Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz was greeted with a standing ovation at a Milwaukee County GOP event Saturday and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was standing in for front-runner Donald Trump, was met with steely silence three days ahead of the state's crucial primary vote.
The Milwaukee County Republican Party Fish Fry proved fertile campaign ground for Cruz, who has become the vehicle for many establishment figures in their quest to deny Trump the party's nomination. Cruz used the event to make his first appearance with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, whose endorsement he earned earlier this week.

Nice to hear from the GOPe hack wing of the Republican Party.
Ok, that post made no sense, sober up and try again.
That can actually be Kasich if the Cuban Mistress Crisis kicks in
Yeah I agree to an extent. Plus her husband Todd has a accident and Bristol has a second child. But now the very people cheering her just three years ago are fuming because she opposes Cruz. They discarded Palin for not supporting him much like me discarding Megyn Kelly because she has gone overboard in Trump attacks with the same anti Trump guests night after night.
Spellcheck combined with astigmatism. And my voice might not please either. But I won’t stop posting.
I KNOW you're full of crap.
A Lot of people are going to thrive or dive hitching their cabooses to him.
Sessions, Clint, Nugent, Ditka and a lot more.
Will be celebrating or apologizing.
UPI? lol
They haven’t been relevant for 30 years.
You’re desperate for anything that makes the Cuban-Canadian candidate look better than the patriot billionaire.
Yes, she does. Her tone at this gathering was far different than that in addressing a rally. I watched her performance here. It was serious and the audience sat and listened intently. She was given a standing ovation at the end. Her speaking ability isn't the problem. The problem is the listening capabilities of some people who get so hung up on style they miss the substance.
It’s like clockwork, the sCruz folks on the day before a Primary or Caucus.
All mouth, and no common sense.
This was a GOPe event, and they are just thrilled Ted got a lot of applause and Sarah’s was more subdued.
Think about that. They are thrilled to be aligned with the GOPe.
Sarah would was the biggest hero to the nation when she backed John McCain for re-election, is now considered a has-been because she endorsed Trump.
If she endorsed the GOPe go-to boy Ted, she would still be their big hero.
Honest to goodness, they can’t even see it.
Sad.
“Hard to believe Palin was met with silence anywhere.”
With her sometime ‘screetchy’ voice, I can see why.
Palin gets cheers from the people, but not from the Republican Establishment, who hate her. This was an event for Establishment members.
It tells us all we need to know about Cruz.
What part of “16 minutes of silence” is difficult for you to interpret?
I saw this speech. It looked like there was a lot of GOPe in the room, and she was making them mighty uncomfortable indeed!
the part where some snarky @#$@#$ on FR sends me that message.
* I know he is an American.
* I know he is pushing issues I care about better than the fools that sling around how more conservative they are than everyone else, yet have done jack but talk.
* know both the left, professional complaining right, the media, and the Gope hate him.
* I know that a lot of AMERICANS have wanted someone to speak up for them, and see the effort being made to shut it all down.
So thanks. But I’m going with the guy that fights, not the priss that just wants to talk about how conservative they are....as if that means jack.
It’s not what $arah knows about Cruz, its what $arah knows about Trump - i.e. his connections in the reality TV biz. Soon after her endorsement, news came out that Sarah is being looked at for a Judge Judy-style TV court show.
He's a marvel. He can't be stopped.
