Tonight, he lost to Cruz by, it looks like, 17.
Lawyers suck
Agreed. He need to run a mostly positive campaign. Focusing on his opponents should be way down on the list.
Establishment voters of WI are weird, they do what they are told and they did it. That don’t work in New York
New York is Trump’s hometown
Everyone supports the home team here
Just like if Christie was on the ticket or Giuliani
Also
Just today, the Ocean County Party in New Jersey, endorsed Donald Trump, this is huge for him Ocean County is the reddest county in New Jersey and will decide who wins the delegates. The vote at the party was 105 Trump, 26 Kasich and 6 Cruz
So, why do the more liberal voters in WI like Cruz, but not the more liberal voters in the Northeast?
For several reasons. First, Trump was blasted by every local talk show 24/7 in Wisconsin. Millions were spent on negative Trump ads. Second, Wisconsin "liberals" don't get Trumps style. They don't like his "tone". New Yorkers on the other hand get him.
He stepped in it last week, I think he learned his lesson
He still calls Ted, Lyin Ted, but I think it is just branding at this point.
Apparently.

Thanks for the info.
“Six weeks ago, Trump was leading Ted Cruz by 11 points in Wisconsin.
Tonight, he lost to Cruz by, it looks like, 17.”
True and the GOPe now has 2 weeks and tens of millions to spend against Trump in NY...
I wonder how many fools will fall for it?
Makes sense—thanks.
Will be fun to watch him spend tons of money on ad buys here
Nothing in New York is cheap....
Trump KNOWS New York. Cruz, does not.
Different demographic, you don’t tell a New Yorker who to vote for
So the tactics in WI won’t work here
And trashing Trump is going to work here either, you don’t trash the home team (this was Trump’s mistake in WI, he trashed Walker, he should have ignored him and stayed on message)

That's why it's never a good idea to believe polls so far out. Until about a week before the event, the polls are apt to be very unreliable. And even the ones close to the event are often highly inaccurate.
That's also why these "general election" polls are ludicrous at this point.
Is Teddy going to put on a Yankees cap?
I don't know, but I hear he's going to be purchasing a lot of big apples at the local markets. LOL.
How could he be leading Cruz when for months he has 75% disapproval with the Walker-zombies?
I think WI was where it all fell apart for Santorum in 2012 too. Romney, Ryan, and Walker were pulling every dirty trick in the book, including giving out food for votes, I believe.
There’s a pattern that they don’t vote for the populist and the 2nd runner gets 30-odd percent.
We aren’t hand wringing, I think you guys see what is in store for you so you are doing the hand wringing!
But in 2 weeks Trump will be back on top.
Interesting. You're implying that New York Republicans will defend NYC liberal values against the conservative from Texas.
If Cruz comes here to California and campaigns against "Hollywood Values" we will know exactly what he's talking about and we will whole heartedly support him.
