In this election cycle Donald Trump has grown unaccustomed to losing. Ted Cruz, but he also said the billionaire businessman would soon begin to deliver a series of “presidential, substantive” speeches on his policy priorities.
Meanwhile, KING 5 has learned State Senator Don Benton of Vancouver is working to help Donald Trump’s campaign efforts in Washington state, both in organizing and delegate selection.
Cruz’s gains in the polling mark the first time since November that one of Trump’s rivals has threatened his lead in support among Republicans in the race to be party nominee for the November 8 election.
After Wisconsin, the next major primary is April 19 in NY, where Cruz’s campaign has promised to compete vigorously despite Trump’s heavy home-field advantage.
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz had the Governor of Wisconsin, many conservative talk radio show hosts, and the entire party apparatus behind him”, the statement read. While on the one hand, Mr Kasich has won only one state so far – his own – he appears to do much better than either of the other candidates in notional match-ups against either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, one of whom will be the Democratic nominee.
Mr Cruz has been criticised for a comment he made in a debate in January, where he said: “Everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage”. But Mr Sanders still lags behind Mrs Clinton in the all-important delegate count. But the NBC News Exit Poll suggested that the state’s Republicans and Democrats feel quite differently about whether they want a true outsider as the nation’s next president. A CNN delegate estimate shows Trump leading Cruz 746 to 510, with 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright before the convention.
While New Yorkers won’t go to the polls for another two weeks, 74 percent said they had decided on their choice or were strongly leaning toward a candidate. The 18 statewide delegates for Cruz will be chosen at the state party convention next month.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders hopes to turn his recent winning streak into concrete momentum toward the party nomination.
