus was changed from 3/1 to 2/27 -> only county officials knew. Rigged here from the start.— Unfiltered Steve (@stevelasereyes) April 16, 2016
[Home of Dick Cheney the moron]
That may explain why Trump didn’t get more delegates, Cheney took the rest of them out hunting.
Woohoo...go Cruz!
He was the only one who made an effort in Wyoming...watch for the Trump “rigged” charge!
Could be.
The GOPe decided there should be no votes to cast, so there would be none to count.
Why don’t you take a long walk in the Daiichi Prefecture. I hear there are some pristine beaches. Not a soul around. Great place for YOU to go camping. Go swimming and then have a clam bake. It would be for the best.
Yes, I can certainly see that the process was designed for maximum participation. Less than 1%. The GOPe is involved in trying to win the only way it can—by keeping average Americans out of the process. Today they succeeded. They are hypocrites, as you can see by this quote from the preamble of the National Rules of the GOP:
“BE IT RESOLVED...
It is the intent and purpose of these rules to encourage and allow the broadest possible participation of all voters in Republican Party activities at all levels and to assure that the Republican Party is open and accessible to all Americans.”
And people wonder why there is so much anger.
You make me ashamed to be living in Indiana. Let me guess.... Family tree doesn’t fork much. Had to make sure to spell that right otherwise it would not be true.
LoL.
Yeah. Not that big or important of a state. Well just take all national delegates from this little state in a total sweep. Exactly twice the number of delegates Trump got coming in second in Iowa. Thank you very much. We'll just be on our merry way, now. Pleasure doin' business with 'ya.
Yea, and probably won’t play well with people who think Wyoming voters should have a say in picking out the nominee.. Another win for the establishment...
