Donald Trump News: Is Wisconsin Trump's Waterloo?

Republican front-runner Donald Trump has watched his popularity and winnings drop in Wisconsin due to his various acerbic comments---on abortion, for instance.

Hence, Wisconsin seems to portend the beginning of the end for Trump, with Ted Cruz walking away as the winner. Even during his political rally at the Milwaukee Theater Monday night, Donald Trump seemed to be subdued, not aggressive. The politicians supported his competitor, Ted Cruz.

His wife, Melania, tried to bring back female supporters. The former model read from a speech and spoke to the people in the theater.

"I'm very proud of him," she said. "He is a hard worker, he's kind, he has a great heart, he's tough, he's smart, he's a great communicator, he's a great negotiator, he's telling the truth, he's a great leader, he's fair."

But apart from the string of flattering words, she also defended his aggressive rhetoric, which has made a number of people his opponents.

"As you may know by now, when you attack him, he will punch back ten times harder," she added. "No matter who you are, a man or a woman, he treats everyone equal."

Yet another former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Young appreciated him for trying to make America into a "country that is safe."

Cruz, meanwhile, savoured the support of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and also the endorsements of many notable personalities.

But Trump, on the other hand, did not bother to win the Wisconsin governor and even insulted Walker in an interview.

"Your governor came out, he was expected to win, and we sent him packing like a little boy," he said. However, he does not remember that the governor is extremely popular.

Brandon Scholz, a Republican strategist, and lobbyist feel that Trump's strategy has backfired on the candidate.

"Maybe, in his mind and some others, this is a political tactic, that they can get people engaged and thinking that there's a lot of anti-Walker Republicans, which there aren't - he's got an 80 percent approval rating - then, maybe, Trump can, as he does in other places, get his earned media that way. But it's backfired, it's backfired terribly," Scholz said.
