Wisconsin: The Beginning of the End for Trump

      All week long, the media has chronicled the gaffs by the "Darn Old".   This coverage is seen as a lead up to Wisconsin's primary this Tuesday.   Republicans have been forced to listen to the Great Buffoon and his comments, despite the irrelevance of same.  This week's principal gaff has been on the issue of abortion rights/abortion law.  He said that women who have abortions should be jailed.  And some people see this man as presidential?  Within what seemed like minutes, Trump retracted his statement, saying in effect, he misspoke.  The barrage of negative responses continues.
      All his detractors mounted a withering campaign to highlight this comment as symptomatic of a careless, reckless, thoughtless egomaniac.  Wherever comment was made, it was universally negative.  So, the Wisconsin primary looms large in the minds of Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and the major party apparatchiks.  Polls indicate that Trump will be handed a defeat; meaning he'll garner less than 20% of the Republican vote.  Perhaps this will be true.  However, polling data of late has been unreliable.  Pollsters have a poor record during this election year.  With luck, the RNC will recover some credibility, and survive to posit itself as a real party for the 21st century.  No one is taking that bet at this moment.  Citizens of the Badger State might poll conservative in their philosophy; but independence is their real philosophy.
      April is a month when a candidate solidifies positions, takes on an opponent with various strong points.  Could this April be different?  Yes, it could be the month of continuous muddle and indecision.  Voters can be indifferent or they could be involved.  It seems this year, 2016, voters are more involved than in many years past.   To our nation's credit, bloodshed has been absent despite the vitriol in the argument.
