Ted Cruz won in Wisconsin on Tuesday because of a strong ground game that has been working feverishly on behalf of the Texas senator as in other winning states, political strategist Dick Morris told
Newsmax TV.
"Cruz is way more organized than [Donald] Trump or [John] Kasich — and he has operatives in each of those states pitching delegates to commit to Cruz and then getting the Cruz people to vote for those delegates when nobody else is turning their troops out," he told host Dennis Michael Lynch on "America Votes: 2016" in an interview.

"In South Carolina, he's going to lose it on the first ballot but he'll win it on the second," Morris said, referring to the delegate fight at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. "Ditto in Arizona. Ditto in several other states.
"Cruz is adopting a very profound second-ballot strategy — and I believe it's going to result if he doesn't totally wipe out in New York, which is a big if, in a Cruz second-ballot nomination."
