They hate Donald Trump’s tweets. They worry about his temperament. They’re still uncomfortable with the name-calling.
“For the president to win Wisconsin again, he’s not going to have the free ride he had last time.

Locally, the party is attempting to expand on Clinton’s anemic performance in the WOW counties by tapping into a vein of anti-Trump sentiment that they say is palpable. Democrats have had teams on the ground organizing for months in the suburbs. Democratic hopes are also colored by last year’s toppling of GOP Gov. Scott Walker and a Democratic sweep of every statewide office — a humbling defeat for what was once one of the strongest state parties in the country.
“There comes a point where everybody has their own threshold of how much they can take,” Perry said. “We’re getting to the point now where there’s no way he’s gaining supporters. The only way for Trump to go is down.”Wisconsin GOP leaders recognize the threat caused by the suburban unrest. After working to mend party rifts, they are confident the leftward tack of the Democratic field will be enough to unite suburban Republicans behind the president.
“I hear less and less people complaining about the tweets. People want Trump yard signs now. Everybody is trying to get their hands on anything Trump and you’re sold out before your day is over,” said Kathy Kiernan, chairman of the 5th Congressional District GOP. “I believe that the president has truly won a lot of these people over.”
