Trump Facing Inconvenient Defeat in Wisconsin

He's already cheesed-off 70% of all cheese-heads

As the latest polling in Wisconsin betrays Trump's widespread unpopularity there, his larger nationwide problem is that women specifically are beginning to coalesce into an anti-Trump alliance...
and that most certainly includes the badger state. 

It's no secret that female voters were having a hard time getting into the Trump thing, but his recent repellant behavior and attitude re. Heidi Cruz and Michelle Fields is making the choice a lot easier for them. I mean, when you lose rabid supporter Ann Coulter perhaps you've taken your (pointless, completely unnecessary, and damaging to the GOP) war-on-women too far.

Has it occurred to Mr Trump's supporters yet that offending a large majority of American women -when you intend to go-up against Hillary in the fall- is about the stupidest thing he could possibly do?
Trump could have done less damage eating a live kitten on stage.

I for one anxiously await the next round of polling re. hypothetical Trump vs Hillary matchup- he was already weak there before his latest misguided displays of misogyny.

The answer for the GOP? Dump Trump and nominate Ted Cruz -perhaps with staunchly pro-life Carly Fiorina in the VP slot- to take on and destroy Hillary. Polling has long supported the idea that Cruz vs Clinton works better than it would with Trump, and that's not likely to change now.

If Wisconsin goes the way I think it's going to, Trump's sputtering campaign is entirely unlikely to reach 1237 delegates prior to Cleveland. And The Donald mostly trades on an air of inevitability (was never true, but the co-opted 'conservative' media is certainly still pushing that faded narrative), so just watch and see how he does once Ted Cruz exposes Trump's true electoral mediocrity.

With California fully in-play, Ted Cruz reaching 1237 prior to the convention is not out of the realm of possibility for him- but he's a lot more likely to beat Trump on the 2nd or 3rd ballot there. 

On the other (tiny) hand, Trump's probably going to arrive in need of delegates, and will in my opinion have a hard time finding new friends- 
rather, he's made an awful lot of enemies.

Let see, GOPe Ted is backed by Mitt Romney, the Bushes, Golden Sachs, the Club for Growth and Paul Ryan. His wife helped write the CFR plan to turn the USA into part of the North American Union. I don't think you can get more uniparty establishment then Canadian Ted.

If we do not secure our borders and deport those here illegally we will not have a country. It is really that simple. Vote for Trump or hand the country over to the anti-American globalists that wish to create a socialist utopia. Your choice.

BTW a socialist utopia is only a utopia the 1%, the rest of us are peasants. Just image North America as one big Mexico.

I dont need meds.

But I should buy stock in them for when the Gope yanks the rug out from underneath Cruz and his sycophants.

Dozens??????

The Marquette poll is only Republican likely voters.

Wisconsin is an “Open” primary state - which means that Democrats and independents can vote in the Republican primary. Trump has lots of Blue Collar Democrat Union supporters and independents and Wisconsin has many union workers.

Cruz may be ahead of Trump, but it is a lot closer than the 10 point spread this poll suggests.

A more accurate poll would be of everyone who is likely to vote in the Republican presidential primary, not just Republicans!!!

Reaganite Republican, now posting vanities without even labeling them as such.

Truly gone off the deep end!

Dozens??????

I lost count. What's your estimate?

[catfish1957]

Oh, and speaking of which, the NE comes out today. They don’t seem to be backing off.

Will that headline be before or after Hilary's Alien Baby?

[CASchack]

Ted Cruz will never be President, yet the Cruzbots have deluded themselves into thinking that he has a shot.

[CommieCutter]

I would laugh too. Cruz is not getting my vote even if the Romney replacement plan failed.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Rafael Cruz is being used by the Republican establishment to stop Trump.

Once the establishment's objectives are met, he will be cast aside.

If Rafael somehow is awarded the nomination, he will be destroyed by Hillary and Obama over his eligibility, and simultaneously double-crossed by the very Republican establishment that is now using him like Kleenex.

As for the polling in WI, it's very specious and relies on small samples of unlikely voters.

Trump also forced Cruz to defend abortion, and by attacking Walker he is going to get crossover Dem and Bernie Sander voters.

Walker is not the same as he was in 2011 and his endorsement is a non-factor in this primary.

Al the propaganda in the world can’t overcome the mathematics of the situation

Delegates
1237 needed for nomination
943 still available

Trump
736 won
501 needed (53% of remaining delegates)

Cruz
463 won
774 needed (82% of remaining delegates)

The alternative and if all else fails the GOP will help hillary defeat Trump. This is what we have now in full color for all to see, thier criminal empire will be destroyed if Trump wins. And we thought we were fighting the rats only

[Byron_the_Aussie]

.. my concern is what the party will do ..

Relax, Baccy. All that concern is affecting your complexion:

[Mark was here]

The wife about as conservative woman as you can find. As far as Trump goes, all she says if the Republicans keep him off the ballot, she will right him in. None of this junk about Women's issues, there are only Americas issues.

[CommieCutter]

And the best part is if she wins, we can thank Cruz, Pro-Life Groups, and half of Talk Radio for piling on, helping make her presidency possible. I expected these attacks from the MSM but these other groups are dead to me.

[trebb]

Which poll? Some with as little as 471 showed Cruz ahead but the one with the most respondents (6000) and the smallest error percentage showed Trump a few points ahead.

IOW, to maintain credibility, one must actually use the available facts instead of propagandizing their inputs by omitting some salient datum.

Just like the "women dislike Trump" polls also ignore that along with having the highest rate of dislike, he also enjoys the highest rate of "would be willing to support/vote for him".

Has FR become some "pundit's" latest Forum for disseminating false memes in the hope of attaining a lost cause by elevating Cruz, despite his lapses from "rock-solid-conservatism" and even pandering to the pro-abortion crowd to try to leverage a sane statement by Trump (if one believes abortion is murder)?

Funny how like Cruz many here have become by practicing what they have decried for so long - sad, actually...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

He's a man of principle

Who sided with Soros-funded leftist agitators over the rule of law and the 1st Amendment rights of a fellow candidate back on Fri 03/11.

Who has his records sealed that shows his Mother held Canadian-citizenship at the time of his birth.

A Christian fake who cheated on his wife.

You nailed it. Republicans and Dems are just a little Punch and Judy show put on for public consumption. The same globalist control both puppets.

Repeating the same tired old lies endlessly does not make them any the less lies. Boring, too.
