Cruzs Path to Victory After Wisconsin

crz The Wisconsin Republican presidential primary takes place today and it is looking like Ted Cruz will come in first. He is leading in all the polls there although the lead is narrow averaging 6.5 points ahead of Trump. John Kasich the only other Republican candidate left in the race is far behind both. If Cruz wins the state it will give him more momentum and increase the likelihood of him winning upcoming primaries although its too late at this point for him to acquire the 1237 delegates to ensure a primary win. Trumps vast lead has greatly shrunk since the other candidates started dropping out of the race. Trump claims that if Kasich were not in the race he would win. However the type of Republican who supports Kasich tends to be more moderate not the vocal anti-establishment type that supports Trump. Also polls between just Cruz and Trump have consistently shown Cruz ahead of Trump; the only reason Trump is still ahead is because Kasich is still in the race. Many conservatives who support Cruz are furious about that and have called for Kasich to drop out. Rich Lowry the editor of National Review said he is running a delusional vanity project masquerading as a presidential campaign." Trumps lead nationally has shrunk to an average of 7.6 points in the polls. Last week was bad for him; his campaign manager was charged with allegedly assaulted a female reporter he retweeted attacks on Cruzs wife and flip-flopped on abortion saying hes pro-choice while simultaneously saying women should be criminally punished for getting abortions. He is polling terribly with Republican women. Read the rest of the article at The Stream
