Wisconsin went for Romney overwhelmingly in 2012. So it isn't really surprising they went for Cruz.

Interesting that there were 49,367 votes in Brown County (Greenbay) this year while there was only 34,000 republican votes cast in the 2012 primary. that's a 44% increase in "Republican" turnout in Greenbay.

Similarly, there were 89,348 votes in Milwaukee county in 2012 vs 105,269 in 2016. That's 15,921 new "Republicans" in Milwaukee.

In Waukesha county (Milwaukee) there were 120,767 in 2016 but only 83,428 in 2012. That's 37,339 new Republican voters in Waukesha. Dane county (madison), had 67,259 Republican votes in 2016 but only 58,258 in 2012.

33,294 republican votes were cast in Winnebago county (Oshkosh) in 2016 but only 25,848 in 2012.

It's also interesting that Dane county, Milwaukee county, and Winnebago county were overwhelmingly blue in 2012 and all had large increases in Republican turnout that overwhelmingly favored Ted Cruz.

It almost seems like Dems exploited the open primary system and crossed over in large numbers for Ted Cruz.
