How big is the market?

Is Sykes morning and what time is Belling? Are they are the same station?

How big are the national radio hosts in that market?

Levin & Hannity have been loving Cruz & Rubiofor a long time but New York GOP hates them especially upstate, Rockaways, Long Island, Middle Murica type places.

[Democrats hate too much]

Did ‘Our Principles PAC’ buy every local talk show host like it did to Eric Erickson? ...This isnt new, Ohio I heard also got the local talk show hosts against Trump.

Sounds like Sykes was the only rude and disrespectful one in the interview of DT today.

I’m IBEW for Trump, and most in our unit are for Trump.

Wisconsin is one of the most liberal states in the union and always has been.

Paul Ryan us current example

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mark Belling, one of their local hosts sometimes sits in for Rush. He is a Cheap Labor Express mouthpiece.

Here’s today’s interview by Vicki McKenna who is not a Trump fan, but does an objective job:

they are not buying the vulgar buffoonery that Trump is selling.

Nope. No bias there.

So why is Walker polling in the mid 30’s right now?

My brother in law who lives in Hudson WI, just across the river from MN is predicting a Trump win, as he has big union member, blue collar dem support, and Wisconsin is an open primary.

I think that is where the polling goes haywire in WI, they are polling republicans only for the republican primary, when they should be looking at the dem and independent voters as well.

[ozzymandus]

Yeah, sure. Local talk show hosts rule the world.

[Secret Agent Man]

Belling is the only true conservative worth listening to out of the whole listed bunch.

[Robert DeLong]

If conservative radio ruled the day then we would never have another Presidency, House or Senate (state or Federal) controlled by a Democrat.

Syke's article is ironic. It actually highlights how Republicans in power aren't controlling the narrative and pushing the conservative agenda.

Walker has done the obligatory Republican things: Concealed-carry, cut taxes, reduced some bureaucracies and regulations, etc.

But what did Walker do when SCOTUS overruled WI's constitutional amendment upholding marriage? He folded like a suit from Goodwill. He could have pulled a Yeltsin and stood up to the Feds, but didn't.

Look what Deal just did in GA. Folded over religious liberty. Look what Snyder did in MI, folded and took the blame for the Flint water crisis. Kasich in OH over expanding Obamacare. Haley in SC over the Confederate flag. The IL Governor folding over the budget deficit.

That's what Sykes is missing. He is missing the full-throated leadership that Trump is bringing to the plate and the supporters who are following him in droves. Sykes is judging Trump in the pretext and prism of general, check-list establishment Republicanism. These Republicans hold the Governorships, the legislatures, and the state Supremes; yet they are not doing jack crap with their power. There's still no pushback on the leftist agenda. None of these Governors are telling Michelle Obama to pound sand on her school lunch program, or on OSHA or the EPA regulations, for example.

I live in Phoenix and the local AM talk radio station is KFYI and it has been 24x7 anti trump for nearly 5 months. The morning host Mike Broomhead has gone over the edge anti-Trump. Broomhead is a big fans of Sen. McLame so he is totally establishment. If Trump wins KFYI is going to be forced to let him go because his head will pop like a rotten pumpkin getting ripped apart by an M-80 firecracker.

I wish the talk show hosts would get Trump to debate Ted Cruz.

Trump is very much afraid to debate Cruz, one on one.

RE:”Voters here are well positioned to do exactly that. They are savvy, well-informed, and deeply engaged. And they are not buying the vulgar buffoonery that Trump is selling”

That's stating it mildly. He is alienating a huge number of voters even within the GOP

At some point if Trump won the nomination the posts would/will shift from ‘Trump will win a 50 state landslide with all those crossover voters’ to the desperate ‘WE must all support and vote for Trump to stop Hillary’.

Of course many supporting Trump also say that they may not even vote if Trump doesn't get it, in that case they don't see a Hillary POTUS as a problem.
