A top aide privately predicting to nbc news a doubledigit win. Going to win here in wisconsin will have a powerful effect nationwide continuing to unite republicans. A win for ted cruz tonight has more to do with trumps weaknesses and the terrible week hes had than it does with cruz really rising or shining in the spotlight. Reporter outside antitrump groups spending four times as much as the frontrunner as they try to make today a turning point helped by people like enrique, a peruvian immigrant who got his citizenship to vote for the first time today, voting against trump. I really feel that hes trying to divide people. Reporter if trump loses, maybe more pressure on what nbc news has learned is growing frustration and infighting in the campaign. For months the campaign motto, let trump be trump has worked well, but now some loyalists fear that strategy is haunting the campaign. Multiple sources on trumps team and close to the candidate now questioning how hes being advised warning hes too insulated by a handful of aides. Certain people dont want to lose power, one source said. That inner circle includes embattled Campaign Manager corey lewandowski. Campaign sources question whether he can stand up to trump, telling nbc news they think he lacks the authority to ensure his billionaire boss beefs up on policy. Among those angered by lewandowski, members of trumps family. Now with plans to pivot to more formal policy speeches, trumps dismissing talk of turmoil today. Were doing really well.
