Ted Cruz has locked down all of Colorado's delegates

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz won the 13 delegates up for grabs at Colorado's convention Saturday, solidifying his sweep of all 34 delegates, The Denver Post reports.

As the Texas senator keeps picking up delegates, he increases the odds that frontrunner Donald Trump will not be able to lock up enough delegates to secure the nomination outright, instead forcing a contested convention in July.

"I am confident we are going to win in Cleveland at a contested convention," he said.
