Fallen Muslim soldier's family fires back at Trump

Donald Trump, who is planning a visit to Wisconsin this week, continued sparring Monday with the parents of a fallen U.S. soldier, fanning one of the fiercest controversies of his hot-button presidential campaign.

The Trump campaign said it has made tentative plans to visit Green Bay on Friday, less than two weeks after running mate Mike Pence stumped in Waukesha.

A Trump visit would send a signal the GOP nominee is serious about contesting Wisconsin, a state where he lost the Republican primary and has consistently trailed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the polls.

Obama/Biden won Wisconsin in 2008 (10 EV)

5. I would think that's how the national polls would be...

It's shocking that so many are still voting for that freak!

[ffr]

8. +1

My sentiments exactly.

Do we really have this many people with no soul, values, or working brains? Come on! Drumpf has been doing everything in his power to turn voters off AND STILL they align with him. That's the truly insane aspect of this for me.

[ffr]

9. Good, then Drumpf is wasting his resources on a lost cause

What could be better?

3. Green Bay

I am familiar with the area, have some friends up there, and um, yeah, Mr. Trump would have a fan base amongst the population.

7. Most of wisconsin except Madison and Milwaukee I'd guess

Especially from green Bay north all the way thru the UP

When T. talked about deportating Mexicans though, there was some push back from the dairy farmers. They milk the cows and are farm hands . So don't mess with the Cheese!

6. I hope that Walker and his criminal enterprise joins this half wit-------------

on the stage or any republican crony in the state, and another Gold Star mother asks him (herr drumpf), Walker, Johnson what they think of this jerk-------------which won't mean much, they all lack empathy, and they both said they endorsed this narcissistic fascists

10. But Wisconsin went for Obama in 2008-- why would they vote for dumdum?

And what about Nate Silver's take on Wisconsin?

None of this is making sense to me.

Right now Nate Silver has Wisconsin at:

Clinton 80.5
dumdum 19.5

11. It's the Milwaukee-Madison corridor that turns the state blue

Parts of rural northern Wisconsin are bright red.
