Ted Cruz Declares Wisconsin A Turning Point In The GOP Campaign
By Sean Sullivan and Philip Rucker April 5
MILWAUKEE Ted Cruz rolled to a landslide victory Tuesday in Wisconsins hotly contested Republican presidential primary, capitalizing on a difficult stretch for Donald Trump to cut into the front-runners overall delegate lead and deliver a psychological blow to the billionaire mogul.
Though the senator from Texas is reviled by many party leaders for his explosive and polarizing brand of politics, Cruz won over establishment Republicans as well as grass-roots conservative activists across this state who had come together in an urgent push to stop Trump. Late returns showed him leading Trump by a wide margin.
Cruz hopes his Wisconsin win transforms the trajectory of the race. Wisconsin adds a important Midwestern bellwether to the basket of mostly Southern or rural states he has won to date, giving the Texan evidence that he can appeal beyond ultra-conservative and religious voters.
Savoring his biggest night since winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses in February, Cruz declared before cheering supporters here in Milwaukee: Tonight is a turning point. It is a rallying cry. It is a call from the hardworking men and women of Wisconsin to the people of America: We have a choice a real choice.
Trump remains in a favorable position nationally, but Cruz now has fresh momentum heading into future contests and Tuesdays results increase the possibility that the nomination battle spills onto the floor of the partys July convention in Cleveland

Another dim bulb urging voter nullification.
Conservatism’s last best hope, voter nullification.
LOL
No, what I'm saying is that if, say, Cruz gets 52% of the delegates at the convention and Trump gets 48%, then Cruz is the nominee. The one who gets the majority of the delegates at the convention is the nominee. Pretty simple. That is not "nullification." That is "nomination."
It seems cruz wins only in the echo chamber states outside of texas. Even then he has to depend on someone else’s party machine (mooch)
Cruz seems to be running for televagelist in chief and I don’t know anyone who would say that matches their values.
He's going to mop up down south in the Bible Belt.
I hope you Cruz supporters are ready for the next two weeks.
I don't see a strong leader giving Obama fast track authority.
.
Top the informed, Cruz gave himself (the incoming President) the authority.
As for the rest of your nonsense, we have no time for your games.
What happened to the Constitution?
When asked about Obama Cruz said the only thing he had against him was his policies!
So, the fact that Obama is a lying snake doesn't seem to bother Cruz.
