Another Politico article, but it illustrates how this campaign is going.

QuoteMILWAUKEE — Sixteen miles separated Donald Trump and Ted Cruz on Monday night, but the distance between them felt much greater.

Trump, the national front-runner, arrived to a half-empty auditorium at the Milwaukee Theatre in a defensive crouch, beaten down by days of bad headlines and growing signs that Wisconsin — and perhaps even his best shot at winning the GOP nomination outright — was slipping from his grasp. He had his wife, Melania, make a rare campaign speech in the hopes that she might extinguish the recent fierce criticism over his remarks regarding women. She spoke for only two minutes, reading from notes.

Trump was not in his usual loquacious mood, at least initially. "I know you have a baseball game and a basketball game, we're going to go really quickly tonight," Trump began, as he looked out at empty balconies.

In the nearby suburb of Waukesha, the scene was much different.

Cruz, the challenger, was energized, reveling in the support of the Wisconsin political establishment, prominent talk radio hosts and evangelical leaders — a powerful alliance that, polls show, have him on the precipice of a blowout win. While he trails in overall victories, Cruz boldly predicted Monday that Wisconsin would be "a turning point" in the race.

Quote
It was a fired-up the crowd in the key GOP suburb that repeatedly bellowed out Cruz's name in a collective baritone, as if he were a star ballplayer ("Cruuuuuuuuuz."). Cruz himself was feeling so confident that he even waded into unusual territory with a Trump hair joke, suggesting that Walker could put Trump in the sidecar of his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

QuoteStill, Trump said here Monday that a friend told him he could win Wisconsin.

"I said, 'But I'm not seeing polls that are great, I'm a little bit down, I'm down in some, I'm a little bit down,'" Trump said. "He said, 'No, you're going to win, but you have to be here, you have to come in, you have to talk to the people.'"

So, Trump continued, "I've been making speeches, three today, four the other day. We're here constantly, you're going to get so sick of me, you're going to say, 'get the hell out of here.'"

Around half an hour later, he was gone.

Having lived in Milwaukee Metro for 18 years...   

Just shaking my head, wondering HOW could this area NOT go for Trump.  ...this is just beyond belief for me - you gotta really, really be doing something wrong as a Democrat to lose Milwaukee.

They had the choice of a real, live SOCIALIST to vote for. No way they could resist that!

That explains Bernie torching Hillary, but how is it the DIRNO Democrat-In-Republican-Name-Only didn't pull out the win?

Hearing all this sabotage, cheating, vote fixing stuff...   Is the MSM taking cues from Alex Jones...?

Don't the majority of people in Milwaukee remain independents, since they can register in either party on Primary day - especially the college students. This time they had the chance to vote for a socialist, so they all registered as Dims , and voted for Bernie.
