Cruz's complaint

Cruz complained that Trump received a lot of free publicity.  He claimed an amazing number, which I think may have been exaggerated.   It seems to me, though, that the publicity has gone negative, and it is favoring Cruz now.  For how long?

Do these Cruz supporters think that Cruz is going to be able to withstand the barrage that Trump has had to withstand?  Cruz will receive it, especially if he is perceived as the leader.  He may well be the first to admit it.  The front runner gets the heat.  On the other hand, it's the underdog who gets some sympathy and help, like Cruz got.  Especially if it all seems unfair, like Cruz's complaint seemed to indicate.  Now the ones that supposedly helped Trump are now the ones helping Cruz.  Trump says "unfair!", and he's right.  How long will Cruz enjoy the favor of those who are now helping him?

The outcome in Wisconsin bugs me.  Are people really that easy to manipulate?
