Trump is running his own ads. Just heard one in PA today.
Trump had a lot of endorsements in Arizona. He got endorsed in Maine and still lost.
The states Cruz has won are very consistent by region and by how conservative they are. Cruz wins red states and Trump wins blue states, other than the southeast, where the vote-splitting helped Trump win with similar shares of the vote that resulted in losses in later states.
Since when are Mormons “mafia?”
OTOH, in the end, Trump shall make a clean sweep of the the other states on the Eastern Seaboard !
The Mormons vote in lock step how they are told.
I’m in Tennessee and Trump won overwhelmingly here. East Tennessee is one of the most conservative parts of the country. It’s been Republican since before the CW, every when her neighbors physically attacked people here for being so. Intimidation doesn’t work here so Cruz lost big time.
Outside of his home state area Cruz seems to need establishment help to win the states he did. The Mormon mafia in Utah and the Walker machine in Wisconsin for example. Trump won the states he did using less than a skeleton crew around him - no polling - no superpacs - no focus groups - no speech writers and almost no money spent.
