Ted Cruz Hits Donald Trump’s Business Record on Mogul’s Home Turf

Following his win in Wisconsin Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz moved his campaigning to Donald Trump’s home state, New York, and seems ready to pounce on the real estate mogul’s business record in the Empire State.
In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Cruz depicted his Wisconsin victory as a turning point that gives him momentum in states to come. New York is the next state up in the ongoing hunt to reach 1,237 delegates and secure the GOP nomination. “The victory in Wisconsin was across the board,” Cruz said. It was a 13-point victory and you know, three weeks ago, we were behind by 10 points in Wisconsin.” Stephanopoulos caught up with Cruz at Sabrosura 2, a restaurant in the Bronx, where Cruz was meeting with Hispanic and African-American pastors and faith leaders. As the race pivots to New York, Trump’s home turf, Cruz is not backing down from controversial remarks he has made about “New York values.” In January, Cruz first used the term New York values as a way to lob an insult at Trump. Cruz attempted to clarify his definition of the term. Let me be very clear. The people that I was talking about are the liberal New York Democrats who have hammered this state. It is people like Mayor Bill de Blasio. It is people like Governor Cuomo,” Cruz told Stephanopoulos. Cruz argued that the Hispanic and African-American pastors with whom was meeting agreed with his statements about New York values.

Trump sparks more excitement, fear, than rivals

A potential Donald Trump presidency inspires more excitement among Wisconsin's GOP primary voters than the other two remaining candidates — but also more fear.About a quarter say they're excited about Trump, while less than 15 percent say that of either of his rivals. At the same time, nearly 4 in 10 say they're scared about what Trump would do as president, while only about 1 in 10 say that about either Cruz or Kasich, according to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research.
In the case of a brokered convention, nearly 6 in 10 Republicans say the party should nominate the candidate with the most support in the primaries, while just 4 in 10 say it should nominate the candidate the delegates think would make the best nominee.

Democratic voters in Wisconsin are divided on the effect of trade on unemployment, an issue that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has played up in a flood of television ads over the past few weeks.About 45 percent of Democratic voters say trade with other countries takes away jobs in this country, while nearly 4 in 10 see trade as beneficial, according to early results of exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. Only about 10 percent see trade as having no effect on job in the United States.The polls indicate a mixed response on an issue that Sanders has put at the center of some of his most-aired television ads.Over the past month, Sanders has poured about $2.4 million into radio and television ads in Wisconsin and one of his top aired ads has tucked in several subtle jabs at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's record on trade, according to data from political
