Wisconsinites just don’t like Donald Trump very much. On Tuesday, Republican voters rejected the loud-mouthed billionaire for the more demure but no less radical Texas Senator Ted Cruz and boy did that make Trump pretty upset.
Shrugging off his disastrous performance in recent weeks, the Republican presidential frontrunner predicted a win in Wisconsin a day before voters in the Badger State headed to the ballot boxes, despite polling showing a likely upset by Cruz. Campaigning in the state on Monday, Trump pointed to a key endorsement for one-time rival and also-ran Marco Rubio in the early state of South Carolina. “It was over and then I won in a landslide,” Trump reminded supporters in Wisconsin.
But when the Associated Press declared Cruz, not Trump, the winner in Wisconsin, the thin-skinned candidate snapped and sent out a press release that reads like the tantrum of a 12-year-old, as the real-estate magnate turned reality-TV star hasn’t faced an election day without a win since losing the first contest in Iowa.

Really...Salon?
A Trumper tantrum.
Stay classy, Donny.
Oh my.
HAHAHA
What else is new?
“A Trumper tantrum.”
I like it! That’s what we’ll call it every time Trump goes off on one of his “Lyin Ted Cruz” rants. A Trumper tantrum.
The TDS sufferers will use any liberal source they can find to attack Trump
Sad people
do we really have to see Salon
‘ progressive’ garbage here on FR ?
I refuse to read it . It despoils my page view
Clicks on thread to comment that the content is beneath him. My sides!
Fox News has a similar thing about this “campaign statement”. I haven’t seen anything on Trump’s various social media sites, and the wording is just too odd, so I’m still calling this a fake unless it can be verified.
You spend your time reading articles from this left wing site?
When it comes to progressive garbage here on FR, to the Trumpites among us I must borrow a phrase so loved by your leader: “You started it”.
The thing is the HATE HATE Cruz, which I consider a compliment.
They destroy both Trump and Cruz.
At least they are consistent. We here just destroy each other. Wish that would end, but I guess that’s what a primary is
Everyone tells me the forces will get behind the winner. I hope so.
The Honey Badger of Wisconsin don’t care for Trump.
They don’t hate Cruz
That was just an act
Some on here still can’t see through that?
Man up Donald...don’t be a crybaby!
My newly adopted tagline (inspired by ifinnegan) says it all!
I am going to assume you did not watch the Hannity town hall last night did you? I am also going to guess the writer at the Soros Solon didn’t either.
you’re wrong bro. Salon is ultra left and hates Cruz.
Let’s stop this convo here because I like you and don’t want to argue over two opinions that WONT BUDGE on this issue with 40 posts :)
Be voting for Trump in two weeks. See ya then!
