Not much news coverage on these contests.
Wyoming and Washington, D.C. both held contests on Saturday for delegates in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination.
Trump lost both of them.
It is interesting that, when every delegate may be more important than any time in recent history, there wasn’t a lot of news coverage over these two contests. Could it be because someone other than Trump won? Could it be that reporting two more Trump losses just before Super Tuesday would make him seem, shall we say, “Less inevitable”?
For the record, Senator Ted Cruz won Wyoming. Convincingly. He took 9 delegates. Rubio and Trump each got 1. Rubio and Kasich basically split the delegates in D.C., with Rubio winning 10 and Kasich 9.
For those counting, that leaves Trump just 90 delegates ahead of Cruz, 460 to 370.
1,401 delegates remain. Of those, Trump needs 777 (55.4%). Cruz needs 867 (61.8%).
If candidates other than trump win a total of 625 (44.6%), Trump doesn’t reach the required 1,237 to win the nomination. The decision would then go to the convention, where it would take multiple ballots to determine the nominee.
367 of the remaining delegates will be chosen March 15th in Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Northern Mariana Islands.
Regardless of the hours of free media given to Trump this week…
This race is not yet decided.

The sad thing about Trump is that he is causing a wider split in race and political relations. Basically continuing Obummer’s start of the split in race and political divide, just from the other side.
Gordon Howie,
This was a state convention! Wyoming does not have a contest/primary for President. The people of WY decided nothing, party insiders filled the convention obviously. Nothing to be proud of here.
