That’s pretty funny. Wisconsin is a MUST win for Cruz, not for Trump.

A useful exercise. What are the current delegate totals and the percent of remaining delegates not yet committed b state vote? And, how far and by how much does each candidate have to go to that magic 1237? Care to answer that?

Seems to me besides ‘excerpting’ to avoid some “off color language” maybe some other salient points are being neglected.

Slate, Huffpo, National Review, Townhall, Salon, Washington Post, New York Times and on and on and on......when did all these places become bastions of Republican Resurgence.....[oh, wait! I made a funny! Forgot to include “The Resurgent].

Slate.

The humor in posting one outlier poll fifty different ways in one day, with the final article coming from a leftist site is beyond words.

And Cruz supporters wonder why we think they act as horrendously as their candidate.

The new Marquette poll finds his favorability rating at 22 percent, compared with a 70 percent unfavorability rating. That is … bad? No. It would be an insult to the quiet dignity of the word “bad” to call that spread bad. A 22–70 favorability spread is in the mid- to high “holy shits.” Sure, that number includes all voters, not just Republicans. But if Trump has a 22 percent overall favorability and 30 percent of the Republican vote, that means there aren’t a whole lot of Republican primary voters out there for him to sway.

The author concedes that this stratospheric unfavorability ratio cannot necessarily be exported to the other forty-nine states but it gives us a baseline and it suggests a trend. I do not think Trump will get 1237 delegate votes going into the convention and I think he will try to buy delegate votes by cutting "deals" just to he bought politicians throughout his career.

If he buys enough delegates to get the nomination, his unfavorability ratings tell us that he will be slaughtered in the general election. There simply aren't enough white male voters to compensate for these daunting unfavorability ratios. Donald Trump is the most hated of all modern potential presidential candidates. When he goes down in the general election, he will take senators, representatives, conservatism and the country down with him. Hillary will nominate three or four leftist Justices who will finish us off in those areas that the Democrats themselves don't get around to.

The military will be virtually extinguished, the debt will strangle the economy, our enemies will attack from without and from with in. All of this for a misguided infatuation with a reality television, beauty contestant entrepreneur, a prize fighting promoter, a titty bar owner, a bankrupt gambling casino magnate, a grifter of vulnerable students and nutrition minded suckers, a brutal landlord, a deceiver of customers, a bully, a misogynist, a serial liar, a mountebank and a man thoroughly unworthy of the highest office in the world.

The most delegates Cruz will get out of Wisconsin is 30. That includes the at large-bonus-RNC delegates (18).

The only thing he gets out of Wisconsin is bragging rights before he is wiped out mathematically by 4/26. At that point, he only stays in for a possible contested convention, in which Cruz will be thrown out like so much garbage by the GOPe or GOPe will cut him a deal for SCOTUS or VP. VP is a looong stretch though.

I am one eyelash away from believing that Donald Trump will be the nominee... of a yet to be named third party. What will happen then, is anybody’s guess. Perhaps H. Ross. Perot will win.

Slate is a leftist rag. Even RT (pravda) isn’t nearly as far left as those commies/demokkkrats are.

OMG! Slant.com is hawking that headline based on the Marquette poll, which only had 437 respondents and a huge 5.8% MOE?

And they're not discussing the other new (Optimus) poll with over 6000 respondents and only a 1.14% MOE, which had Donald Trump ahead of Ted Cruz by 4%, a lead which is outside the MOE?

What a bunch of clumsy spin!

Realistically and objectively, I'd rate the state as closer to a tossup myself, but Salon apparently has a propaganda campaign to push (along with 2DV)...

Cruz is an idiot, he’s a stooge of the EStablishment. Establishment leak story to National Enquirer to make Cruz angry at Trump and make it personal, so he will remain in the race to deny Trump the win. AT the convention, Cruz won’t be picked

Hip Hip Hooray, the anti-American globalists win! We had one chance to keep our constitutional republic and we blew it. Thank you Canadian Ted, long live the North American Union. Press 1 for English is here to stay. You Cruzers are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.
