My brother in law lives in WI, and he says that there are anti-Trump ads running constantly for the last two weeks, and talk radio has been hammering him as well.
I can’t think of any other candidate who could still be in double digits and that close to the frontrunner with that much firepower directed at them. If Cruz was getting hammered like that, he’d be at 5 percent.
Kay-sick isn’t dropping out until at least the April 26 Northeast Super Tuesday primaries. And even if he does, not all of the Kay-sick vote goes from the son of a mailman to the son of a Cuban preacher/oil worker.
Trump will get a good portion of those votes as he is the more moderate of the candidates remaining. It won’t be the bulk of the Kay-sick vote, but a good enough portion of it to get him over 50%.
Right on.
ROFL! Best laugh I've had all day, thanks!
Ground chatter says undecided breaking big for Cruz (Kasich lovers who want to stop Trump)
Trump seems to be gaining in Wisconsin. Maybe buy Tuesday is will be a toss up or Trump slightly ahead.
Tuesday night will bring much expected results.
If you think Tuesday night will be hard, just wait until the convention in Cleveland and you wake up to the reality that Ted Cruz and his supporters have been played for the useful idiots that they are by the GOP-E when you don't get the nomination even after bending over and full open-mouth kissing the GOP-E's backsides.
Don't forget to wipe.
Wisconsin is modified proportional unless you win 50 % of each congressional district. Trump is looking good right now. Cruz is dropping today because of all his lies. Trump wins even without Wisconsin but if he even gets 12 to 15 delegates — THAT IS A HUGE VICTORY!!
Here are the headlines I am seeing
Cruz takes 10 Delegates in LA
Cruz poised to take delegates in MA
Cruz well positioned for delegates in AZ
Cruz has extra delegates in GA
I have missed these headlines
GOPe takes Cruz delegates
Trump takes Cruz delegates
I am guessing you have never been involved in party politics at a state level. If you had, you would know there are some GOPe operatives for sure, but the vast majority are very conservative.
There is no way these delegates are going to say no to Cruz. Won't happen.
This whole GOPe bogeyman is coming from the Trump Report, Trump Bart News, Trump News Channel to try and scare Cruz supporters. Not gonna work.
Trump made his bed (attacking Heidi Cruz, assaulting female reporters, insulting everyone he ran against, pushing false stories about Cruz cheating, having no clue how delegates are selected) now he should enjoy it
Cruz, 2016 Republican nominee, 2nd ballot
I've been very involved in county, state and national politics. Most importantly (for me...) between 1992 and 1995 during the Republican Revolution, consulting for several national campaigns, providing opposition research, and membership in several organizations that helped lead that Republican Revolution.
There is no way these delegates are going to say no to Cruz. Won't happen.
LOL! Who hasn't been involved in party politics at the sate level? Delegates are whores. They go where they get the best perceived benefit for themselves. They may feel committed to go with the guy they were elected to vote for during the first round, after that all bets are off, especially for your guy who just so happens to be the most hated man in the United State Senate and has a proven track record of not being able to work with anyone.
Useful idiot, much?
Here are some headlines you're missing, not coincidentally because the delegate counts vastly outweigh the ones you're citing:
"Trump takes California."
"Trump takes New York"
"Trump takes Maine"
"Trump takes Deleware"
This whole GOPe bogeyman is coming from the Trump Report, Trump Bart News, Trump News Channel to try and scare Cruz supporters. Not gonna work.
Wow, you sound like a lib. Attack the messengers, don't attack the facts.
Trump made his bed (attacking Heidi Cruz, assaulting female reporters, insulting everyone he ran against, pushing false stories about Cruz cheating, having no clue how delegates are selected) now he should enjoy it.
Once again, facts are not your friend (obviously.) It was a Cruz super-pac that released the pictures of Melania Trump after Ted Cruz alluded to the fact they existed during a stump speech. No coordination there, right?!
Of course Trump attacking Heidi Cruz was low-class. No right thinking, decent human being would deny that. No right thinking, decent human being would ignore Cruz's actions which precipitated Trump's actions however. That speaks volumes of you, your character and integrity. Nice job, ace.
