Aides know that the campaign must secure a month-long streak of wins while building ties to the party establishment and offsetting fears about a possible loss in November.
In Colo. and elsewhere, Cruz keeps winning in trickier delegate contests
If Donald Trump fails to get the 1,237 needed to win the nomination, his missteps in more obscure contests — like Colorado, where Cruz swept all the delegates Saturday — could be the ones that cost him a victory.

Wyoming Democratic caucus results
