Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a rally at the Milwaukee Theatre Monday, April 4, 2016, in Milwaukee. We have a choice. Cruz could win after the first ballot. Sanders won the Wisconsin primary decisively on Tuesday. None has so far endorsed Trump.

At a raucous rally in Wyoming, Sanders cast his victory as a sign of mounting momentum for his campaign. Cruz won 18 for his statewide victory and 18 more for winning six congressional districts. Both were areas where he was expected to do well heading into Tuesday.
The gains coincided with a bumpy patch for Trump, who was forced to backtrack last week after saying women who had abortions should face punishment if the procedure is outlawed, and who voiced support for his campaign manager after he was charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly grabbing a reporter.
In this election cycle Donald Trump has grown unaccustomed to losing.
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz and Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders have emerged victorious in the crucial Wisconsin presidential primary. Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet – he is a Torjan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.
Both parties are turning their sights toward NY, which offers a massive delegate prize in its April 19 contests. The call for Kasich to drop out has taken on a special urgency for Cruz, who trails Trump in the delegate count, but if you look at the numbers they simply wouldn’t add up for Cruz even if he were able to collect all of the delegates pledged to Kasich thus far.
Exit polls in the state underscored the concerns about Trump that are surging through some corners of the Republican Party.
Also, Cruz’s sweeping victory on Tuesday means an even more precarious path for Trump to garner 1,237 delegates before the party convention in July.
Cruz, on the other hand, denounced Trump for his “New York values” earlier in the primary season, and the Texas senator’s brand of fiery right-wing evangelicalism is unlikely to win many hearts in the Empire State.
About 40 minutes later, the reference to Sanders’ victory was removed altogether, and now contains no mention of the Democratic contest. Bernie Sanders would not vote for his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the general election if she became the party’s nominee.
Ted Cruz has to win on the stump, and if he doesn’t win on the stump, he doesn’t win on the floor in Cleveland. This is a major escalation in his attacks on the former Secretary of State in anticipation of the upcoming New York Democratic presidential primary.
