Will Wisconsin Be Trump's Waterloo?
RealClearPolitics ^ | April 3, 2016 | Salena Zito

What rich irony, if one of the most calculating politicians in modern American politics miscalculated the will of Wisconsin's Republican voters, something Democrats have done repeatedly since 2010.

If Donald Trump loses Wisconsin's primary on Tuesday, it will not be because of the uproar over his comments about Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi. Or his reaction to the confrontation with a female reporter that led to an arrest summons for his campaign manager. Or even his suggestion that women who get abortions should face “some form of punishment” if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Instead, it will be his misunderstanding of Badger State conservatives' deep relationship with their elected officials, one that does not take well to outsiders trying to divide them from the people they worked so hard to put and keep in office.

Trump ran into a buzz saw in Wisconsin last week when he went on the local talk-radio circuit, which is staunchly conservative and widely influences Republican voters — very different from national talk-show hosts who don't ask him tough questions and lean toward rabble-rousing rather than ideological discussions....

Selena may be a well regarded reporter but the inaccuracies in the second paragraph alone indicates she is not a very informed reporter or is a very biased reporter. I didn’t read any further since it would be a waste of my time.

>> She’s a very well regarded reporter <<

Indeed she is. I listen to her almost every Tuesday at 11:05 pm EDT on the John Bachelor Show (WABC New York, 770 on the AM band).

Also, unlike you and me, Selena must have better things to do than post here!

(Or maybe she just has better sense than us!)

Will Trump be able to keep his 12 delegates?


If Cruz keeps his hands out of the cookie jar. Cruz does like cookies. Perhaps too much so.

Cruz will win 30, Trump 12 in Wisconsin and life goes on. By New York Cruz will be mathematically eliminated..

Cruz will be mathematically eliminated when Trump gets 1237 delegates, and not before.

This is a wrap-up of the North Dakota delegate count. But to really understand the outcome you have to appreciate the degree to which the Trump campaign was rolled like a skid row wino. In a state where the Trump campaign had been hooting about their dominance, the Trump campaign seems to have come away without a single delegate.

Cruz Supporters: With respect to you, it's a valid charge - that if Cruz succeeds in getting the nomination, the only way that will have come about is that he has granted them (The union of the GOP and globalists (i.e. the dissolve-america-ists) interests) their will, and will continue to grant it.

No, not at all.

untrusTED is a PAC paid/owned, DC politician/career govt employee hack.

Trump has exposed another ugly underbelly....that a ND RNC operative, Curly Haugland, confirmed.....that our primary votes don’t matter. That the apparatus/GOPe choose the presidential candidate, not the voters.

Read all about this, here...
http://www.valleynewslive.com/home/headlines/ND-GOP-delegate-says-political-parties-choose-presidential-nominees-not-voters-372269161.html

Trump hasn’t riffed on anything. The only one who is - and has been - riffing...is cRuz....on Trump’s policies....like the wall, trade, etc.

Time for cheaTED to do the right thing, for once, and drop out, for the good of the party and the voters.

He’s only helping the vile GOPee....and himself (wonder what other kind of ‘painstakingly’ and ‘brilliant’ deal cRuz has made, for himself, to stay in as a splitter).

But, we know him now....and know he won’t do that.

Ok great but that’s not an argument it’s merely a denial.
