Ted Cruz won 63.6% of the vote in Wyoming last night (Saturday)

Too late to post in LBN, but that's pretty significant. Rubio was second with 19.5%, then Trump with 7.2%. I think he can still defeat Trump after the other two drop out after Tuesday.

They only award some of the delegates now and then the rest next month at some convention thing.

That's probably why this didn't get much attention.

So if you notice there was only 600-700 votes or so. The state almost has 700k poeple. So essentially the 600 or so people were voted in and they are the ones that cast a vote for a candidate. Essentially republican establishment voters. and the republican party insiders cant stand trump thats why he only got 7 percent of the vote. The big test will come on Tuesday in ohio florida nc and Ill.

The problem is cruz is bleeding supporters since the weekend and what happend in chicago. A lot of consv on twitter are ripping him apart for blaming trump for BLM. hes facebook is getting lit up. A lot of them saying they no longer support cruz and are voting for trump.

Wether those are trump bots its hard to tell but its a lot of em that its hard to believe atleast some of it isnt genuine. How that translates into votes in a few days remains to be seen. Trump this benefit though for 4 people to be in the race.
