America’s eyes were on Wisconsin Tuesday evening as both political parties held primaries in the state, and the two underdog candidates – Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders – celebrated victories over their parties’ front-runners.
“What an incredible victory tonight,” Cruz said after his win. “And thank you to your tremendous governor, Gov. Scott walker, for his principled, passionate leadership.”
He said Wisconsin is a “turning pint,” “a rallying cry,” and Americans “have a choice, a real choice.”
“Three weeks ago, the media said Wisconsin was a perfect state for Donald Trump,” Cruz said. “So just how significant is tonight? Well just today, our campaign has raised over $2 million. … We’ve had over 1.3 million contributions.
“In the last two weeks, and in the coming days when Colorado and Wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on Donald Trump. … I’m more and more convinced that our campaign is going to win the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination. Either before Cleveland or at the convention in Cleveland, we will win a majority of the delegates. And together, we will beat Hillary Clinton in November.”
Cruz said, “Tonight was a bad night for Hillary Clinton. It was a bad night in the Democratic primary. And it was an even worse night for her in the Republican primary. We’re winning because we’re uniting the Republican Party.”
He continued, “Tonight, Wisconsin has lit a candle guiding the way forward. Tonight, we once again have hope for the future. Tonight is about unity. And tonight is about hope.”
Cruz promised to repeal Obamacare, stop federal regulations from killing small businesses, pass a flat tax, abolish the IRS, secure the U.S-Mexico border and end sanctuary cities. He also said Americans will “see a Supreme Court that protects their religious liberty” and Second Amendment rights.
He tweeted, “So Hillary, get ready – here we come!”
Wisconsin voters flocked to the polls, where workers reported long lines and larger-than-usual turnouts.
Before the polls closed, Trump told his supporters “[W]e’re going to have a very, very big victory. Very, very big.”
But it wasn’t meant to be, as Cruz enjoyed a healthy lead of 20 points with 42 percent reporting.
Cruz’s victory jeopardizes Trump’s path to 1,237 delegates before the Republican National Convention in July.

Cruz faces far more difficult contests ahead in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware in coming weeks.
“Just a couple of weeks ago, all of the media commentators were saying Wisconsin was a state that I could not compete and do well,” Cruz told supporters Monday. “They were saying it was a state that was a natural state for Donald Trump. The state historically has been purple or even a blue state at times. It’s a state that is very heavily based in manufacturing, that has a lot of union members and working-class members. Supposedly, it was Donald Trump’s sweet spot, and yet I think the people of Wisconsin, they’re looking at the records of the candidates, and they recognize that Donald screams and yells a lot, but he has no solutions.”

  • Six in 10 Wisconsin GOP voters oppose a contested convention.
  • Nearly four in 10 said they’re “scared” of what a President Trump might do while in office.
  • Six in 10 are “excited” or “optimistic” about a Cruz presidency.
  • Half said they want a president from “outside the political establishment.”
  • More than six in 10 favor a path to legal status for illegal immigrants.
  • More than four in 10 GOP voters say Cruz has that best shot at defeating Clinton. One-third said Trump has a better chance, and fewer than two in 10 favor Kasich for the job.
  • More than half of GOP voters believe Trump has run the most unfair campaign. One-quarter said the same of Cruz.
  • A full seven in 10 voters support proposals to temporarily ban non-U.S. Muslims from entering America.
Sanders told his supporters a Wisconsin win will give him momentum needed to take New York, a state Clinton represented in the Senate.
“[W]e are going to have a bounce going into New York State, where I think we can win,” Sanders told supporters in Janesville, Wisconsin. “If we win in New York state, between you and me – I don’t want to get Hillary Clinton any more nervous than she already is. She is already under a lot of pressure. So don’t tell her this, but we win here, we win in New York state. We are on our way to the White House.”

However Cruz married Heidi in 2001 and some of the numbers in the DC Madam's Black Book date back to the mid 1990s when he was working his way up in politics.

Trump has been married three times and cheated on his first wife Ivana while they were still married.
The DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, operated Pamela Martin and Associates and made $2 million servicing wealthy clients over more than a decade.
At the time of her arrest in 2006 her escorts had slept with officials in the White House, the Pentagon, lobbyists and high-powered lawyers.
Palfrey hanged herself in May 2008 before she could be sent to prison to serve a 55 year sentence.
Her Black Book has been circulating on the Internet for years but now RadarOnline claims that Cruz's number was among those listed.
The book contains numbers dating from 1995 to 2006 and it is not clear when Cruz is said to have been featured.
Cruz, 45, is originally from Houston, Texas and moved to Washington in the mid 1990s to clerk for two Supreme Court Justices.
He went on to work for a Washington law firm and then was an adviser to George W Bush's 2000 election campaign.
Cruz married Heidi in 2001. Some of the numbers in the DC Madam's Black Book date back to the mid 1990s when he was working his way up in Republican politics

Between 2003 and 2008 Cruz served as the Solicitor General of Texas before sweeping into the Senate on the Tea Party wave in 2012.
The Black Book has resurfaced because of Montgomery Blair Sibley, a former lawyer for Palfrey, who is trying to lift a gag order preventing him from releasing the phone records, over which he has custody.
He wants to make them public because he says their contents will have a bearing on the Presidential election because they have a candidate's number in them.
RadarOnline reported that the mystery man 'has to be Cruz'.
While Cruz told Fox that he has never cheated on his wife, he was not able to give such a clear answer when asked by Daily Mail Online a week ago.
Asked directly to 'tell us on the record that you've never been unfaithful to your wife?' Cruz dodged the question and attacked Trump.
Cruz said the story was 'total lies' and was 'planted by Donald Trump's henchmen'. Carly Fiorina, the failed presidential candidate who is endorsing also intervened to answer.

The claims about him cheating with five women started a witch hunt and a backlash which suggested that Trump was behind the story.
In a bizarre scene, Amanda Carpenter, a female CNN contributor had to deny she had slept with Cruz - live on air.
Carpenter said it was 'tabloid trash' and that Trump's campaign should be 'ashamed for spreading this kind of smut'.
Rumors have been circulating on the Internet for week with #crusexscandal circulating on Twitter before the Enquirer ran its two page story.
It alleged that Cruz had sex with a Republican political consultant for the party at one of the party's state events.
Another of the women was supposedly a Washington lawyer and a third was a woman who worked on one of his campaigns.
The fourth woman was said to be a schoolteacher in Austin, Texas, who had a fling with Cruz after he was appointed Texas Solicitor General in 2003.
Few details of the prostitute were revealed beyond her nightly fee.

How it began: A National Enquirer story started a guessing game in Washington circles - with a Republican strategist today providing two possible answers to who the women were. Both denied the claims
Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson pushed back on allegations - that started with a National Enquirer story - that she had an affair and 'came on' to Sen. Ted Cruz

In its story Enquirer ran a pixelated row of photos of the women which were quickly identified by blogs and websites.
Among them was Katrina Pierson who is currently a spokesman for the Trump's campaign.
She Tweeted: 'Of course the National Enquirer story is 100% FALSE!!! I only speak to myself, however.'.
The story ran after Cruz and Trump were already engaged in open warfare; the Texan called the real estate mogul a 'snivelling coward' for launching bitter personal attacks on his wife.
In an angry speech Cruz told the real estate mogul to 'leave Heidi the hell alone'.
Cruz was responding to a Twitter post by Trump which showed an unflattering picture of Mrs Cruz next to a glamorous shot of his wife Melania.
The caption read: 'A picture is worth a thousand words.'
