Colorado!!! I’ve answered that stupid question a dozen times.

Well it's pretty much the most important question that the GOP has if they want to take the presidency.

Here is the Red/Blue electoral vote map from 2012.

The Electoral College Vote was:
Obama: 332
Romney: 206

270 needed to win.

Flipping Colorado would be a good start, and add 9 to Sen. Cruz's total, taking him to 215, but he still would need another 55 EV's to get to 270.

Flipping Florida (29), Ohio (18) and one of Michigan (16), Pennsylvania (20) or Wisconsin (10) would do it.

So would just Florida and New York (29).

Now, perhaps, you are seeing Ted Cruz's problem. He's most attractive in Red States, and not so attractive in Blue States.

It's (at least to me) a lot harder to imagine him finding 64 total electoral votes than it is imagining Trump doing so.

Here’s a hint:

Hillary is NOT Obama.

You made a challenge and it was met and checked.

Unfortunately because of the only-party-insiders-get-to-vote processs used in Colorado we have no idea if Cruz has real popular support. Maybe he does, maybe not.

Completely FALSE!

There were 630 Delegates to State Assembly
14 pages of names
Trump had less than a full page of pledged names
Cruz had 4 1/2 pages
Kasich about 5 names
8 1/2 pages of unpledged names.

THAT is why Trump cancelled his visit to the Assembly!

It may well be that Trump screwed up, but still only 630 people participated in the event according to the numbers you've presented.

. That's a tiny percentage of GOP voters in Colorado. What about the other 1,850,000 voters who voted in 2012? When do they get to express their preferences?

Oh, that's right, they don't.

I think that sucks.
