What it was, he was working on a rules change thru Utah. He wanted to reduce the amount of delegate majority states from 8 states down to 4 states so he could contest the convention with his 4 states. To change the rules, a roll-call had to be called, but the chair said no and thus the attempted contested convention collapsed. Then Colorado stormed out, one of Cruzers delegate states.
This 8 state rule use to be 6, but they changed it to 8 after Ron Paul. Cruzer wanted to change the rules during the convention rather than after as what I understand is when they usually do it. If only he could drop his voterless election tactic on the convention, throw out all the delegate votes, I think he would.
I don't think he's going to fall in behind the Don, it's tantrum time. Just like when he went berzerk on Hannity's radio show months back hehehe.
