Cruz dominates, Trump falls short again as more states pick delegates
By Ed O'Keefe
Ted Cruz dominated the race for delegate seats at weekend Republican meetings nationwide, further positioning the senator from Texas to overtake Donald Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination if the contest is decided on later ballots at the Republican National Convention.
In some instances, Cruz supporters won delegate seats in states that Trump won, meaning that in most cases they will be required to vote for the businessman on a first ballot. But if Trump fails to win the nomination in the first round, those Cruz supporters could switch to the senator on subsequent ballots.
The Trump campaign has assured supporters that it would begin performing better in such settings, but it still seems more focused on winning most of the remaining 15 contests through June and securing the 1,237 delegates needed before the Cleveland convention.

Mr. Trump will be at my home town, at my alma mater today. Maybe I'll go check out the protestors.
