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....

Retarded question.
Was the ENTIRE SOUTH + Michigan and Ohio and Virginia, Cruz’s?
She can’t be very informed if she thinks Trump might not crack 50% in NY.
Trump is up 20 points since December in Wisconsin.

A Large Engagement that will prolong this War.
EVEN MORE RETARDED QUESTION: Is Don Trump at or over 1,237 delegates?
What was Cruz’s Waterloo?
That was the general election, this is a Republican primary. Not the same thing at all.
Salena is a FReeper, by-the-way.
Smart to stay apprised on her enemies.
Sounds to me like The Donald has a “woman” problem.
Wishful thinking.
Trump will survive — he has enough support that he most likely will get the required 1237 delegates going into the convention.
How is Trump going to lose the Linda McMahon, Peter Schiff, Lazio, Paladino, Chafee, Arnold, Christie, ODonnell, Castle, Pete Wilson voters, ...
How do you figure?
And could you find it within yourself to spell Senator Cruz’s name correctly and capitalize it, like you do for Mr. Trump? He is the representative of 28 million people and a leading candidate for the presidency.
Is Cruz at 1237 either? Why doesn’t the campaign continue since it ain’t over?
Scott Walker isn't the same popular Governor as he was in 2011. His endorsement and subsequent support of Cruz is both a non-factor and being a foot soldier for the GOPe at getting their brokered convention. Cruz is not part of this equation.
Polls showing Cruz ahead in WI aren't taking into account that WI is an open primary state and Trump will get crossover blue-collar and Democrat voters.
I don't give a feces if Salena is a FReeper. She's not in WI, she still doesn't understand that conservatives are royally pissed at the Republican Party for doing absolutely nothing since 2010. So Salena g'friend, refute my points instead of hiding behind RCP bloviating.
That is silly— I can tell you the results of Wisconsin primary right now— Cruz gets 30 delegates and Trump gets 12..
Will Trump be able to keep his 12 delegates?
