Makes clear Trumps overwhelming support. The only reason Walker has any support is because he is from nearby Wisconsin, otherwise I suspect he’d be down with Cruz.

Only one corner of Wisconsin even touches Iowa. The newspapers in Madison and Milwaukee never make it anywhere near Des Moines. Minnesota is a LOT closer, and it didn't help Bachmann OR Pawlenty.

Wisconsin isn't really a big corn or wheat growing state, unlike Kansas (which really DID help Dole in Iowa). Wisconsin is about industry (Harley Davidson, S.C. Johnson, Kohler engines, etc.) technology (Epic Systems) and Dairy. Iowa is about grain and pork. There might be more, but those of us who lived and worked in Wisconsin don't really hear about it.

What we did see was a man who was an up and down conservative in his actions MORE than in his rhetoric. I'm a Cruz supporter, but Walker is in many ways a sound, if not perfect, candidate.
