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....

Waterloo had a victor, too.
The Duke of Wellington was probably rather pleased with the battle.
if polls were accurate
“PRESIDENT DEWEY” would have held office
the eleciton business is a lucrative field
super PACs call the shots
that is what makes TRUMP attractive
that and the MIDDLE FINGER TO THE ESTABLISHMENT DEMS AND REPUBS ALIKE
they have placed the country in exonomic slide
TRUMP WILL CALL THEM OUT EVERY DAY HE IS IN OFFICE
THE PEOPLE WILL HEAR THE TRIUTH FOR A CHANGE
THE UNIPARTY IS AFRAID.....VERY VERY AFRAID
I see you and your brother are hitting hard this weekend. Strange you two just can’t seem to post anything positive and uplifting about Mr. Haney.
You two exemplify the desperation of the Cruz campaign.
Current Delegate Count:
Donald Trump - 736
Ted Cruz - 463
Have a nice evening! :-D
Yea— I don’t see that as working this election cycle though— I think the internet and the ability to get information outside of the MSM has changed things and people are not as easily frightened and see the truth better— But I am an optimist maybe...
Scott Walker isn’t the same popular Governor as he was in 2011
Boy, you can say that again. As I said before, I worked his county executive and governor campaigns. My daughter is friend with his sons so I try not to bash him too much. He seemed to have such a promising career. I honestly cant say when or why he sold out.
Please... In the long run are there even enough 'republican' voters in WI to carry the state in November?
Of course I understand. The point is Romney and lying Ryan could not and did not win Wisconsin in 2012... All this huffing and puffing about Trump's possible 'waterloo' is peering down into a single wall/cell of a honeycomb. Compartmentalization is the operative description.
Vicky McKenna and Charlie Sykes have been opposed to Trump and supportive of Cruz from the very start. McKenna is an amateur. Sykes has been good but simply hates Trump.
But to call this Trump's Waterloo is a massive over-estimation of this one state. If it had been compared to Cruz's hill to die on, it might be more accurate.
I have fully expected and continue to expect Cruz to win Wisconsin by 5+. If Trump wins, it will be a huge upset.
Huh? With all these northeastern primaries coming up, and in the part of the country where Cruz will be hard pressed to even finish second in many of those states, it will be Cruz’s Waterloo.
Supposedly the author is claimed to be a Freeper... Interesting what?
Fredricksburg is in Iowa too, not far from Waterloo ;-)
Trump will split the delegates, WI is not a state he was counting on winning.
If he’s a “terrible candidate” why is he still in the hunt where Jeb, Rand, Marco, etc. are long gone?
Salena’s a FReeper? Why no courtesy ping?
Maybe because the other candidates quit when they no longer had a chance?
I see that she hasn't posted here in over three years. Too bad. :(
If hes a terrible candidate why is he still in the hunt where Jeb, Rand, Marco, etc. are long gone?
It’s called splitter, hanger on, GOPee stooge.
He has a snowball’s chance in Hades. He’s in it for himself, not the voters.
Trump is finished now! It’s over! LOL
How do you figure?
And could you find it within yourself to spell Senator Cruzs 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.
I figure because most everybody but you admits that cruise is just being used by GOPe to stop Trump. If Trump folds, cruise is smoke in the wind.
cruise and his misled supporters get NO respect from me because he's just another globalist trying to destroy our country.
Cleveland will be Trump’s Waterloo.
