Wisconsinites just don’t like Donald Trump very much. On Tuesday, Republican voters rejected the loud-mouthed billionaire for the more demure but no less radical Texas Senator Ted Cruz and boy did that make Trump pretty upset.
Shrugging off his disastrous performance in recent weeks, the Republican presidential frontrunner predicted a win in Wisconsin a day before voters in the Badger State headed to the ballot boxes, despite polling showing a likely upset by Cruz. Campaigning in the state on Monday, Trump pointed to a key endorsement for one-time rival and also-ran Marco Rubio in the early state of South Carolina. “It was over and then I won in a landslide,” Trump reminded supporters in Wisconsin.
But when the Associated Press declared Cruz, not Trump, the winner in Wisconsin, the thin-skinned candidate snapped and sent out a press release that reads like the tantrum of a 12-year-old, as the real-estate magnate turned reality-TV star hasn’t faced an election day without a win since losing the first contest in Iowa.
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him,” a Trump campaign press release reads, accusing the Tea Party Senator of illegally coordinating with a supportive super PAC and the Republican Party of unethically working to sabotage Trump’s campaign.
Trump, seemingly sensing an overwhelming loss in the Badger State, did not hold any campaign events Tuesday night but also didn’t hold back from lashing out at Cruz and accusing the Republican Party of conspiring to unduly deny him the nomination. “Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet — he is a trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump”:

All this time, I have been of the opinion that if either Trump or Cruz wins the nomination, I would vote for either, and I have stated this here on FR. After this junior high school tantrum outburst, I rescind all my prior statements that I will support the Republican nominee- I cannot vote for such an immature moron as D.J. Trump to lead our nation if he becomes the nominee of the Republican Party.....
Salon? Well at least you are a consistent DU troll.
Opps my mistake
I thought we were talking about the establishment, they don’t hate Cruz, but Salon, Salon is garbage
I don’t care what they think to be honest
Cool, I don’t get to vote Trump until June, NJ is the last primary along with California and Montana I think
I was just thinking the same thing.
Got to give credit to Iowa David.

go insane for a year waiting to vote. even longer for you!!
I admire the way Trump has played the media, even besting coverage for the lying media for their favorite DemoRat candidates.
But , sooner or later he has got to come out with policy , rather than 'name calling' and having a "hissey-fit" and still getting the media coverage .
I understand that he is scheduled for a media exposure and he will soon explain his policy statements.
I am NOT locked into any particular candidate - but I want to see something other than 'name calling',
and want to see a policy statement and an explanation of implementation from both candidates.
I firmly believe that either DemoRAT candidate will lead us to irretrievable national suicide, either by carelessness, stupidity , or control of the Supreme Court .
This is no time for digging deeper into your bunker and snipe at the opposition candidate ,
it is time for cogent thought , not emotionalism - which leads to error .
The DemoRAT alternative will probably be fatal to the Country as we know it !.. and we can't risk it, nor can we afford it !
Hat tip to Iowa Dave. I only “steal” the best.
Funny, I finally came to the conclusion, after stating I would vote for Cruz if he is the nominee, that I am not so sure. He really gives me the heebeegeebees. Plus, working with all the establishment folks, yeah, not so sure anymore.
Excuse me.
Trump needs to debate Cruz one on one.
But he’s Chick’n so he won’t.
He’ll get his butt handed to Himself. Believe me.
Trump is not man enough. He’s EVERYTHING HE HAS ACCUSED OTHERS OF BEING. You know the list.
And don’t give me this crap “They’ve already debated.” We both know that those debates were watered down entertainment venues. I’m talking about an issues debate, man to man.
In fact, an article shows that senior Trump advisor indicates assumption that Trump would lose Wisconsin.
Trump Sr. Adviser: 'We’ve always assumed that we would lose Wisconsin'
If i understand correctly, Trump was also advised not to campaign in Iowa.
-—Trump needs to debate Cruz one on one.

What benefit would that give Trump?
Cruz is going to get slaughtered over the next few weeks, why would Donald engage Ted?
It would be bad strategy for Trump, who has a significant lead coming up, to debate a debate champion.
After umpteenth debates, Ted did not do so well, or does he still have more boogers to eat?
You’re having a party with these idiotic articles, I see.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually Teddy the TOOL and his band of cruzettes will wake up to reality. Or we are ALL going down - if you like the way the country is headed, go all in for Teddy the TOOL - he won’t disturb a thing.
oh how cute!
My name for Ted is TEDDY THE TOOL
He is part of the game and here I thought cruzettes wanted change! Guess you guys are revealing to all of us that what is happening now is a-ok as Teddy the Tool won’t change any of it.
How can he? He’s bought and paid for and in bed with the lovely Bush Family, the McConnell/Ryan/Graham/Hatch Club for Growth family - here comes amnesty - glad the cruzettes understand reality!
That IS classy for Donald.
