MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin has become an unexpected battleground for Donald Trump and the conglomeration of forces desperately aligning against him, with Tuesday’s primary emerging as a key moment that could reshape the Republican nominating contest both mathematically and psychologically.

Ted Cruz — who has tried to unite conservative activists, talk-radio personalities and the party establishment — stands poised to take some air out of the Trump balloon.

Bleeding from two weeks of self-inflicted wounds and behind in the polls here, Trump scrambled over the weekend to make up ground here he has lost to the Texas senator.

NY, NJ, DE, MD, PA, CA….the path for Trump is there. AZ proved (as did MI and others) that Trump has durability. For Ted his only hope is a floor fight. That’s gotta be hard to rely on.

“For Ted his only hope is a floor fight. That’s gotta be hard to rely on.”

How can he “rely” on the GOPe/RNC when they all hate him?

I think that most people are starting to realize that the establishment is trying to rig this election. If it isn't super delegates for Hillary Clinton, it's the GOP trying to stop Trump in any way they can.

Time for real change.

If Cruz wins WI. This will be the story they will try to sell, for two weeks... And then in the 19th Trump will evicerate Cruz in NY... There is no path for Cruz.

There will not be a “winner” in Wisconsin.
Trump, Cruz, and Kasich will all get a share of the delegates.

Lol, Cruz was a shoe-in for WI until recently. If Cruz loses WI, he should leave his delegates to Trump.

NY and NJ are sufficient to ensure Cruz cannot get to 1237.

Ted Cruz is nothing but a pawn & peon being used by the GOP Establishment to get their POTUS nominee. They will destroy Ted Cruz faster then a New York minute, the second they get control of the GOP Convention. Wisconsin voters do not be fooled by loser MItt Romney and his GOP (E) cohorts. Cast your votes Wednesday for Donald J. Trump, give him (Trump) the Wisconsin win, and the GOP (E) will be wiped out!!! Do it!!! Support & vote for Donald J. Trump, this Tuesday!!!

Yeah Ground, the thought came to me too. No screwing around, just crash it.

Total disregard for the Constitution should make clear what went wrong.

The story about Cruz’s adultery, $500,000 to the Fiorina campaign to launder a payoff and the hypocrisy issue has been ignored and not publicized in the MSM. However a big part of Cruz’s support and the core of the Republican electorate are the evangelicals and social conservatives. If Cruz lost 10-15% of his support in these communities and the shift has not been detected in current polling, Cruz may have a nasty shock in Wisconsin on Tuesday.
