Wisconsin, the USA state famous for its cheese making, put a wall of hard cheddar in Donald Trump’s path to the Republican presidential nomination, but still left Hillary Clinton with a smoother float to the Democratic top. But neither Kasich nor his aides have provided any real details yet of how they would executive such a strategy, which many Republicans have derided as unrealistic.

Intense lobbying to sway delegates to another candidate if Trump doesn’t win initially has been taking place in SC which begins selecting national delegates this weekend.
Pennsylvania Republican Robert Paradis plans to vote for Trump in his state’s primary this month. “He’s a right-winged bigot and he’s not welcomed here”, said protester Rebel Diaz (no relation to the senator).
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 Nov. 8 election.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of SC, who has made a half-hearted endorsement of Cruz, predicted that more establishment support would swing behind the Cruz. “Do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on NY values like we’re no good?”
For that, Politifact rating Donald Trump’s claim as FALSE.
It is not a Virginia-only phenomenon.
If a candidate wins a majority of the vote in a district, he wins all three of the delegates, with a 20 percent vote threshold to win any delegates if no candidate wins a majority.
While GOP voters view both Trump and Cruz positively, both are seen highly unfavorably among the state’s overall electorate, according to the poll.
“Republicans win when people are demoralised”.
Cruz press secretary Catherine Frazier told NPR she believes NY conservatives “know exactly what Ted Cruz was talking about”. Under this calculation, Trump’s Republican haul would be down to 27 million (41.4 million times 0.92 times 0.72). “It is grueling and I think everyone is getting exhausted”. In Virginia, many Republican House members would not survive, given the lack of GOP turnout.
Of Trump and Schwarzenegger supporters, he said, “It’s by and large the same people”. Some might survive but, he says, “It would take a serious effort to get every ship safely back into port in the midst of an epic storm”.
Republican presidential candidate Sen.
Democrats should rest easy.
“If you look at all of the demographic subgroups that we can show, which one has the highest correlation with support for Trump or Cruz?”.

Similar proportionality rules hold for remaining statewide delegates, meaning Mr. Cruz and Mr. Kasich will likely be hoping to pick off delegates where they can and hold Mr. Trump to under 50 percent of the vote wherever possible to head off the winner-take-all triggers.
