We mere savages in mere flyover country are not important to New Yorkers, even supposed Republican ones.

Cruz is about to lose 7 states straight where Trump will increase his total by 200 more delegates. Cruz lost big on the March 1st and then lost big on March 15th, which made caucus state like CO, WY insignificant. It’s been really over for Cruz since mid-March.

Despite the small numbers at stake, this is a dumb move. He needs every delegate he can get if he wants to reach 1237.

Ask Cruz. He's throwing away the entire Northeast, apparently, except for Maine, a caucus state, of course...

Is there a way to give you a Denial of Service? It would ease the spam here considerably.

How much did you raise today for the other reality TV star in the race? You know, The Biggest Loser. How much?

How many times can Cruz win Wyoming? First March 12, then a couple of weeks ago, now again. Is this the strategy, keep voting in Wyoming every other week, so Cruz can claim a "big" victory at all times?

Yawn.

With the northeast and California coming up? As many Wyomings as he wants.

Cruz will get these 14 delegates, plus another 12 or more former Rubio delegates from OK.

Will be interesting to see if Trump can be held to 80 delegates here in NY.

Heard that Cruz needs to win 38% of the delegates to not be eliminated and force a second ballot.

Sorry if that upsets folks- The best solution is for Trump and Cruz to somehow reach a rapprochement or the delegates could get together and form a ‘shotgun’ wedding.

Is there going to be a vote in Wyoming? It might be helpful to the delegates to know who the folks they’re representing want to be the nominee.

It’s clear that these Wyoming people want Cruz, not Trump. Yet, when he again loses tomorrow at the WY state convention, Trump will bitch and moan that he was somehow “cheated” and Cruz “stole” the delegates.

i dont understand how any serious candidate can ‘throw away’ or ignore potential delegates

especially a candidate with DT’s resources (like, its not like he couldn’t afford to pay a brief visit in his airplane and/or send someone to WY to lobby on his behalf, or whatever might be required to pick up a few more delegates)

there’s something wrong in the DT campaign

Interesting nugget about "Cruz's support" in WY. They're for legalization just like Cruz is !

Why does he KEEP doing this. Then of course he will say it is rigged. One would think he could have easily had his 1237 if he had actually gone to each state but he seems to have sent his surrogates or no one to quite a few. Does anyone have that info—in which states did Donald Trump actually campaign? it would be interesting to line them up against the final results and see if it had an impact.

Does this mean that we’ll have to endure Trump’s whining about Wyoming’s corruption now too?
