Ted had a strong ground game in my neck of the woods, Philly suburbs.
There were Cruz signs put up all over the place over the weekend, I had 2 people knock at my door to talk about Ted, and on the way to the polling place, there were Cruz signs lining the yards.
I saw no Trump signs, and I’ve only seen one Trump bumper sticker, out near Lancaster.
But I voted Trump, and for delegates pledged to him. And he carried the state, and my area, handily.
Apparently Trump doesn’t need the traditional ground game.
As I said before, Trump should have won Wisconsin. I believe he was up 10 days before.
Then the 24/7 ads started. Hillary, Bernie, Cruz, Kasich and every super pac had negative ads against Trump.....not each other. Talk radio was #never Trump everyday. Cruz had the Rino blessing of Walker, Ryan, Johnson and others. The constant barrage against Trump was relentless. Also, it was right after the Melania ad/Heidi tweet, Fields affair etc. - the imaginary war on women. There were rumblings of voter fraud in Waukesha county. In the end Trump received 35%, Cruz couldn’t break 50%. And, Trump won Janesville (Rock County), hometown of Speaker Ryan. hehe
Cruz didn’t win Wisconsin - It was given to him.
