Facing a break in the primary calendar, the Republican presidential candidates are fighting over convention delegates and the process of selecting them.
"Republicans are uniting behind our campaign because they want a leader with real solutions who will bring back jobs, freedom, and security," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said after completing a sweep of Colorado's 34 delegates at a state convention over the weekend.

Meanwhile, New York businessman Donald Trump, whose lead in GOP delegates has fallen below 200, protested that he is losing delegates in states that he won handily among voters.
"I win a state in votes and then get non-representative delegates because they are offered all sorts of goodies by Cruz campaign. Bad system!" said a Sunday tweet from Trump, who revamped his campaign organization last week to better prepare for the Republican convention in July.
During an appearance Sunday in Rochester, N.Y., Trump called the delegate system "crooked."
Trump's new convention manager, Paul Manafort, said Cruz's people are using "Gestapo" and "scorched-earth" tactics to intimidate delegates into supporting the Texan.
