In actual, non-tabloid news, Cruz is leading Trump by one in Wisconsin:
BOSTON, MA – As establishment Republicans look for ways to slow Donald Trump’s relentless march toward the party’s presidential nomination, Wisconsin’s winner-take-all GOP primary contest on April 5 offers some intriguing possibilities. In a statewide Emerson College poll released today, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is not only leading Trump 36% to 35% in the upcoming primary, but Cruz is only trailing Hillary Clinton by one point in a hypothetical general election matchup, 46% to 45%. In contrast, Trump is trailing both Clinton and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, by the same 9-point margin of 47% to 38% in a potential general election match-up.
Cruz also leads by 5 in a lightly regarded Free Beacon poll. With late deciders typically breaking for Cruz, Wisconsin could be a good pickup.
It’s looking like by July, Donald’s dumpster fire campaign is going to be so radioactive in the general that the GOP may actually have the stones to excise this cancer from their party — behind the scenes, Trump is losing delegates to Cruz even in he states he won:
According to the Wall Street Journal (hidden behind a paywall) Ted Cruz now has at least ten more delegates from Louisiana than does Trump.
…
This is what happens when you are out-thought, out-organized, and out-hustled. But it isn’t just Louisiana:In the state of Georgia, where Trump won decisively and was awarded 42 of the Peach State’s 76 delegates, has had a similar turn of events. One particular county, Coweta, heavily went Trump’s way by 12 percentage points, but Georgia Cruz campaign organizer Brant Frost told the WSJ that the senator’s supporters will compose 90 percent of Coweta’s delegates at state and district meetings. This group of delegates will be part of the larger pool of Georgia delegates that are chosen to go to Cleveland.
..
What is very clear is that if Donald Trump is not awarded the nomination on the first ballot, his bloc of delegates will melt away and his wins are not being capitalized upon because his campaign is essentially incompetent.
The ensuing Trumpertantrum will still hand the White House and Senate to Democrats, but they might hold on to the House.
Unfortunately for the GOP, Democrats are going to run the same ads linking swing-state Republicans to Trump’s toxic candidacy either way at this point, but kicking him out might at least persuade a few voters they have a modicum of principle remaining.

If Ted doesn’t get the Evangelical vote because he is a moral hypocrite he will be down 10 points maybe 20.
The news will be at every supermarket check out stand starting today.
I wouldn’t be so certain you know what is happening.
I have been up all night watching “conservative” sites. About 1/2 the comments are in disbelief and 1/2 are livid. Expect the disbelief to wane and livid to increase.
Expect Ted to be out of the race within two weeks.
My guess is that there may be other shoes waiting to drop. Like boyfriends. I have seen some pictures. Do a search.
Boyfriends would be personal poison for Ted. He may quit to avoid THAT embarrassment. Or he may need his nose rubbed in it.
Let me add that this has been trending on twitter since the end of Feb.
Commenters at Breitbart are livid that Breitbart didn’t break the story. There are indications that they were aware of it at least two weeks ago.
One reporter said, “I hate getting scooped.”
The wildcards are how many Cruz votes Kasich siphons off and the fact that Wisconsin is an open primary. Trump does well where independents and old-time Democrats can walk-in and vote for him.
Simon: Like I said, not paying attention to that nonsense. They said the same thing about Rubio, and Trump actually brags about his affairs.
Keep hoping, Dave. I’d vote for Cruz. I’d also vote for Trump.
I’d vote for Cthulhu if it was running against Hillary/Bernie.
The only principle Republicans have is selling out their voters.
Democrats have the same principle.
