“[Donald] Trump’s second-place finish to Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) in Tuesday’s Wisconsin Republican primary may represent no ordinary setback,” write the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa. “It appears to be a pivot point—although it has yet to be seen whether the trajectory from here points downward or upward.”
~snip~
The last time he faced the prospect of venturing into hostile territory—when his rally in Chicago was overrun by left-wing disruptors—he ended up bugging out. If he fails to secure a majority of delegates, perhaps rather than endure defeat in Cleveland he will find a way to withdraw ungraciously before the convention.

Laughing at you. Cruznadian wins one and everyone wants the frontrunner to drop out quickly, before the northeast primaries.
lol
Cruz is a guaranteed loss in the general. No matter how much you wish it, a philandering, beady eyed, greasy haired Cuban holy roller bankster will go down in flames.
Nobody wants more Bush. And we will wind up with a Hillary nightmare.
But the important thing is that Trump is stopped/s
> “Will Trump Drop Out?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yes, of course! Didn’t everyone hear??? He has already suspended his campaign!!! And ... and ... and ... he’s on suicide watch! Yes, that’s it!!! He’s done, done, done, damn done!!! Oh, he better not show his face again!

I’ll second that.
That’s true.
It almost reads like something Salon, or Buzzfeed would post.
About all it does is balance out the humiliating defeat Cruz had in Arizona a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, the guy with the most votes and delegates should drop out just as he’s about to sew up the nomination in two weeks. Makes sense. Actually, the booger eater or the “aw shucks” phony are the ones who should drop out, since they have zero chance to win the nomination(without cheating).
I was wondering if Ksick will stay in, even after Cruz drops out?
I think he is going to take his 757 and go home
LOL!
When he first jumped into the race I wondered why he would want to give up working on his businesses at the age of 69, when most people are heading towards retirement.
Being president is hard work and forces men's hair to go grey.
Unless he is pulling a Perot.
Is this article real or satire?
Yeah, it’s a stupid story. uh-huh.
From the freakin’ WALL STREET JOURNAL!
So yeah. You go right ahead on and post your non-stupid stories from Mad World News and other great blog-sites about the “Cuban Mistress Crisis”.
Cause that’s all you got.
The WI Democrat voting machine put its thumb on the scales in the Milwaukee area counties.
The numbers are clear - I just looked up the primary numbers on both sides for the 2008, 2012 & 2016 Wisconsin primaries.
See my posts #1490, #1565 & #1573 on the thread Live Thread--Wisconsin Primary--Tuesday, April 5, 2016
Yeah. We need to get behind Kasich (eye roll).
The bizarro world of Cruzers.
The thread poster started off with a Trump insult, and a big BOOM as if they really do believe he's done.
*shakes head*
Stupidity is a kind word to describe these folks.
BOOM! Yes he should drop out...here’s why
RCP has the delegate race as: Trump, 743; Cruz, 517; Rubio, 171; Kasich, 143; Unbound/TBD, 129....for a grand total of 1,703 delegates thus far. This leaves 769 left in the remaining primaries...Total of 2,472.
There is one little fly in the ointment; Only 17 of the Pennsylvania 71 delegates will be bound to the primary winner. So, 54 delegates will go into the unbound/TBD pool of delegates. In this case, the actual number of delegates remaining in the upcoming primaries is really 769-54=715!
Today, Trump needs 494 more delegates from the remaining 715 to reach the promised land of a 1,237 majority in Cleveland. That’s about 69%.
Based on the current numbers, Cruz needs 720 more delegates for a majority and can’t get there mathematically as only 715 are still in play going forward. Oh well, he should probably quit now and go back to Texas!
However, when Rubio endorses Cruz (and he’s already hinted at this post-Florida) and releases his 171 delegates, Cruz will have close to 688; Oops...Cruz back is in play, but still needing about 77%.
When the RNC power brokers finally have their chat with John Kasich about dropping out and Kasich releases his 143 delegates to vote for Cruz, Cruz will have up to 831 delegates and will only need 57% of those remaining.
Of course, those wily RNC meanies will probably be able to swing the 129 delegates in the current Unbound/TBD pool over to Cruz bringing him to about 960 delegates. In this case, Cruz will only need to secure 39% of the delegates in upcoming primaries.
Upcoming Cruz WTA states where he will likely win include IN, NE, MT, & SD, totaling 159 delegates. These states would then get him to 1,119.
Of the other remaining states totally 556 delegates, Cruz would need about 118, or 21%. Trump could still need the 494 delegates, or 89%.
So, is Trump really in the dominant position of this race? I don’t think so...
Cruz has been consolidating the establishment forces behind him in his ascension, as he said he would always do...he’s also organized in every state to get his people elected in the local delegate races planning a second ballot win...many call this cheating...I call it smart politics and like his chances!
Trump continues with his adolescent tweets further alienating the party and jeopardizing his general election chances by pissing off most women. He just can’t help himself...
In reality, The Donald’s chances are now greatly diminished! It’s really time for Trump supporters to come over and support Cruz so that we don’t end up with Hillary! And, it’s time for Trump to save his coin and drop out!
Will Cankles drop out?
why would you even post such a stupid article.
