I think Trump’s last-minute campaigning saved him from a Cruz sweep, maybe even 3rd place instead of 2nd. He was fighting the world in WI.
Trumps campaigning in Milwaukee area probably didn’t do much. I think the rallys he did in gave people a chance to meet him. Negative ads were non stop in the state. Talk radio was #nevertrump. The northern part of the state and the counties he won seem to be those that are hurting for jobs. I do find it amusing that he won Paul Ryans hometown (Janesville - Rock County). hehe
I’m back. I think your right about Trump’s last minute rallies. He really went into the farm areas he knew he would be toughest and even gave it a shot at an area he had little chance. He I’m sure thought people from other areas might be there too. He was also positive at his rallies about telling his supporters he might win. People like to hear that from the man they are backing.
