Ted Cruz won the Wisconsin Republican primary tonight, making it much more difficult for Donald Trump to win the GOP nomination before the convention in July (indeed, he now needs the same percent of remaining delegates as Bernie Sanders does to win the Democrat primary). As the results were coming in, The Donald released a pitiful, nasty statement unworthy of a presidential candidate.
Look up "sore loser" in the dictionary, and you're likely to find the Trump campaign statement after Wisconsin. Yes, it is that bad. Don't believe me? Fine, here it is in all of its glory:
A Tea Party conservative might find it ironic that Trump compares Cruz (once nearly universally hated among GOP elites) to the "establishment," declaring that he had "the entire party apparatus behind him." It is true that more moderate Republicans such as Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, and Jeb Bush have supported Cruz, but the Texas senator is still a far cry from an "establishment puppet."
These are less the arguments of a confident challenger and more the complaints of a spoiled child. Some have characterized such comments as "extreme whining," not without merit. Trump also complained about being treated unfairly on other occasions, especially by Fox News. Here's a newsflash: Presidents do not get treated fairly. If you really want to win this thing, you need to accept that.
I like your tag line.

Thanks for keeping me updated too and glad you are around. I feel like the minority on this db over this issue with Trump at times.
Thank you!
