Subject:  wanna-contraction and that-t

I would be interested in hearing from native speakers of
English whose dialects/idiolects are exceptional in
allowing "wanna-contraction" across a trace or that-t
sequences, as in (1) and (2), regarding whether you are
exceptional with respect to the other phenomenon as well.

(1)  Who do you wanna win?     ("Who do you want t to win?")
(2)  Who do you think that won?  ("Who do you think t won?")

Potential responses will thus fall into one of the
following three categories:

(A)  Allow (1) (wanna-contraction) but not (2) (that-t)
(B)  Allow (2) (that-t) but not (1) (wanna-contraction)
(C)  Allow both (1) and (2)

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Colleagues,

Can anyone direct me to any  searchable electronic source for
English-French parallel texts of narrative fiction? (I have already made
use of the "Hansard" corpus at the University of Montreal containing
parliamentary debates.)

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
