Sen. Ted Cruz was projected to win the Wisconsin primary Tuesday, delivering a stunning blow to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and resetting the race as it heads east later this month.

Sad to see your passion overriding good judgement and a strategy to thwart Rove/Romney. If Cruz endorses Trump, will that pollute Trump in your eyes?

Actually, it’s a perfect analogy.

Cruz will not be mathematically eliminated until and unless Trump gets to 1237.

Cruz cannot get to 1237 ... He will be mathematically eliminated in 2 weeks ... he was practically already eliminated before last night.

Only Trump can get to 1237 ... once Cruz is mathematically eliminated his support will drop. No one wants to vote for the second place guy that cant win.

Trump has been gracious to Cruz in the past when Cruz has won

Are you joking? Every time Cruz wins a state, Trump accuses him of lying or cheating. Iowa. Texas. Oklahoma. Louisiana. Utah....

Amazing how Trump supporters have such selective hearing.

Essentially they will be ignoring the voters choice even though it may not be a majority going in.
But rather an arranged winner amongst a few delegates that aren't necessarily representing the constituents
votes. I really have a hard time seeing a Cruz win even at a brokered convention but I know he's basing
his win on being able to stack the deck or manipulate the delegates to his side.

It to some degree will be interesting to see how the party mgmt come down in this vote. To a degree they
aren't necessarily the most conservative but they do have clout so they can sway votes, imo.

If Trump goes in with the much larger voting block then imo he shouldn't be denied by back door deals. And
to me that is what it may come down to. I'm not sure the voters will be that enthused by such actions either.

If Jimmy carter didn’t throw me off Trump, I guess I can extend that to Cruz.

I will not support a man in any way shape or form that sides up with the likes of the GOPe/RNC, Romney, Rubio, the Bushes, to deny Trump his victory.

Ted is politically dead to me.

It’s his own damned fault too.

Here is a possibility... Trump misses the amount by like 10 delegates to win outright.

In a contested convention, Ryan or Romney get chosen. Then Trump runs as an independent and draws enough votes away from the Republican nominee that Clinton or Sanders win.

Then we have 4 or possibly 8 years of Clinton or Sanders. Process how more powerful China will be by 2024, and how much more of a hold Islam will have over Europe. Consider Iran will most likely obtain nukes during that period.

Then consider the possibility of Supreme Court appointments, such that Liberals outnumber conservatives on the court 6-3.

Trump has a history of acting like this.

That was embarrassing. His good friends on Fox and Friends, where he usually drops in every morning to get a little free publicity and some atta boys, were extremely kind to him about the little tantrum.

What they did was basically ignore it and play only a few words and then move on.

It was so revealing of the Real Donald Trump.

Dream on. It effectively shut Trump out of getting the numbers needed.

Plus it was a tremendous PR boost for Ted Cruz.

Nice analogy but save it for when it is apt.

No. Trump’s speech was not out of line.

It was exactly in line for the Real Donald Trump.

Thanks for joining Trump in dissing a state that he didn’t win.

Wisconsin might have suddenly become a great state if only they’d had the sense to vote for Trump.
