Trump Likely to Lose In Wisconsin

By 4 Comments

“Winning has been Donald Trump’s cure for all of his failings this campaign. But while his failings have been on full display this week, a Wisconsin win on Tuesday looks unlikely,” Politico reports.

“Trump trails Ted Cruz in each of the last six major polls… If those results hold, Cruz would not only win Wisconsin, but he’d take the lion’s share of the state’s 42 delegates thanks to Wisconsin’s “winner-take-most” primary rules.”

Washington Post: “A loss for Donald Trump, who is facing scrutiny after several high-profile stumbles, could reset a Republican contest that he has long dominated.”
