Veteran political strategist Roger Stone warns GOP frontrunner Donald Trump will lose Wisconsin, but says the question remains whether or not Trump will walk away with any delegates before heading into the final stretch of primaries.
Stone joined Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Daily to point out that, even though Trump has been leading the pack for eight months, he has yet to seal up the GOP’s nomination and may only have a mere 100 days to take on the Clinton machine before November’s vote. Why didn’t Trump lock it down two months ago?
Stone says the nomination battle “was never going to end in March” and the Republican establishment “will never roll over.”
“And therefore you’re now shifting to a different phase in the campaign. You’re right. They need to do things differently,” Stone said.
They need to crack down and understand the process and have a strategy in each one of these individual states. They have brought on the best convention manager in the country, my ex-partner Paul Manafort. He’s enormously skilled and talented. They need to let him do what he does and I think they can get to their 1,237 number. And then they can go fight in rules and credentials, where they’re still going to try to steal it from him, in my opinion.Stone added that while he thinks Trump will lose Wisconsin, he can still win a majority of delegates in the 16 upcoming primaries.

Not that I put a great deal of stock in what Roger Stone has to say, but the majority of delegates in the 16 primaries following Wisconsin will not be enough, particularly if Trump loses tomorrow, as it appears he will.
Just heard that Lyin’ DONEald is telling the lemmings HE WILL WIN WISCONSIN.
Looks like Bernie is gonna win it.
THAT’S the real story.
On the day Trump is mathematically eliminated from getting to 1237, will we see a post from you demanding that he withdraw?
That will come well after the day Cruz is eliminated: April 24th.
NeverTrump media..... if that wasn’t so sad it might be funny.
The NeverTrump media has given Trump $2 Billion in free campaign air time. Better, NeverAnythingButTrump media.
Trumpspeak for anyone who doesn't follow Trump - A GOPe globalist, RINO, sellout, Open Border, Non-eligible to run, Did I already say GOPe? tool for the elite
Oh and they are also ugly and cheated on their spouses. And maybe a pedophile in some cases. Did I say Globalist?
If Trump gets slightly less than 1237 and Cruz gets say around 1000, Cruz can't make the argument that he should get the nomination because Trump didn't get 1237.
This is the RNC's plan to deny the nomination to both Cruz and Trump and then pick their own favorite...and it won't be Cruz.
This is from people like Larry Sabato...people who don't have a dog in this hunt.
April 26th.
When did I demand anyone withdraw? I simply said on the 26th Cruz is mathematically eliminated.... If you are going to try to accuse/imply someone of being hypocritical, better get your facts straight.
I don’t praise satan.
He’s just stating the obvious to try to get back some credibility.
Manafort is a master at this stuff
And you KNOW this by what means? Trump told you so?
Good post.
Google Paul Manafort and read for yourself. He is the recognized master at delegate count and convention strategy.
So you are comfortable with Trump working to bring as many delegates to the convention as possible, even if that number is below 1237?
Well see this is the problem. As Citizen Trump, he was under the impression that there were fair democratic elections in a state by state basis to choose the republican candidate.
It’s a little nauseating to see these snickering posts about Trump not understanding that the process and rules are mutable, but only by the secret society.
Lol, a majority is EXACTLY what he needs to win but probably won’t have.
But he will whine and cry if he if doesn’t have it and they won’t just go ahead and anoint him.
would the GOPe ever consider Kasich/Cruz? That might have a chance at beating her....maybe....(I support Trump btw)
Same thing at this point. The GOPe controls Cruz and his campaign.
