Sen. Ted Cruz was projected to win the Wisconsin primary Tuesday, delivering a stunning blow to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and resetting the race as it heads east later this month.

It’s stunning that you think that.

Cruz is in it to win it and he will do just that now that Trump has no chance of getting 1237.

It’s unlikely that Trump will take enough delegates in New York to make a difference.

I will not support a man in any way shape or form that sides up with the likes of the GOPe/RNC, Romney, Rubio, the Bushes, to deny Trump his victory.

What "sides up"? They came to Ted trying to stop Trump. No doubt about it.

No doubt, they are hoping their support will also hurt Cruz in the long run, as it has, obviously for you. That was part of their master plan. Fragment the base.

It's a new and fairly ingenious strategy. But, they do it, one way or the other every time. The circular firing squad has worked in the past and they were able to just stand by and watch. This time, they are having to get busy, but their strategy is transparent.

Trump's success has clearly changed the game. And the GOP is adapting, now playing the base for idiots. Let's not fall for it.

Trumps campaign plan is obviously to de-legitimize the election process because thus far the “loser” hasn’t reached the required delegates to win..... he sees Cruz on his tail and then some via the delegates at convention.

The press release where he actually accuses the ‘victorious candidate’ of committing a major federal felony is about as classless as one can get....and interesting the media and his supporters don’t blink an eye at that.........but the serious voters who have been watching this circus do.....and they will be his downfall as this moves along.

He fails enormously to realize that people simply see through the drama and circus and just don’t want him as President. All he hears is the crowds, which don’t mean they’re voters....they’re just crowds.

Cruz cannot get to 1237. . . .

Sure he can. He can pick up lots of delegates in the remaining primaries. And then, if he's still short of 1237, he can pick up lots of delegates at the convention, from the other non-Trump delegates and the unbound delegates, to get him to 1237.

Pitiful, Ray.

pitiful.

Cult behavior is adoring a leader who continues to display bad judgment and poor character.

Cult behavior is setting aside all previously held moral standards to excuse the behavior of the adored.

No one believes Cruz is ‘anointed.’ We just believe he is the best candidate and will win.

The new GOPe mantra is “Better to lose with Cruz.”

The GOPe does not care who the nominee is as long as it isn’t Trump. They know that Cruz, Ryan or Romney would lose to Shillary and that is okay with them. Don’t want to rock the boat with Trump maybe winning the Whitehouse.

Probably the GOPe would even be happy with Sanders being elected.

The democrat party is in worse disarray than the Republicans, if that is possible.

But if you believe in polls ... and that’s all we have to go by right now... Ted Cruz would beat Hillary or Bernie and Donald Trump would lose badly to either.

I wouldn’t vote for Ted for my local school board.

Sorry, Ted has the stank of the GOPe/RNC on him now.

He has for months now. I’m not buying in.

The support of these people merely confirmed what I had known for a while.

Ted isn’t content to let the will of the people prevail. He want’s to gain the nomination over the opinion of those who voted for the man with the most delegates.

If posting that screed makes you happy, go for it.

Trumpers need a little happiness today.

Good point. I wasn’t even thinking about how Trump could abuse the gov’t to exact revenge. Don’t forget the military...he may use the military to get even with someone in another country that embarrasses him. He appears to be like one of those guys that has to get the last word in or have the very last say on the matter.

Megyn Kelly is the one that that asked him if he ever cheated on his wife! What kind of question in that? He answered it but damn...that’s stupid. I wouldn’t say she’s on his side. If she asked Trump that question the Trump Internet would be exploding with attacks on her.

It's interesting that as Trump failed to get the "surprise" win he said he would, that he hires someone to help him with delegates.... Wisconsin bit him in the rear. ....hard! It's also interesting that in every state Cruz wins Trump yells fraud and has a childish tantrum....."It's not fair!"...."They're trying to steal this from me!".....WHA! WHA! Wha!....

Meanwhile Cruz and Heidi make a great "WINNING TEAM"!....

Yes, Trump is doing himself in.

It’s not just his mouth or his tweeting finger, it’s his general narcissism. He has admitted he doesn’t like to hire people smarter than he is and he has proven it with the staff he’s got.

An incompetent bully and a Russian mob guy are fighting it out for control of Trump’s campaign.

He simply cannot get a handle on it.

He’s entered the real world where money cannot buy brains or class and he’s a stranger in a strange land.

I’m thinking you are actually one of the writers for Saturday Night Live and normally only lurk here.

It is truly amazing what trumpers will say and do.

I used to know some of these people.

The last time Trump was gracious, I had my first dog.

I totally agree about the concession speech.

Only in a few places where the most ardent trump lovers reside, would that speech be acceptable to anyone.

It was horrible, a childish, insult-laced tantrum that revealed a childish, vindictive man.

Out in the real world, it was a death toll for Trump.

His friends on Fox and Friends suggested he take a couple of weeks off.

Maybe a couple of months would do it.

How long do you think it will be before he tries to gloss over some of the worst rhetoric in that rant?

It will be interesting to see what happens.

How do we know that that tweet is real?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3417923/posts?page=35#35

or those who didn’t catch the Trump post-Wisconsin News Release here it is in all it’s pathetic glory:

Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again. Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him. Not only was he propelled by the anti-Trump Super PAC’s spending countless millions of dollars on false advertising against Mr. Trump, but he was coordinating `with his own Super PAC’s (which is illegal) who totally control him. Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet— he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump. We have total confidence that Mr. Trump will go on to win in New York, where he holds a substantial lead in all the polls, and beyond. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who can secure the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton, or whomever is the Democratic nominee, in order to Make America Great Again.

Yes apparently that is what was talked about on the news today.

Heidi looks really pretty in that picture.

Only Donald would try to portray her as unattractive.

Here you go.

I'm assuming this is actually a Donald Trump page but not being an expert on Facebook I can't really guarantee it. But I think it's legit.

Trump Facebook Page
