Trump and Clinton See Signs of Trouble in Wisconsin

The respective front-runners both trail in a new poll of Badger State voters.

Audrey Khairghadam’s zeal for the Republican presidential front-runner faded away sometime between the moment Donald Trump strolled on stage to the ‘90s techno anthem “Are You Ready for This?” and, an hour later, when he left.

The 35-year-old service industry business owner was so excited to see Trump’s first rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday that she jogged five miles from her house to get to the event eight hours early. But after watching from her second-row seat, she left disappointed. True to form, Trump delivered a barrage of attacks on rivals—including those no longer in the race—but the Janesville resident wanted specifics on how he’d shake up Washington.

“I expected to hear a lot more detail about what he was going to do for our country, instead of just, ‘Trust me,’” Khairghadam said, adding that she was so deflated she probably wouldn’t vote. “Trust isn’t something any of us have right now.”

Five days before Wisconsin’s April 5 primary, voters like Khairghadam are threatening to shake up the presidential nominating race in both parties. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, and Trump are trailing their rivals in the Midwestern state, according to a poll released Wednesday from Marquette University.

Trump was trailing in the poll, taken March 24-28, to Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, 40 percent to 30 percent. Ohio Governor John Kasich was third, with 21 percent. On the Democratic side, Clinton fell behind Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 49 percent to 45 percent.

1. Everytime I read an OP like this, I am reminded of the old story ...

A group of people are hiking in the forest, when the encounter a man eating bear.

The group takes off running with the bear in hot pursuit.

As the bear is gaining on the two slowest hikers, the one yells to the other, "The bear is catching us; but, I'm okay with that ... all I have to do is run one step faster and one step farther than you!"

2. Trump is self-destructing, as had to happen sooner or later

I can't see a feasible path for the GOP to win at this point. So the Dem nomination is HUGE.
