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.

It was also a big win for McCain, Lindsey, Jeb, Romney, McConnell and Goldman Sachs. If you want George T Bush III you won.
Thanks. I’ll continue to check it out.
Appreciate the ping ;-)
We haven’t heard much from him....his Type of Narcissism would go into hiding after the Wisc. loss because he knows it was a big loss....for Trump’s mindset “everything” is based on win or lose....there is no middle ground and important to remember that’s how he sees life in general...and for sure in anything he puts his hands to accomplish. ..........he’ll lash out when he has loses and or blame others or both, he can’t do otherwise, THEN he’ll nurse his wounds. Trump doesn’t like the “feeling” of vulnerability.....Cruz just swung a hard hit so he’s feeling pretty bad. More-so then most would because Narcissist “feel” 50% and above deeper than the average person......so you can bet he’s hurting from this...and as much angry!
Please. I don’t “adore” any one.
> No one believes Cruz is ‘anointed.’
Some posters do. And Cruz does. And his father does. He stood on stage with Glen Beck and basked in being called the fulfillment of prophecy.
He uses religion to dupe decent people.
Did you see the margin of the Monmouth poll out today for NY? Trump is killing it and he could end up taking the vast majority of the NY delegates. Don't kid yourself. This race isn't over - not by a long shot. Trump even managed to eke out 6 delegates last night - surprising considering the margin but Trump had everything against him in WI: talk radio, Walker and an electorate that wanted experience more than outsider. Trump is poised to win NY big.
What if we want Ted Cruz, who’s already shown his independence from the establishment by his actions in the Senate?
Don’t try to hang those people around his neck. It doesn’t work any more.
Oh you mean like this "anointing".....
Well, cling to that then.
I haven’t said the race is over but the race IS ON.
Trump continues to hurt himself. His mouth is in free fall and he cannot stop it.
His campaign staff is in a civil war with one incompetent staffer fighting another ... and one is a Russian mob dude.
If he can’t control his own mouth or his own people, do you really want him?
It’s his home state...Trump should win...besides that his campaign is based there...Cruz has pretty much written off NY for that reason. NJ may follow...but Pa is going to be a battle...Trump didn’t show for the Pa Jouran. Conv. ..and was a bad play on his part not to be there....the delegates loved Cruz...so Trumps got some ground to make up for In PA.
She’s a real woman ... not just a Playboy model and she is smart and competent.
While Heidi was Phi Beta Kappa at Claremont, under Dr. P. Edward Haley, we only have Donald’s word that, “I went to the Wharton School of Business.
I’m, like, a really smart person.” He also claims that he was a top student there. But as theNew York Times disclosed in 1984, Trump merely took classes at Wharton, but did not achieve an MBA.
Furthermore, Trump was not on the Dean’s list, which he would have been, if he’d exhibited any academic excellence, and there were no mentions of his name in the graduation program of attaining any honors, in any category – curricular or otherwise.
Here’s a direct link to the statement from his campaign, in case it goes down the Twitter/Facebook memory hole (which it will in a few days when this post is no longer one of the most recent.)

Thanks IP for the screenshot of said Facebook post. That may be helpful if the post becomes a liability (which it should).
Tell me Ms Long, how do you feel about Trump now, now knowing he said (through his campaign) what you suspected he didn’t say?
Cruz has been anointed as a “king” to take control of society to “bring the spoils of war to the priests” and thereby bring about a “great transfer of wealth” from the wicked to the righteous, according to a prophecy.
Trump hasn’t.
Nice try.
Oh, Doughty. That is not worthy of you. You know that Cruz fought the establishment in the Senate to the point that Donald said he has no friends there. Donald regarded it as a bad thing that Cruz fought for principles instead of bargaining and negotiating. I do not.
So, how is he lined up with Romney or Rubio or the Bushes?
That doesn’t even make sense. I believe Romney endorsed him but that doesn’t make Cruz lined up with Romney.
You know that he fought Rubio on the gang of eight thing and won. Rubio has not even endorsed him.
As far as the Bushes go, ... well, that is a reach to say he sided with the Bushes... can you illustrate that?
If you’re mad that Cruz beat Trump in Wisconsin and virtually denied him the votes he needs, just say so.
Don’t drag in untrue and inconsequential stuff.
That is Trump’s job and he’s doing it very well.
Also, it is my understanding that there is a rule here about supporting the nominee. Are you jumping ship on that?
“Stunning blow”. Who writes these laughably-hyperbolic headlines?
Cruz won 36 delegates; Trump six.
A net gain of thirty whole delegates, or ten less than frickin' Utah.
Truly a huge win! Won't be wiped out by New York in under two weeks at all.
Cruz cannot win, even if he wins the primary.
Trump runs as independent, then Hillary or Sanders win, for the same reason Perot pulled more voters from Bush than from Clinton.
if Wisconsin is as important as you suggest, then Sanders will win.
I hope you enjoy socialism.
“At least you know what that billionaire is like.”
Not to the extent that I know what he will say or do or advocate next.
You’re scaring me.
I think Hillary is vulnerable. Not just because of her e-mail scandal but because of how well Sanders is doing. That tells us that she may win but she’s not that popular.
But Trump can’t beat her. He needs broad support including women and conservatives and Republicans and he cannot get that support. Plus his high unfavorability is a big negative.
It is highly unlikely that an outsider would win a contested convention if I understand how that works.
How about we just nominate Cruz and win.
Is it in the GOPe/RNC interest to subvert the will of the primary voters?
Who is trying desperately to do that?
