Ted Cruz Wins Wisconsin Republican Presidential Primary
Source: Huffington Post
Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz prevailed in Tuesday night’s GOP presidential primary in Wisconsin, notching his biggest victory over real estate mogul Donald Trump since the Iowa caucuses.
Cruz’s showing in the Badger State is welcome news to establishment forces who have rallied behind the Texas conservative in an attempt to deny the controversial front-runner the necessary delegates to assume the party’s nomination. Trump’s inability to expand his delegate lead in Wisconsin also increases the chances of a contested convention later this summer in Cleveland.
Cruz led in eight of the last 10 polls of the Wisconsin GOP primary electorate. A Fox News poll last week showed him leading Trump by 10 percentage points. A smaller-sample poll released by ARG on Monday, however, found Cruz trailing Trump by the same margin. Cruz narrowly edged out Trump in the HuffPost Pollster average, which averages all publicly available polling data, as Wisconsinites headed to vote on Tuesday.
Cruz got a huge lift last week with the endorsement of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a popular figure in the state who ran for president before dropping out in September. The senator also enjoyed the backing of the state’s evangelical leaders, a group that helped push him to victory in Iowa, as well as influential talk radio hosts who eviscerated Trump in days leading up to the primary.
