Colorado is not going well for Donald Trump.

After a shake-up at the top this week in which Trump empowered Paul Manafort to manage the campaign’s troubled delegate operation, Sen. Ted Cruz swept a third straight Congressional District convention Thursday night. All three delegates selected were listed on a slate put forward by the Cruz campaign.

The strategist vs. the showman: Cruz and Trump run very different campaigns

Ted Cruz took the stage Thursday in the most traditional of campaign trail venues: a stuffy gym at a Christian school where hundreds of people listened to the stump speech Cruz recites at nearly every campaign event and cheered, snapped ­photos and held handmade signs.

Poll: Clinton, Trump lead in Maryland

Hillary Clinton has a clear but narrowing lead over Bernie Sanders three weeks before Maryland’s Democratic primary contest, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.

The poll also finds good news for Donald Trump, who has a slight edge among likely Republican voters, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich in second place.

Donald Trump currently has 743 delegates, 494 short of the 1,237 needed to win the nomination. But he is far ahead of rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

Poll: Trump and Clinton hold narrow leads in Pennsylvania
