I can see oh how happy, happy mood, the globalist crony capitalist open borders “analysts” are today on the boob tube! “Build a wall, ha! Go away.”… “Trump and his criticism on the Ford plant in Mexico – he doesn’t understand how good this is for us” but now their agenda is safe! Great news for the Republican establishment and the globalists like their “task force” members Heidi Cruz. And the actual war, THE WAR ON WHITE MALES, moves forward! After all, Heidi is a “strong woman” selling us out for her own power and selling us out to the globalist agenda! Strong woman who want to get those evil white males, not including her own politician husband who I guess she considers is a Cuban so perhaps that doesn’t count as a “white male”.
Big day for the “white male” haters! Those evil white males and their “war on women” against “strong women” like Heidi Cruz! Well all you white males, you have been warned! You already are having all your jobs outsourced and sent over seas, all your factories and industry and commerce and et all sent to Mexico and elsewhere. Hillary or Heidi, these strong women are going to get you to clean toilets very soon.
Boy are the establishment types happy this morning! Trump and his wall – ha! Criticizing sending everything made of steel to Mexico except sending all their illiterates here to take jobs and eat away our social services that tax payers pay for – ha!
No way! No Wall! No nothing! Same old, same old! First Wisconsin the homeland of our BELOVED Paul Ryan, and now THE ENTIRE WORLD!
How can it be a stunning blow when along the path to more than 1237 delegates Donald’s delegate mathematician Barry Bennett allowed for ZERO candidates to be picked up in Wisconsin, YET the Trump campaign will end up gaining 3 to 6 delegates?
The answer is this is media hype and it is to be expected. Ted Cruz will be doing his victory lap for Wisconsin all through the weekend but the back story is the Trump campaign picked up bonus delegates.
Cruz did well in Scott Walker’s state. But there’s nothing that has changed in him or his campaign that will differentiate him from Donald Trump. Nothing has changed except that Trump now has more delegates in his math than he expected.
The Trump campaign was smart. They knew Madison, Milwaukee and the corridor up to Green Bay were lost causes so they concentrated in the outlying Congressional Districts where they actually won votes and delegates.
Cruz supporters should savor their candidate’s victory this week. But ‘stunning blow’? No.
Not at all. Paul Ryan, not Ted Cruz, won Wisconsin yesterday.
Take away the densely populated (liberal) areas—where the Walker/Ryan establishment machinery rules—and Cruz loses.
Ted got 36 delegates and Trump got 6.
Ted has 514, needs 723 of the 839 available (86%) or 760 pledged (95%) to get 1237. That ain’t gonna happen, so his game is CONtesTED.
Trump has 759, needs 478 of the 839 available (57%) or 760 pledged (63%) to get 1237. He has a good chance of getting 1237.

To me the key is the incompetence of the Trump campaign. You would think that someone accustomed to running a business and “getting things done” would have a thorough understanding of the rules and the general process before beginning to try and achieve an objective.
What he has convincingly demonstrated is a lack of seriousness and general competency, at all levels of his organization. He is not a businessman, just a huckster.
With the Republican Governor, Speaker of the House and RNC Chairman plus every media figure endorsing him, it would only be “stunning” if he’d lost.
That’s the last of the establishment-dominated states. It’s all Trump from here on out.
“Hey... Who got his ass kicked last night?”
“Trump got his ass kicked last night”
Five minutes later... “Hey... Who got his ass kicked last night?”
“Trump got his ass kicked last night”
Five minutes later... “Hey,... Who got his ass kicked last night?”
“I keep telling you, Trump got his ass kicked last night. Don’t you remember?”
“Yeah... But I just like hearing you say it!”

Stunning blow... really? More like chipped away at Trump’s lead.
The hyperbolic, breath taking, over the top Trump vs Cruz news cycle is really wearing thin.
As has been noted, Trump matched the RCP avaerge 35%. Looking at the Emerson poll, Cruz 40, Trump 35, Kasich 21; the telling thing is that Kasich was -7 and Cruz was +8. Kasich was the big loser, Cruz ran negative ads against Kasich and that clearly paid off in the densely populated areas where Cruz dominated.

"Ted Cruz delivers stunning blow to Donald Trump with Wisconsin win"
Sounds series.
Congrats to the Cruz supporters here. Well played in Wisconsin, we will see if it carries over to the remaining states. If Cruz & Trump go the the convention without the votes to win on the first ballot, we get to see whether ego and personal ambition trump (pun not intended) our first opportunity to defeat the establishment since Reagan.
these titles crack me up
cruz will be knocked out with his scandal
“delivered a stunning blow to Trump”.
Now I needed a good laugh this morning. Cruz trails Trump by 237 votes with delegate-rich NY coming up in 2 weeks then 5 more Northeast states where Trump is leading by double digits in the polls. WI, with the entire GOPe apparatus behind the Canadian Cruz, will be his high water mark in the campaign. It’s all downhill from WI. Cruz absolutely can’t catch Trump in the delegate count and is counting on the GOPe to throw the nomination to him on the 2nd ballot, when the man in front of him will still have more delegates and millions of more voters. Cruz is as slimy as they come. Ted Romney in all his glory.
GO, TED, GO!!
70-year-old confused man with yellow hair seen rambling about “Nukes for Japan” and “Punishing women”, claims to be running for president.
How much can you squeeze out of a win in Wisconsin? Game changer! Trump is finished! BALONEY!! On to New York and we’ll see who is finished!
