Excuse me????
Trump did better than expected?
What did you expect then? Zero votes.
Last I checked he was about 35%, Cruz at 48.5%. I know that Cruz got as high as 54% as the wave of Madison and Milwaukee came in and Donald skipped around 31%. But with 3609 of 3852 precincts reporting, the results are as above and are expected to narrow slightly more as the night goes on and the outlying areas that mostly favor Trump get their results in.
So this is actually quite good for the Trump Campaign because so far they are poised to pick up at least 3 delegates and possibly 6 (each Congressional District yields 3 delegates).
The reason this is so good is that the Trump Campaign had allowed for a pickup of ZERO delegates from Wisconsin on the path to 1237. In other words, WI was never factored into the 1237 math. So picking up delegates there is a bonus.
The news gets better as the eastern states come into play where Trump commands huge leads.
In the meantime, Cruz supporters should congratulate themselves for a good victory in Scott Walker’s state. From here on out, it will be Trump all the way. He won’t be making any more mistakes, nor will he allow the media to play any more gotcha games with him. All the recent stumbles will be in the past fading away.
It is expected that Ted Cruz will do his victory lap on the Sunday shows. It should be a good week for him.
