What to watch:
Cruz should do well in Congressional Districts 4 and 5. And if he wins, as expected, he'll likely take somewhere between 30 and 36 of the 42 available delegates.

Trump's best district should be CD 7, followed by CD 8 or CD 3.

Trump will have a good night, if he wins the inner-city Milwaukee District (CD-2), which is reportedly a close three-way contest.

CD-2 is also Kasich's best opportunity to get on the board.

CD-1, Southern Wisconsin (Ryan's district) will likely be the bellwether in this race. Cruz is favored to win here, along with CD-6.

I have it roughly as Cruz with a range of 30-36 delegates, Trump 6-9, Kasich 0-3.

Of course, that assumes that ARG is an outlier. If Trump pulls the upset expect him to pull CDs 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, with Cruz favored in 4, 5 and 6 close.

I don’t know if any of the current polls took into effect the open primary. Cruz should win but you never know. It will be close. And then again....I could be wrong.

Yep, it’s open and it’s Union. Those two factors favor Trump. (I think)

The ARG poll had the electorate at 40% Independents.

Not going to happen

Cruz wins 39 or 42 out of 42 delegates

I don’t think it will be a clean sweep. Cruz has a tendency of picking up extra votes in certain CDs that are more suited to him, which leaves those that aren’t a little bit thin. (See MO).

I stand by the 30-39 guestimate, which will also likely be the outcome if Trump somehow pulls off an upset. I do not buy the ARG numbers. I think Cruz +5 is about right.
