If Donald Trump Loses Wisconsin To Ted Cruz, Trump May Lose The GOP Nomination
Forbes ^ | April 2, 2016 | Avik S.A. Roy

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....

If you think Cruz is getting the Nomination at a convention you are deluded.

I’ve stated before here on FR that Kasich is practically a dem.

At this point I don’t care, if it gets Trump elected.

Although I really really like Gingrich.

But does Gingrich give any help with OH, FL, PA ?

I understand you Cruzbots and basically everyone else in the US with any media or political voice wish to stop Trump and establish this new narrative since Trump is behind in Wiscinsin that he’s faltering or collapsing and Cruz is in the ascendancy

The problem with that LIE IS THAT NUMBER ITS YET ANOTHER LIE

but also TRUMP HAS RARELY BEEN AHEAD SINCE POLLING STARTED IN WISCONSIN

he may been ahead in two by less than 10 points and one by 2 points past few months

The past 40 days Cruz has won most Wisconsin polls

So IN REALITY WISCONSIN HAS BEEN CRUZ TO LOSE NOT TRUMPS

But Cruz Nutz don’t care about truth just getting Glenn Becks annointed apostle the nomination

Wisconsin while not as hostile to Trump as Utah has never been too warm to him

NY and PA are both much more important than Wisconson. The importance of WI is a figment of their narrative. it is also proportional so Trump gets delegates no matter.

No he doesn’t get delegates no matter what. It depends on how bad he loses.

It’s not who funds Trump that’s the problem, it’s WHO Trump himself funds....

He’s in a world of hurt in that department.

Do you really think he can afford to fund a general election run?

I just posted this! I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking this. I keep wondering why no one else brings it up.

Thanks for the heads up on Conservative Tree house. Will check them out.

Any time, personally I use steynonline.com for my supplementary website, but FR makes a good base for anything.

I am concerned about that Nat. Enquirer article about Ted and those 5 women. What happened to it? Is it a smoldering turd ready to explode, or has that been put to rest so the people supporting him can be sure it won’t blow up when things look like they are going ok for him? It just doesn’t seem right that it just went away. If it was Trump it would be front and center of every conversation, like that abortion remark. Something is amiss.
