Ryno got heckled off the stage in WI the other day by furious Trump supporters. If he loses their votes which may be likely he could easily lose to the Dem in Nov. I am rooting for the Democrat. Ryno is gone and it does not affect our GOP majority.
Look, Trump is not well-liked in Wisconsin. Ryan is loved - not just liked - in Wisconsin.
Right or wrong, Wisconsin voters have always viewed Trump as an odious, loud, boorish, slimy snake-oil salesman from New York City offensive to Wisconsin's honest, Midwestern sensibilities. Ryan is viewed as a virtuous, hard-working local boy who has over-achieved to reach a position of honor.
Ryan will win his race with nearly 60% of the vote in the general. Trump will likely lose Wisconsin 49-42.
Trump had been building momentum and it was hoped that a unifying rally with Ryan & Gov. Scott Walker last Saturday would push Trump into the lead. But Friday's planned leak harmed Trump in Wisconsin far more significantly than anywhere else in the country. It turned the anticipated Saturday positive local news stories into multiple negative local news stories with all of the local TV news reporters filming live reports direct from the rally Trump wasn't at every 20 minutes.
And Trump's strong debate performance on Sunday was not seen in Wisconsin. The Packers were on Sunday Night Football. So, there will be no Trump debate bounce back here.
I will vote for Trump. And I do hope he wins in the general, but please don't delude yourself with fantasies of Trump crushing all of his conservative and GOPe foes. Not gonna happen.
