Wisconsin’s top three Republicans are skipping Donald Trump’s visit to Green Bay. The billionaire GOP presidential nominee's trip to the Badger State is coming just days after he declined...

All 3 are jerks. The same group that dissed Sarah Palin at the republican dinner. I don’t see what good any of them could bring to the rally. Ryan has shown time and time again what kind of weasel he is. Hopefully we can retire him next week. Johnson was another one of those who rode the tea party patriot coattails to Washington. Like the others, he flipped the minute he got there. He is up against a tough fight with Russ Feingold. Yes...of McCain/Feingold fame. Hopefully McCain gets retired too. I am tired of morons selling us out by reaching across the isle. It will probably be the end of Johnson’s political career. And Walker is like a puppy dog begging for acceptance. Will follow Reince, Ryan, Koch Brothers etc. He’s not a leader - he is a follower. Don’t know why anyone would have ever thought he made good presidential material.
That is Wisconsin politics in a nutshell. Ripon Wisconsin, the birthplace of the republican party and the state of Wisconsin has a message for these losers....
We Want Our Party Back!!!!
and....the Wisconsin dem side of the equation is just as crazy. We have the illustrious Gwen Moore and Tammy Baldwin.
Please don’t lecture me I contribute to Trump, I support Trump, I will vote for Trump.
We are being done in by treason and it is very hard to overcome your own House Speaker attacking the nominee.
We can hope and work to defeat Ryan, I pray for it but seems unlikely.
Trump did little wrong, in my view nothing. Hillary did much worse to a Gold Star mom. But these GOP leaders WANT Hillary elected. They plan to bury conservatism.
So yeah, you better fight for a Trump victory.
Isn’t it obvious what an ambitious little POS Paul Ryan is? Remember how he said he didn’t want to be Speaker? This guy is a vile snake.
Not good for the gutless Wisconsin cowards.
We've know that for a year. The plan was to run Jeb. Nothing has changed except Trump has now energized a substantial part of the population against the old order, with the GOP being the old order. We are in the midst of a hostile taeover of the GOP, and hopefull a subtantial tipping off balance of the globalist agenda operation in the US.
The old order and globalist agenda are going to come back with a vengence. We just don't know if that will be this year (Trump loses in November), or after Trump has run his course.
I doubt he'd be very popular, that's true.
Let me correct my data on WI. The Reps have not won there since 1984 and Obama won in 2012, 53% to 46% against Romney/Ryan.
He won't do that. The Ryan/Nehlan fight is now in the people's hands. Trump has to ride whatever wave the people give him.
BS. WI has always been a long shot for Trump or any Rep. The last time WI voted for a Rep nominee was 1984.
Who started it? The GOPe wants Trump to lose. They are working against him.
More to the point, the current Republican congressman for that district is retiring. Of the two running in next week's Republican primary one will attend and the other won't. So we'll see if that impacts the outcome of the primary.
“Not good”
-—How is that not good? Have any of these people EVER attended a Trump event in WI?
Yep. And what did it say about their party that Donald Trump beat them all out.
Let’s face it, the GOP was dead in the water with or without Trump.
Let me just remind folks that Wisconsin is one of the states Trump is counting on winning.
And let me just remind you we have the huge liberal cesspools of Milwaukee, Madison. In addition, Wisconsin Republicans were firmly #nevertrump. Wisconsin talk radio is still luke warm Trump. Still talking about toning it down. I listened for an hour to local talk radio in north western Wisconsin about how terrible it was for Trump to kick a baby out of his rally. “tone down the rhetoric” “terrible” “he is going to alienate women voters” “when you combine this with what he did to the Khans...” It goes on and on.
If you were to pull up a map of the Wisconsin primary you would see that Trump won the majority of land mass. But the largely populated cities go dem. and wipe out all the small towns in between. Would love to see Wisconsin flip, but I don’t see it happening.
He won’t do that. The Ryan/Nehlan fight is now in the people’s hands. Trump has to ride whatever wave the people give him.
Ryan will likely win, unfortunately. We saw in the primaries that WI conservatives were sheep easily lead by local talk radio.
I’ll be curious to see if Paul Nehlen shows up at Trump’s rally in WI.
Ryan has an election coming up. His loss. I am hoping he will lose and that be a lesson
Trump has already provided us with a great service. He has flushed out the RINOs and let us see who they are. The Bushes, Kasich, Cruz, Ryan, McConnell, McCain, et. al. need to be banished from the party.
Trump should have picked Flynn rather than Pence, then he could have launched a full out war on both wings of the Establishment.
Yup.
Trump's already exposed the GOP as nothing but the JV Team of the Dem Party. That pretty much renders the Republican Congress as useless enablers of Dem policies and backstabbing traitors. IOW, stick a fork in them; They're dead, Jim.
We pretty much either have to vote out anyone reeking of GOPe or vote against them and FOR Democratic opponent.
If Trump isn't elected, a Scorched Earth policy against any and all RINO/GOPe candidates is the only policy until the McConnells and Ryans can be purged and sent packing to hell.
I think it's a close race, and since the primaries the people have the benefit of more experience with their favored candidate, Cruz. The Cruz experience also reflects on the judgment of Sykes and Belling.
Trump is trying to stand above the personal (to the extent that is credible, given his "I'm not there yet"), and is bringing an immigration and jobs message to Wisconsin. Whether the people associate that message with Ryan (who stands opposed to Trump on both of those issues) is up to them, not Trump.
