Wisconsin will probably be Ted Cruz's last win for a while.

Upcoming states:

Apr 19
New York · 95 delegates (RCP Average, Trump +31)

Apr 26
Connecticut · 28 delegates (Trump +18, old polls though)
Delaware · 16 delegates (no polls)
Maryland · 38 delegates (Trump +13, polls a few months old)
Pennsylvania · 17 delegates (RCP Average, Trump +13.4
Rhode Island · 19 delegates (no polls)

So far, Ted Cruz has only won: (1) states adjacent to the great plains; (2) Midwestern states which are NOT in the rust belt; (3) Texas, his home state.

Lyin' Ted has a month to try and steal a win someplace. Trump's lead in Pennsylvania has shrunk somewhat, so maybe there. I don't see Trump losing New York. If New Hampshire is any indication, Trump is going to dominate Connecticut.

On top of that, look what it took for Cruz to win in Wisconsin. Multiple Trump gaffes about punishing women for abortion, a battery charge against his campaign manager, talking about nuking countries, calling out Heidi Cruz. Every talk-radio host in Wisconsin was against Trump, which is not the media climate on other states. Gov. Scott Walker campaigned with Cruz, and he's still got some popularity in Wisconsin. Literally everything had to go wrong for Trump and right for Cruz to produce this result. Trump needs to keep beating himself for Cruz to have any chance.

Nah, he won't win New York, be I don't see how he could get the momentum back to finish Ted off without a sex scandal. The bar is raised too high now, with over promising and titillation, and Trump has temporarily peaked. He makes very expensive mistakes for this refusal to prepare and simply wing it and bully.

Trump's continued success relies too much on the pattern of his prior success, and that's his voters being completely locked in, because there's not other viable candidate, and they have very short memories.

I think educated people see Cruz for the religious lunatic that he is. It's not going to help him out here.


:manny:

Religion is the least of his lunatic beliefs. Dude is a hard right winger down the board.

IMO he's more dangerous than Trump. He actually believes his bs. Trump is just a ego maniac.

I agree with you. I think the religious right is more apt to gravitate towards Cruz that's why he's done well in the states he has.

I took as they're just starting to come to their senses that while, Trumps antics make for great entertainment; he is no way electable, professional, or even remotely respectable.

At the end of the day, most people don't we follow politics on daily basis, like much of HL, so Trump's name recognition will go a long way despite be unelectable.

24 hours new is going to kill Trump in the general he's unpalatable to women, minorities, educated people and anyone who is remotely self aware.

Trump is a well known scumbag and will galvanize the left
