Anti-Donald Trump forces say Wisconsin primary is ‘Ted Cruz’s to lose’
The Washington Times ^ | March 25. 2016 | S.A. Miller

Wisconsin’s Republican primary is shaping up as a fateful test of whether Sen. Ted Cruz can blunt the momentum of Donald Trump, and anti-Trump forces are rushing to back Mr. Cruz, the GOP establishment’s unlikely champion.

With its deep reservoir of committed conservative voters, Wisconsin, which votes in two weeks, is considered fertile ground for Mr. Cruz, who’s also seeing millions of dollars in spending by his allies and anti-Trump political action committees.

“It’s Ted Cruz’s to lose,” said Brian Fraley, a Republican political strategist in Wisconsin. “The never-Trump movement is pretty strong here.”

Wisconsin awards 18 delegates on a winner-take-all basis to the top statewide vote-getter and a further three delegates to the winner in each of its eight congressional districts. That’s a potentially significant haul in Mr. Trump’s hunt for the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination and avoid a contested convention.

The Dem side of the Force is strong there.

With the massive smear campaign going on by anti-Trump forces I’m done with the republican party.

Cruz is a low life.

If he is the nominee I’ll stay home.

Only one way to avoid a brokered convention— vote for Trump.

Ole Teddy can probably hook up with at least half of those Wisconsin gals by next week.

Helps with the voting business.

Please allow yourself to reconsider that. Cruz is an easy target for Hillary on his NBC status, but as the only option then, he would be all we had.

I think DemRats can cross over and vote in the SWish-conned- sins primary.

Ted Cuz has the evangelical Christians locked up.

Ted Cruz will win the South.

Ted Cruz will win the West.

Ted Cruz will win Wiscinsin.

Ted Cruz will win a floor fight at the convention.

Ted Cruz will win a third party bid.

Ted Cruise stands out front of the White House with Glenn Beck on their 37th day of fasting between meals catered by Heidi and his loyal supporters... Ted’s only recognizable words are... mine, mine, they said it would mine, while listfully looking at the White House with tears in his eyes.

Losers Cruz...

I think is true.

Cruz will have in his corner Scott Walker, Rinse Pubic and Paul Ryan. All will pull out the stops to halt Trump there.
the path for the contested convention and Ryan as a nominee begins

Cruzie will still get the polygamist Mormon and Islamic vote, though exceeding four ‘wives’ will trouble in some quarters.

Cruz is a great candidate. He does not lie. I empathize however as to how it feels as I would never vote Trump.
Trump’s vindictiveness hit its ceiling. When you campaign bashing everyone who criticizes you, make fun of women’s looks, the disabled, the press, Scalia, pundits and fellow candidates, call people pedophiles, losers and liars you lose.

Romney certainly did so in Utah. Wonder if there is buyers remorse there today.
