After Donald Trump’s series of victories in the Republican Party’s March primaries, it became clear to everyone that Trump is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. But the cheeseheads of Wisconsin may be poised to blunt Trump’s momentum. And if Trump loses Wisconsin, he may fail to gain the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the GOP nod.
Republican activists won’t support Trump on the second ballot
Barring an unforeseen collapse, it’s pretty much impossible for Ted Cruz to end up with more delegates than Donald Trump when the last states vote on June 7. And it’s impossible for John Kasich to come anywhere close. But as Trump’s erratic statements continue to accumulate, the #NeverTrump coalition is quietly organizing to deny Trump the nomination if Trump can’t win it on the first ballot. Many of the delegates bound to vote for Trump at the Republican National Convention in July will be free to vote for whomever they choose on a second or third ballot....

And, you think Cruz will? Hahaha - not in your wildest dreams. He is being used by the GOPE (actually, he is one of them_) but, being used nonetheless. They’ll throw him aside like an old shoe just as easily. Wise up!
Beautiful.
If so say hello to President Hillary Clinton. I will write in Donald Trump’s name.
At least he didn’t go to the border and pass out teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal families. At least Trump was born in the US. At least Trump didn’t sign on to TPP to give away our sovereignty. Nor did his wife work for CFR, Goldman Sachs, and building of NAU . And, you are worried about a few mistakes Trump made? Wise up.
You see his supporters posts all day long. There’s no way to gauge such levels of stupidity. It makes the poorly educated seem like Ivy League thinkers.
If Donald Trump Loses Wisconsin To Ted Cruz, Trump May Lose The GOP Nomination And GOP Will Lose to Clinton.
There fixed it.
Wisconsin are you listening?
HAHAHAHAHA. Wisconsin. The be all to end all for the primary season. I’s Ov-ah!! Yawn.
Now did Romney and lying Ryan win Wisconsin in 2012? Trump has outed the laziest people on God’s green earth... so called conservative pundits, talkers, and writers, they amount to contrails...
You need to educate yourself. Mike Lee is under investigation in Utah right now. He isn’t so squeaky clean either. I don’t want Cruz any where near the WH. He isn’t eligible and besides that = he is just another compulsive liar like obama.
“Definitely **NOT** Kasich”
Hmmm, got to win OH.
The easier OH is to win, the more resources can be spent in the other swing states.
The best Crooze can hope for is to be the VP candidate under this year’s designated loser Romney, Ryan, or Jeb.
“This hard hitting report brought to you by Captain Obvious”
That was my first impression. Lol.
We'll see. Perhaps Cruz wants to negotiate from a position of strength. Perhaps also, he wants to control exactly how this goes. Dropping out and endorsing Trump could very easily backfire. Kasich would get all the ant-Trump establishment votes, probably winning some states that Trump would have won against divided opposition. If you add in that the Cruz delegates would no longer be bound to vote for Cruz, Kasich could get a first round nomination from Cruz dropping out.
I've done the math (this election and many previous elections). Other than being the only candidate, the best situation for a strong outsider like Trump is two opponents. Trump is better off with Cruz staying in the race, for now.
It’s not me that has to wise up... the voters out here who are asleep at the wheel... too many voting that believe the drivel.
"Under investigation" is a vague term, and it's often politically motivated. In this case, I'd dismiss it in the absence of evidence. But, I'm okay with Sessions too.
Trump cannot take any kind of perceived or real criticism. His ego is too fragile. He is a thin skinned narcissist.
Look before we start hanging crepe lets remember that John Kasich has 143 delegates. If Trump is running a little short in the run up to the last June primary I would urge him to cut a deal with Kasich for VP and have him flip his delegates to Trump. Better that than try to cut a deal with Luz who will be trying to stab him in the back the whole first term.
Also unlikely a jerk like Priebus would let Cruz get the nomination either all those establishment folks will knife him in the back as well. They will run another useless Ryan or Romney.
Yeah, you guys are conservatives. LOL
And just what are you conserving? The Establishment gravy train?
