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 Wisconsins hotly contested Republican presidential primary, capitalizing on a difficult stretch for Donald Trump to cut into the front-runners 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 Tuesdays results increase the possibility that the nomination battle spills onto the floor of the partys July convention in Cleveland

Propaganda.
Cruz is a distant second.
Lol. He’ll always have Utah and Wisconsin to brag to his grandchildren.
That is good news. She is the enemy, she truly is.
That’s right, Ted, it’s a turning point. We’re turning to New York, where your GOP machine will die.
.
Trump can’t beat Cruz in NY.
His NYC values are a stench to the rest of the state.
.
Yet another Trump blowhard that has no clue. Wisconsin is not a 50%+ takes all state. Winner gets 18 delegates and the winner of each congressional district gets 3 delegates. It looks like a 36-6 Cruz split of Wisconsin's 42 delegates.
Utah. Isn’t that were Glen Beck called Cruz the fulfillment of prophecy? And Cruz, the blasphemer, reveled in it.
GO, TED, GO!!
I really don’t give a shit, I will vote for whoever has a chance to defeat her. I’ve studied the Clintins almost 25 years, and they are in my opinion otherworldly evil. So whomever takes the most fevered fight to her and is nominated to go up against her—that’s where my vote will go.
DUH. I might have checked my spelling after almost 25 years of studying the C L I N T O N S (not Clintins lol)!
He’s done. He’s won his last state. No way he wins New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, deleware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, or California. Cruz is done. It’s over. He’s has given his last sermon.
Wisconsin is winner take all by congressional district and statewide. Winning over 50% doesn't change that. If Trump wins a CD, he will get three delegates. Right now it looks like he might win 2 CDs. So if things remain the way they are, Cruz should get 36 delegates and Trump 6 delegates.
Yeah and Cruz got 17 percent in Florida and Ohio.
That really is irrelevant to the general election - he lost in a GOP primary to other GOP candidates. That says nothing about how he would do against Hillary in the general in those states, just as the fact that Trump won the Florida primary doesn't say anything about how he would do against Hillary in Florida in the general.
Unless and until Trump gets to 1237, Cruz can get to 1237, whether before or at the convention. There are lots of other non-Trump and unbound delegates that Cruz can pick up.
See you Cruz guys in NY!
.
teletech is probably not even old enough to vote.
Just look at his posts.
Bookmarked.
“...a great guy, and strong leader like Cruz.”
Strong with this one, the Kool-Aid is.
If Cruz is really so good, lets see him take some of those States.
.
Cruz has killed the trump monster.
(with the help of the monster’s mouth)
Trump is done.
I have not seen any evidence of strong leadership!
Frankly, I think he is cracking under the strain!
