Considering Trump is fighting both parties at once, plus the MSM.... He’s doing pretty good.

“unified, politically sophisticated Republican electorate”.

The politically sophisticated Republicans have served us well in the House and Senate, and I’m sure they will continue to do so.

I don't think these totals are bad considering Cruz was traveling with Scott Walker,

est. % in: 99%

Cruz
527,064 - 48.3%

Trump
383,598 - 35.1%

Kasich
153,514 - 14.1%

Thank you WI voters. You prove you want mexican illegal invaders and muslims to swarm over you and have your children as slaves. You also want a leftist supreme court to rule over you and take you rights away. viva la raza cabrons! viva Hilary! alluah akbar! You will enjoy sharia law. You deserve it!

I’m glad I don’t live there as you WILL get the government YOU DESERVE.

Look at the Wisconsin map it looks like Ted won 20 counties and Trump won 52. Funny how the populous counties have such extremely different vote patterns than do the rural ones.

Wisconsin voted poorly. Bad decision on their part. But Cruz winning only gave him an extra week, for Cruz its all about playing dirty and peeing in the swimming pool, plus leaving a large floater. The numbers still have him cruzin to loosin.

If you go county by county Wisconsin is Trump territory. He won in Ryan’s district.

“Hey... Who got his ass kicked last night?”

“Trump got his ass kicked last night”

Five minutes later... “Hey... Who got his ass kicked last night?”

“Trump got his ass kicked last night”

Five minutes later... “Hey,... Who got his ass kicked last night?”

“I keep telling you, Trump got his ass kicked last night. Don’t you remember?”

“Yeah... But I just like hearing you say it!”

Donna,

If Kasich was out of the race would those votes split between Donald and Ted or would Donald have garnered the lions share? It might have tightened that race IMHO.

Let's look at this "defeat", and why "The Establishment" was not going to rack up a loss in WI, for reasons including pride and to stop Trump.

* The State is the home of Speaker Paul Ryan.
* The State is also the home the RNC Chairmen.
* The State is also the home of an embattled Governor who had to win many challenges.

With that all said, obviously a GOP ground game with an establishment flare is alive and well and works in Wisconsin.

I think the thing to ask is, if their ground game is so darn good than why hasn't Prebius try to replicate it in 49 other States?

We sure in h#ll could have used it with that laggard Romney in 2012, that is for dang sure..

That is like the County Map Nationally and Michigan for POTUS years. The whole Country was "Red" for Romney ( land mass wise ) and it is 4 or 5 highly populated liberal moon bat infested counties in Michigan that turn Michigan "Blue"....
