Ted Cruz Declares Wisconsin ‘A Turning Point’ In The GOP Campaign
By Sean Sullivan and Philip Rucker April 5
MILWAUKEE — Ted Cruz rolled to a landslide victory Tuesday in Wisconsin’s hotly contested Republican presidential primary, capitalizing on a difficult stretch for Donald Trump to cut into the front-runner’s overall delegate lead and deliver a psychological blow to the billionaire mogul.
Though the senator from Texas is reviled by many party leaders for his explosive and polarizing brand of politics, Cruz won over establishment Republicans as well as grass-roots conservative activists across this state who had come together in an urgent push to stop Trump. Late returns showed him leading Trump by a wide margin.
Cruz hopes his Wisconsin win transforms the trajectory of the race. Wisconsin adds a important Midwestern bellwether to the basket of mostly Southern or rural states he has won to date, giving the Texan evidence that he can appeal beyond ultra-conservative and religious voters.
Savoring his biggest night since winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses in February, Cruz declared before cheering supporters here in Milwaukee: “Tonight is a turning point. It is a rallying cry. It is a call from the hardworking men and women of Wisconsin to the people of America: We have a choice — a real choice.”
Trump remains in a favorable position nationally, but Cruz now has fresh momentum heading into future contests and Tuesday’s results increase the possibility that the nomination battle spills onto the floor of the party’s July convention in Cleveland

The best he can do is backstab Trump for the GOP-e before being shafted himself.
Arrogant egotistical scum.
This is certain. Anyone who kniws the GOPe understands what is in the cards. Cruz is a patsy.
Trump went from 17% UT to 32% in two horrible “conservative Solutions” states.
Now Cruz is going to win New York Trump’s best state, Cruz’s worst and Prez T’s approval ratings through the roof.
Even Peter King(who has abandoned Trump due to his populist rhetoric) trashes Paul Ryan & Priebus at times.

Yep.. It is all over for Trump.. America is speaking.. through the cheese-heads and they are saying giving me more cow bell.. and more Cruz... I can imagine all the voters from New York will take their clue from Wisc. and vote for Cruz.. </s>
I sure hope so. Well deserved for Cruz and a long time coming. Trump is exposing himself for the bullying, blustering, ill-prepared and ill-tempered name-calling egoist he is.
I think I may throw up.
Trump is beating clinton on Long Island.
Shock Radio Opie, Anthony, Stern & Talkers Howie Carr are all behind Trump.
Hannity & Levin are useless or neutered against Trump.
He is also below 50% in Wisconsin has lost 5%. Interesting.
He’s right. As soon as Cruz’ face appeared on TV tonight I “turned” the channel. Which is exactly the same thing I do when I see Obama’s mug on TV.
Kinda late Ted.....
the turning point for the scumbag cruz is to turn around and head back to canada!
Don’t spoil the surprise!
Where’s his wife Heidi hiding?
Voters are realizing who The true conservative is.
Upstate needs 12 billion illegals to milk the cows, they wont beg for money according to Cruz donors.
Has Cruz looked under the hoods of these characters in Times Square, it’s all illegals dressed as Disney characters heckling tourists for money.
Turning point as in the moment an airplane nose dives and crashes. newly York and the northeast gonna be fun. No more corrupt GOP and their boy teddy cheating
