Live Thread--Wisconsin Primary--Tuesday, April 5, 2016

Did you bother to read the print at the bottom?

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in 2011-2016. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families.

The object is to take down the dems, restore the rule of law, secure the borders, face the threat of radicalized islam, re-establish fiscal sanity and the personal responsibility of our citizenry and, somehow, in doing so retain some level of civility in the nation as a whole so that we do not descend into unreasoning hatred and chaos. The tactics of the White House community organizer must be rejected as well as his policies. Both are toxic for our nation.

Well I see why you are a Cruz supporter. You don’t mention one of the great issues of our time: TPA/TPP. I was a long time Cruz supporter up until he campaigned with Paul Ryan to enable Obama’s secret trade agenda.

Apparently, you like Ted Cruz are comfortable with he Constitution abrogating TPP/TTIP. This country will be forever changed if it passes and Ted Cruz enabled it with his month long dishonest campaign is support of it. There is simply nothing principled or conservative about enabling it. Ted Cruz stood with Barack Obama and Goldman Sachs and against us on TPA. He will do it again, FRiend. Guaranteed.

How did Trump take it tonight? Losing really makes that man’s skin crawl. Not very magnanimous in victory One assumes he also does not countenance coming in “Second” to anyone. Any congratulatory offered? Or was it all brickbats and excuses? Just Wondering.

Not to play down the issue, but ther is NO WAY it is thr biggest issue here or worldwide. How about the Muslims who want to abort all of us who are not Muslims.

Utah- Mormons are for open borders, arms wide open for immigration, both legal and illegal. Their governor said he would welcome Muslim refugees when other states said they would not. So yes Romney and open borders.

Yea I don’t have the energy to look up that Trump admitted to extra-marital affairs.. I have just seen the claim so many times without anyone refuting it, that it is very likely to be true...

You didn't read very carefully, did you? I said (same as Oregon) which itself was a joke.

Incidentally, having a couple large liberal cities surrounded by conservative small towns, is what Missouri and Wisconsin are. Cruz over performs in the liberal bastions, not quite as well outstate.

Cruz's campaign has a ground game. Trump's is considerably less extensive and sophisticated, to the extent it may exist at all. The Trumpster's Twitter pontifications just aren't any kind of substitute for a dedicated group of people on the ground doing the GOTV thing.

For the Trump supporters (and The Trumpster himself may want to take note, as he has not yet won a majority vote in any contest thus far..."GOTV" is an acronym meaning "Get Out The Vote."

South Carolina has voted for the Republican candidate for President in every election since 1980. The last time Wisconsin voted Republican for President was in 1984. Voting for the Republican candidate weighs in a state's favor.

I can guess with TX summers, the temperature and relative humidity are both in the 90s.

And the bugs (it being the deep south)...Yuck.

CNN and FOX have both read the statement and had comments about the statement from various commentators. FR is evaluating the statement (for whatever reason).....

Ted Cruz voted against TPA. But then you knew that already.

“NY summers are great. NY taxes, cost of living and leftist pols— not so great.”

Massachusetts is the same; great Cape Cod beaches in the summer and fall; best skiing east of the Mississippi just 2 hours north; pretty good hunting west (near NY border) and north into Maine.

The cost of living in and around Metro Boston is the killer, that’s why we live in Florida :)

Going by memory but on CNN; 3 out of 10 Cruz voters will not vote Trump. 4 out of 10 Trump voters will not vote Cruz. IIRC
