Ted Cruz sweeps Wyoming state convention

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) picked up all 14 delegates awarded at Wyoming's Republican convention Saturday, CNN reports. At earlier county conventions, Cruz notched 10 of 12 delegates, with one going to Donald Trump and another unbound.

Campaigning in New York on Saturday, Trump once again criticized the Republican Party's nominating process, calling the delegate system "rigged."

The Wyoming success is the latest in the Cruz campaign's effort to pick up small wins that could keep Trump from snagging the nomination outright before the national convention.
