That’s a lie!

The GOPe sheep (led by former Gov. Tommy Thompson) voted for Kasich.

The GOP Conservatives voted for Cruz.

Democrat crossovers voted for Trump.


Your primary season amnesia shows you must be a deluded Cruzlim. There was huge push by the GOPe in WI to get behind Cruz. Kasich was a total non factor there.

Umm, no. I was actually here in Wisconsin on the front lines.

The "hardcore" GOPe Wisconsin voters and politicians did back Kasich. Kasich took up to 20% in some congressional districts. Hardly a non-factor.

Did some local GOPe throw in behind Cruz? Sure.

But Cruz had more than 60% support in Wisconsin's WOW counties surrounding Milwaukee - home of Wisconsin's conservative base.

What you are missing is that there was ZERO GOP support for Trump in Wisconsin during the April primary. There was exactly one village board member in just one very small suburb of Milwaukee who endorsed Trump. That's it.

Yes, Democrat Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clark supported Trump, but hadn't yet endorsed him.

Only those politicians and party officials you have slagged as GOPe have boarded (albeit reluctantly) the Trump train in Wisconsin. From my perspective, some of those endorsers are - in fact - GOPe. Others I have viewed as generally more conservative, but understand their endorsement in terms of party unity. But to this day, most conservatives in Wisconsin have refused to endorse Trump.

We Wisconsin conservatives will vote for Trump in November, but only if our votes potentially matter (i.e. polls indicate that Trump has a fighter's chance of winning Wisconsin's electoral votes).

Our efforts are focused on re-electing Ron Johnson to the US Senate.
