Cruz’s Wisconsin Win Leads To Total Trump Meltdown: Donald Accuses Ted Of Winning Illegally
Texas Senator Ted Cruz may have turned the race for the Republican nomination with his win in Wisconsin Tuesday night, taking more than 30 of the 42 delegates up for grab. Doing so leaves Donald Trump, the current Republican frontrunner, with very little room for error going forward if he wants to win the 1,237 necessary delegates to secure the nomination on the first ballot cast during the GOP convention. And although the GOP billionaire and real estate mogul did not make a direct television appearance after Cruz was declared the winner, Cruz’s Wisconsin win still led to a total Trump meltdown.
Hope Hicks, the Trump campaign spokesperson, released a statement after Cruz was declared the winner in Wisconsin. The Trump campaign accused Ted Cruz — or, as the campaign itself calls him, “Lyin’ Ted Cruz” — of illegally coordinating with a super PAC that supports his efforts, but made no effort to offer any evidence of any such illegal activity.
“Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet — he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump. We have total confidence that Mr. Trump will go on to win in New York, where he holds a substantial lead in all the polls, and beyond. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who can secure the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton, or whomever is the Democratic nominee, in order to Make America Great Again.”

“There is a growing consensus that Trump’s best chance to win the nomination may have come and gone,” said Saul Anuzis, who is the former Michigan GOP chairman and a Ted Cruz supporter. “The path for getting to 1,237 before the convention is very limited for everybody now.”
