Trump got almost the same % of the vote he did in Michigan, a win for him, but now a loss in Wisconsin. Trump didn’t get any more unpopular between then and now. His opposition just finally started voting smarter.
This vote tonight shows what the smart numbers guys have been saying for two months, that all the Republicans need to do is consolidate behind one candidate to beat Trump, because Trump has had a ceiling under 50% everywhere. If Rubio had gotten out sooner than Florida, Cruz might be leading in delegates. And if Kasich gets out now, Cruz will almost catch up to Trump in delegates.

Are you implying that Wisconsin is a precursor for Cruz wins in:
NY
Conn.
Delaware
Maryland
Penn.
R.I.
??
What if Trump wins these states, or a majority of them? What conclusion will you and Rush Limbaugh draw?
See my post #1490, young Jedi.
Two CURIOUS things: Cruz got YUGE booster votes on the WI Big-City Plantations - and 150,000 or more votes "disappeared" from the Lefty primary column between 2008 and 2016. BTW - 2016 is MORE contested than 2008, on the Democrat side. :)
Some cynics might say that the DNC was hedging its general election bets by attempting to ensure a RNC convention floor fight.
This would necessitate "vote footsoldiers" casting votes for the also-ran.
The movie Weekend At Ted's comes to mind...
Oh, BTW - "congratulations" on your WI "victory", Ted.
LOLOL!!!