Cruz, 2016 Republican nominee, 2nd ballot
Not sure what you're smoking, might want to put that pipe down and wake up to the reality that you're being played by the GOP-E and are as delusional as Ted Cruz.
Again, useful idiot much?
Today will also be a bad day for Trump followers
In ND they are selecting the 25 delegates
Right now
15 of 25 are Cruz or Anti-Trump
3 of 25 are pro Trump
2 are governor and someone else I forget
5 no idea
Cruz supporters put their own ballot up of 23 delegates. No one else did. Counting is going on.
You can follow on Twitter search for NDGOP
From the Washington Post today
Sounds a lot like me.....
The idea that delegates on the convention floor — people who are, by and large, quite conservative and are accurately described as the base of the party — would throw over not only the top delegate getter (Trump) but also the person who got the second most delegates (Cruz) is decidedly implausible given what we know about the state of the GOP today.

LOL your recitation of the events is interesting to say the least.
The GOPe “boogeyman” is not a figment of Trump’s imagination...The guy up in North Dakota said the party picks the nominee not the voters...So unless the party likes supposed outsider “Tea Party Ted,” he ain’t gonna get the nod.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/16/we-choose-the-nominee-not-the-voters-senior-gop-official.html
Now since Ted has brought on the majority of the Bush campaign staff and received support and endorsements from Bush, Romney, Lindsey Gramnesty, et. al., Cruz may just be establishment enough to get the nod...Interesting conundrum...because you all say he is such an outsider.... so why would GOPe endorse him?
So you are stating that all the delegates will go to Cruz because they are conservatives...Wow, didn’t happen in 2012—they all went for Romney, who was by no means a conservative. I think the only delegates that truly had integrity were Ron Paul’s when they walked out. BTW, I was involved in Wisconsin party politics when I lived there.
What pray tell is the “Trump channel”?? Would that be Megan Kelly’s channel?...She is such a Trump fan! You know, the channel owned by Rupert Murdock who is an open-borders guy and supports Hillary...
You are pushing all the GOPe memes or should I say lies BTW...
Cruz staffer bought rights to Melania’s picture. Just a coincidence I guess.
I don’t call tweeting an unflattering picture an “attack” —Cruz played it up to the hilt even expanding into lying that Trump attacked his whole family. Seriously?? It was just a fricken picture!
Just stop with the lying.
It was NOT TRUMP PUSHING STORY...It was Rubio and it was out three for weeks. under #THETHING
Oh, and since you bring it up, how do you know they re false stories?...Pretty interesting tweeting by Amanda Carpenter (that wonderful woman who worked for Cruz as his spokeswoman and speechwriter and wrote the Trump supporter hate list)...What a sweetie! I especially liked Ted and Amanda’s matching Churchill tats placed in identical spot—biceps and revealed on same day!
Trump did not assault anyone. Stop lying.
Regarding Trump Campaign manager incident, the “reporter” who purposefully placed herself ahead of the Secret Service to get close to Trump is a serial slip-and fall con artist who delights in making herself the story. There is video news coverage of her many escapades.
I see you are delighted that trump has been shortchanged some delegates...Well Washington insiders like TED know the ins and outs of delegate schmoozing and stealing.
Sorry to tell you tho that Trump has hired an expert to help him guard his honestly won delegates, so hopefully no further shenanigans with occur with delegates.
Trump didn’t make the bed...Cruz sycophants are trying to make one for him by pushing falsehoods.
Noted, Iowa David says Cruz on second ballot...is the fix in?
I want whatever you are on
Those rumors were not well known. Most folks don’t read the Hill let alone it’s comment section
I was talking specifically about the Nat Enq splash
That's New York in two weeks. Wisconsin is WTA by plurality via individual CDs and statewide.
My guesstimate pegs the winner getting all but 9-12 delegates under that scheme.
Kasich probably has a chance in Madison and Trump with a few CDs in NW WI and possibly downstate (outside of Milwaukee).
Sorry. I don't do drugs of any kind.
But for you I'd recommend an anti psychotic.
No tea no caffeine no sugar? Really?
And your MD was achieved at what school?
OK, the prediction has been made.
