So much for sleazy Cruz’s bid to steal delegates to which he isn’t entitled.

Yes Michigan does completely rock.

I guess Mich is what Manafort meant when he said Cruz was about to hit a (cough) rough patch.

“We made sure that we were very fair. Transparent. And we tried to coordinate in the caucus level,”

The cannot be said for the Colorado GOP, Louisiana GOP, and North Dakota GOP and a few others.

New face on team Trump, same tactics. When you're getting trounced almost everywhere focus on the exception (plenty of non-MI examples at the link.) Accuse the other guys of cheating and fraud, threaten legal actions that never succeed and often never materialize. Above all try to get the media focus back on the Donald. It's increasingly clear Trump has no chance after the first ballot. His only chance is for his blitzkrieg to cross the finish line. That's still possible, but is getting harder and harder. He's seventy some behind his pace for that at Nate Silver's fivethirtyeight. There are a lot of (liberal and RINO) votes available in the NY and northeastern primaries, but not enough there alone to put him over the top. Having PA set up so the voters don't pick most of its delegates hurts Trump. Cruz looks to be getting virtually all of the remaining flyover state delegates; Trump has mostly given up on them. Only one of the 168 RNC committee/state chair folks who are officially uncommitted has come out for Trump. Trump's reportedly missed the filing deadlines for most of the Washington delegates. I haven't seen anything on Oregon, but doubt Trump is much better off there. And fivethirtyeight is currently predicting a 62% chance Cruz wins CA. Trump will have a couple good weeks left in the campaign but they aren't going to be enough. Wannabee VP Kasich should have endorsed Trump BEFORE Ohio tripped over their mutual egos. He can't gift Trump his delegates until the second ballot, when it will be too late.
