Cruz: I'm On An 11-Election Winning Streak, Trump "Doesn't Handle Losing Very Well"

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz spins primary contests in Utah, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Colorado as "eleven elections" on the John and Ken Show (in Southern California).





Transcript:



HOST: The big news of the day is you won in Colorado 34-0 over Trump. You got 34 delegates, but there was not a single vote cast, not primary no caucus. Trump is now running around saying this is rigged or corrupt. One of his advisors said you are using "gestapo tactics." What's your response to all this?



TED CRUZ: Well it is all silliness. We've seen a pattern now with Donald Trump doesn't handle losing well, and when he is losing he gets angry. And he begins yelling and screaming and often he begins cursing insults and attacks at anyone he can touch. Here's the simple fact, in the last three weeks there have been a total of eleven elections all across the country.



We've beaten Donald Trump in all eleven elections.



Let's go back three weeks ago. The state of Utah, we won 65% of the vote, a landslide, won all 40 delegates. Fast forward to the state of North Dakota, they had their convention, elected their delegates, of the declared delegates we won 18 delegates, Trump won only 1. 18-1 that's pretty good.



Then fast forward to Wisconsin... We ended up winning Wisconsin with 48% of the vote, another landslide...



And then in Colorado. Seven in each of the congressional districts, and then one at their state convention.



HOST: So what are these? Delegate conventions?



CRUZ: They were Congressional conventions in each of the districts that came and voted for the delegates. At stake were 34 delegates and we won all 34. A total of about 65,000 people voted in Colorado. So when Donald is screaming about the election being stolen from him, what he means is the people when they go to the ballot box are voting against him and it makes him angry.



HOST: So people showed up at these seven Congressional conventions to vote for delegates?



CRUZ: Correct. There was a whole series of elections, and people showed up and they elected their delegates. 34 delegates were elected alltogether. We won 34, Trump won 0... He has now lost eleven elecitons in a row in four states. So he is scared and he attacks.



HOST: I understand what you're saying, but obviously Trump has support in Colorado, it is not like he has zero percent support? So is this a matter of your campaign team being very smart at managing this delegate process and Trump's team is completely out to lunch?



CRUZ: No. This is a matter of grassroots activists showing up and voting. And winning the election. And listen it is the case in many states that the winner gets all of the delegates even though other candidates have support.
