Will Wisconsin Be Trump's Waterloo?
RealClearPolitics ^ | April 3, 2016 | Salena Zito

Posted on 04/03/2016 6:12:24 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

Because he is a sneak,liar,adulterer,and is getting money from the GOP e to stay in the race. He should have left the race with the others who ran out of money,and started doing the job he was freaking hired to do for 6 years. His pay should ‘
Be docked because he squeaked out the win in tx thanks to sarah,then took the sacred oath,and never intended to do his job. He gets paid,and does not do crappola for that Senate job. He is as useless as boobies on a boar hog.

Very easy to circumvent the talking heads.

Doesn’t say much for them.

Got it. Well then, I'll just ask it outright again. If no one answers it, I'll have my answer:

Cruz Supporters: With respect to you, it's a valid charge - that if Cruz succeeds in getting the nomination, the only way that will have come about is that he has granted them (The union of the GOP and globalists (i.e. the dissolve-america-ists) interests) their will, and will continue to grant it.

Why would you support that, how do you answer it? What makes you not, then, part of the GOPe and/or globalists? In what way are you not giving aid and comfort, and in fact actually joining, the enemy?

I'm not accusing you of doing that -> I'm merely asking 'how can you say it's not that.'

Take up a collection for a hair transplant for walker,or a least a decent rug. It is distracting to say the least. Marco will need it soon also.

Salena is a FReeper, by-the-way.

WOW! As are you, Steelfish and conservativejoy, is that supposed to influence the rest of us?
