I believe Trump will hold in on 3. He’s up by 4K votes per Green Papers.

Right. Trump’s delegate number from the AP and those that use the AP’s number does not include the twelve delegates from Missouri that Trump won by winning the statewide vote there, because Missouri won’t be officially awarding those delegates until April 15. So Trump should get a +12 delegate boost in ten days.

Trump has carried twice as many counties and at least 75% of the land area in Wisconsin. Cruz has carried the liberal college towns and big cities. Even in Wisconsin, Trump is the people’s choice, irregardless what some moderate republican snobs and brats in college towns think. The working man and women, the ones that built this country,want Trump.

Me too...only I came in later tonight....just in time to hear Cruz speak!

Oddly enough I really don’t listen to much of what Cruz says....I researched him so much before he announced I know very well where he stands on the issues that matter to me and mine.....and what’s more that he stands firm on those....

Kasich???.....What Kasich is doing is pure treachery!

36 vs. 6.

A net gain of thirty delegates. Or ten less than Utah.

Outside the media propaganda narrative, it's really not a huge night for Ted. Especially when New York is going to completely obliterate his gains tonight in two weeks.

Trump didn’t win, but I don’t think he was ever really expected to...

he pretty much said so himself last night on Hannity and that is why he said he would probably not be sticking around Wisconsin for the election results. Trump is a realist, not a delusionalist like Cruz & Kasich.

Hopefully this is just a bump in the road and not a turning point. I’d really like to see the R wing of uniparty lose to Trump.

Liberty Valance wrote in reply: That right there is interesting.

I'll tell you what's EVEN MORE INTERESTING, and this is a heads-up to LS:

I like to do election numbers [have for years - numbers/data guy], and I was perusing the Republican/Democrat vote totals. Republican turnout was WAY up over 2012 - 788,000 in 2012, about 1,050,000 in 2016.

Democrat turnout - 970,000, in a hotly contested election.

I had a thought, and checked 2008. In ANOTHER hotly contested Democrat primary election,the Democrat turnout was 1,113,285.

So, like - where did the other 143,000, give or take, go?

Knowwhutahmsayin?

The DNC wouldn't send in expendable vote footsoldiers to vote for a sure loser on the Pubbie side, in order to put a thumb on the scales at the Republican National Convention, would they? But where EXACTLY did young Mr. Cruz's over-votes come in? Hmmmmmmmmm? :)

RE:”I’m very impressed with how gracious the Trump supporters here are in defeat. Very classy”

Well look at their leader's behavior prepping for this latest WI vote.

Trump Predicting a huge win in WI over and over, dont forget that phony poll posted here as BRAKING NEWS showing Trump 10 points ahead in WI race. (THAT IS REALLY KILLING THEM NOW!)

Challenging WI GOP voters to be the ones who stopped Cruz and be famous.

Palin at his rally accusing Cruz of welcoming illegals at the border.

NE smears

Joking about how his always being ‘unpresidential’ (ie sleazy) is why he always wins.

What else could we expect?

Ted was NOT in DC while the DC Madam was in operation.

PERIOD! he was in Tx.

End of stupid Trumper story.

Gnight gang

Facts just are not your friend are they? I hope you will realize that I only responded to your post because it was so pompous, abrupt and dismissive. Sweet dreams and goodnight to you, sir.

A self-described "teetotaler" and "cat person" who could pass for a librarian, the 52-year-old Palfrey was fastidious about keeping up appearances in her business, Pamela Martin & Associates.

Between 1993 and 2006, it was one of dozens of escort services advertising in metropolitan Washington, D.C. Unlike those featuring comely "co-eds" with enticements of "a sure thing!" and "anything goes ...," Pamela Martin & Associates appeared rather staid. Her ad from 1999 promised a "one-price policy ... no hidden fees."


Cruz served as a law clerk to J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 1995 and William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States in 1996. Cruz was the first Hispanic to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States.

After Cruz finished his clerkships, he took a position with Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal, now known as Cooper & Kirk, LLC, from 1997 to 1998.


Washington, D.C.-based Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal was founded only five years ago(as of May 1, 2001 (hm)) by two former DOJ officials in the Reagan administration. The firm enjoyed a lucrative and politically charged practice -- until recently. Three top associates were hired away by President George W. Bush and a handful of partners jumped ship.

Cruz also served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner's lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation. Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devising strategy, and drafting pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two wins for the Bush team. Cruz recruited future Chief Justice John Roberts and noted attorney Mike Carvin to the Bush legal team.

After Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

The DOJ and the FTC are both based in Washington DC.


Appointed to the office of Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Cruz served in that position from 2003 to 2008.

That means from 1995 until 2003 Ted was based in Washington DC or commuted for weeks at a time from Richmond, Virginia to DC in during 1995. After those eight years, from what I have heard, Ted Cruz had at least one "special friend" that flew to Texas when he need an "escort servicing."

After all, where else would you expect to find a Washington DC insider being groomed for a an elite GOP establishment Presidential bid?


And furthermore, Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a foreign born parent which makes him ineligible to be President of the United States!

Cruz is on a winning streak from UT (40 Cruz, 0 Trump)

Arizona voted that night. Funny you conveniently ignored that.

The rest of April's primaries:

New York: 90% chance of Trump win
Connecticut: 73% chance of Trump win
Delaware: 68% chance of Trump win
Maryland: 58% chance of Trump win
Pennsylvania: 72% chance of Trump win
Rhode Island: 76% chance of Trump win

http://predictwise.com/politics/2016-president-primaries

There's a pretty good chance, barring an upset in Maryland, that Wisconsin may be Cruz's only primary victory in the entire month of April.

Using the numbers provided in your chart, Trump still has 294 more delegates than Cruz. Factor also the upcoming primaries in the following states where a total of 139 Delegates are at stake:

New York - 95 Delegates

Connecticut - 28 Delegates

Delaware - 16 Delegates

Trump has a very good chance of winning all 139 of these delegates in these states.

So, Cruz wins Wisconsin, and this is supposed to be a game changer? Sorry, I’m not seeing it, or buying it.
