		</div><p>Republican Donald Trump has emerged from the Wisconsin primaries as a damaged front-runner following a crushing primary loss to rival Ted Cruz, deepening questions about the billionaire businessman&#8217;s presidential qualifications and pushing the Republican Party toward a rare contested convention nomination fight.</p>
<p>Democrat Bernie Sanders also scored a sweeping victory on Tuesday giving him fresh incentive to keep challenging Hillary Clinton. But Mr Sanders still lags behind Mrs Clinton in the all-important delegate count.</p>
<p>Both parties now turn their sights toward New York, which offers a massive delegate prize in its April 19 contests. It marks a homecoming of sorts for several candidates, with Mr Trump, Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders all boasting roots in the state.</p>
<p>In the Republican primary system, candidates vie in each state to win delegates, who then vote for the nominee at party conventions over the summer. </p>
<p>If no candidate wins an outright majority in the first vote of the convention, most delegates are free to change their allegiance, so candidates would have to compete to win their support.</p>
<p>Mr Cruz has stepped forward as the candidate best positioned to block Mr Trump in the Republican race, though it would likely take a convention battle to accomplish that goal.</p>
<p>A Texas senator with a complicated relationship with Republican leaders, Mr Cruz cast his Wisconsin victory as a &#8220;turning point&#8221; in the race and urged the party to rally around his candidacy.</p>
<p>Even if Mr Cruz&#8217;s gains do force the Republican race into a contested convention in July, it is unclear whether he would emerge as the nominee, or whether the party would try to put forward someone else.</p>
<p>In the Republican race, Mr Cruz was poised to collect most of Wisconsin&#8217;s 42 Republican delegates.</p>
<p>In the Democratic race, Mr Sanders still trails Mrs Clinton in the pledged delegate count and has so far been unable to persuade super-delegates &#8211; the party officials who can back any candidate &#8211; to drop their allegiance to the former secretary of state and back his campaign.</p>
<p>At a raucous rally in Wyoming, Mr Sanders cast his victory as a sign of mounting momentum for his campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;With our victory tonight in Wisconsin, we have now won seven out of eight of the last caucuses and primaries,&#8221; he declared. Sanders is favoured to win Wyoming&#8217;s Democratic caucuses on Saturday, but it offers a small delegate prize.</p>
<p>Because Democrats award delegates proportionally, Mr Sanders&#8217;s victory in Wisconsin did not cut significantly into Mrs Clinton&#8217;s lead in the pledged delegate count.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders&#8217;s win will net him at least 47 delegates and Mrs Clinton will gain at least 36.</p>
<p>That means Mr Sanders must still win an unlikely 67% of the remaining delegates and uncommitted super-delegates in order to win the Democratic presidential nomination.</p>
<p>The state-by-state nominating contests are choosing delegates who will select the presidential nominees at the parties&#8217; national conventions in July.</p>
