More the of the recent primaries have been open, more of the upcoming primaries will be closed, which favors Cruz.

I'll take "screwing with them for $1000, Alex!"
Foghorn is all about making deals, with multiple devils, if necessary. So, as much as I think he's a blustering buffoon, with knowledge on many issues, an inch deep, he's the choice to run against.
Raphael, is a beady eyed, ZERO compromise on anything, Con zealot! He would relish pushing America as far right and as quickly, as possible. A clear and present danger.

A crushing win in Wyoming today. Rubio second and Trump third with only 7%.

It was a caucus of 900 people. A non event in the scheme of things.

WYOMING? 
So, because I'm not American, I guessed how many critical electoral votes would be on the line- at 4.
I was one off.
Try again, when Raphael grabs a meaningful State.

All states are meaningful. If Wyoming had not gone for Bush he would have lost the election to Gore. Do not take the great state of Wyoming lightly.

I know I have said this before, but I REALLY don't know why folks have such a "fear" of Ted Cruz, somehow believing that he would set up some type of secret police to outlaw and jail people for things like no drinking, dancing, and gambling. 
Has his campaign done some things that are questionable, sure. But that has not shaken my belief that a US led by Ted Cruz would be a much better improvement over the corruption and willful destruction of the past 8 years. Just sayin!!
That's my perspective, but perhaps I am not informed. What are some of these things Ted Cruz would do that I should be concerned about?

Tucker, are you trying to tell me that Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands will also be non events? I think I will post the results just to spite you.  The people there are not going to like you very much. 
Whats next, that Jarvis Island is not an important overseas possession of the USA.

Well, I live on an island, so I am always more partial to results in those locales. Always important to know where American Samoa stands on the really important stuff.

I don't get it either. When there was a full field, there was one I really liked (Paul) and one I couldn't stomach (Chris Christe) who was very anti 2nd Amendment as Governor. I cast my vote today for Cruz. If no one wins 1237 delegates, I think he's the logical choice for the party to go with.
Rubio & Kasich are probably decent people, but if they were to win in a brokered convention, probably half the party would sit out the election.
If Trump wins the 1237 delegates, I won't like it but I'll give him my vote. If Trump wins in a brokered convention I really won't like it, but I'll give him my vote.

100% GUARANTEE, if there's a brokered convention, Trump will NOT be the nominee. The GOP establishment has tried everything to derail Trump, and if their secondary plan to deny him the 1237 succeeds, you think for a second that the outcome of a brokered convention wouldn't be a FIXED outcome?......The only way the GOP wins POTUS is with TRUMP, but no matter what happens, the GOP will never be the same, if it even exists at all, and I say "it's about damn time". RIP- GOP 2016, and take Romney to hell with you....

No disrespect to your thinking, as of today I see the White House is only attainable with Donald J.Trump. I maintain Mitt Romney is not relevant at all, and around today's time frame the so called establishment have to make a choice to take a chance on Trump. So look for it to happen, the will of the people has steamrolled the establishment. These people will take a push before they will accept a loss.

There are limits and no way in a brokered convention Romney, Rubio, Bush or Kasich would fly. It'll be Cruz or Trump.

Cruz always talks about defending our religious freedoms. Some people do not believe they are in jeopardy, however, this article should give every Christian another reason to support Cruz for president. An atheist sued a pastor for erecting a giant cross on church property. The atheist filed the lawsuit because the mayor and council members attended the ceremony, which was on a Sunday, claiming it is unconstitutional.

If Cruz becomes President and screws up big time you can always blame Canada, he's one of us.
