'I'm going to get the biggest votes. I mean check marks! So huge you're going to need two ballots just to fit it on there. Tremendous. Huge check marks.'

Donald Trump has been hilariously lampooned on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert for an
inability to count ahead of the Wisconsin primaries.
The
talk show host interviewed his 'Cartoon Donald Trump' for the second
time on his show last night, reminding him he was trailing Cruz in polls
for the Wisconsin ballot.
The mockery of Trump centered around the candidate's decision to tweet polling figures on April 1 showing he had 37 percent support in the state.
But
in small print below the figure, the data clearly showed - by Trump's
own admission - rival Ted Cruz was ahead of him on 38 percent.
Stephen Colbert interviews - for the second time - 'Cartoon Donald Trump' on last night's late show
Colbert's mockery was based on this
tweet by Trump which thanked Wisconsin for his 37 percent rating, while
also noting Cruz was beating him on 38 percent (circled by

'That's what they say about Trump,' Colbert said. 'Love him or hate him, statistically you probably hate him.'
He
then quipped: 'If Trump makes it to the general election, he will have
the highest unfavorables of any major party nominee since the 1836 Whig
candidate, Senator Gonorrhea T. Rickets.'
Introducing Cartoon Trump, he then asked him about the Wisconsin polling numbers which showed Cruz had higher support.
In a
satire of Donald Trump's policy flip-flops and mistruths, Cartoon Trump
then replied: 'I disagree, look at the numbers Stephen, mine are
clearly bigger, they're huge.
'My
numbers could crush Ted Cruz's numbers in a pay-per-view night at my
Las Vegas hotel. 'The best buffet, so much shrimp you'd think you'd died
and they'd dumped your body in the ocean.'
Upon
further questioning about his ability to understand how numbers work,
Cartoon Trump then warned that Wisconsinites could be punished for not
voting for him.
'I'm
going to get the biggest votes. I mean check marks! So huge you're
going to need two ballots just to fit it on there. Tremendous. Huge
check marks.'
The
gag came as Cruz presented himself as a uniter for Republican voters
despite a Senate tenure marked by bitter feuds and uncompromising
stances.
Cruz,
a first-term U.S. senator from Texas, is trying to make the case he is
the last remaining Republican candidate not named Trump with a pathway
to the party's presidential nomination.
He
has also moved to position himself as the best choice left for
Republicans who cannot bring themselves to vote for the New York
billionaire.
Recent
opinion polls show he has opened up a lead on front-runner Trump, with a
third candidate, Ohio Governor John Kasich, running third.
'The
entire country is looking to Wisconsin,' Cruz said yesterday. 'What we
are seeing in Wisconsin is the unity of the Republican Party
manifested.'
