Wisconsin is just one more battle. Even if it goes extremely well for Cruz on the 19th he will still most likely lose enough of the candidates in New York that he will no longer be able to mathematically get a majority of the delegates before the convention. At that point the Cruz campaign will be no more legitimate than the Kasich campaign.
Trump can begin arguing that a vote for Cruz or Kasich is a vote for the GOP establishment to pick the nominee. A vote for Cruz or Kasich will mean that the path to destruction that the party bosses have agreed to will continue unabated.
For evidence all Trump would have to do is point to recent statements from Carl Rove, Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell. If that is not enough we have the recent debacle in Tennessee that confirms this as well.
Sorry for the android auto-correct typo. Candidates in the first sentence was of course intended to be delegates.
can you fill me in on the “debacle in Tennessee?” Not sure exactly to what you are referring.
I think I get it...
