Ted Cruz wins Wyoming Republican presidential nominating contest Posted: 16 Apr 2016 02:56 PM PDT By Ginger Gibson CASPER, Wyo.

Cruz is trying to prevent Trump from obtaining the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination at the July convention in Cleveland. By continuing to rack up small wins, Cruz is gaining ground on the New York real estate mogul, who has thus far failed to shift his focus on the local-level campaigning necessary to win delegates.
