One thing to keep in mind is that you don't register by party here. You pick one candidate or vote a straight partisan ticket. I do know some folks who clearly would vote for Bernie crossing over to vote for Trump (to fukk with the wingnuts). I don't think there are enough people doing that to skew the primary (I think Bernie will probably take the state), but something to think about if things shift.
Got a bad feeling about tonight. 
I dont believe these polls. I think Bernie wins by 8-11 pts.

at Bernie people getting butthurt by the thread title. This is a must-win for him to keep his slim hopes alive. He said it earlier this week a loss here would kill his momentum.Plus I needed a Packers reference for Wisconsin.
It looks like he's going to win here anyway so it's a moot point.
Highly doubt the margin will be that wide in an open primary. If anything, he may over perform the polls where he's only down by 4.
probably should have won arizona if clinton wasn't pulling the rig.I'm late, but I just found out Bernie actually won Nevada.

Scott Walker Ducks Question About Ted Cruz’s Plan To Police Muslims

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker speaks during a campaign stop for Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Monday, April 4, 2016, in Madison, Wis.
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — The day before Wisconsin’s presidential primary, Republican Gov. Scott Walker hit the campaign trail with Sen. Ted Cruz, who he recently endorsed. The two appeared together in stops across the state, where Walker heaped praise on Cruz as a “constitutional conservative” who will “challenge the status quo.”
But when ThinkProgress asked Walker if he supports one of Cruz’s key campaign promises — to patrol Muslim neighborhoods in the United States — he refused to answer.
Listen:
At a campaign stop with Cruz at an Italian market in Milwaukee on Monday afternoon, Walker would not answer whether he supported Cruz’s call for singling out U.S. residents by their religion for extra policing and surveillance.
“The three reasons I gave for supporting Ted Cruz are: one, he stands for the Constitution, which is really important for the state of Wisconsin in terms of shifting power back to the state and the people,” he said. “Secondly, I believe he’s going to take on some of the big government special interests in Washington, which is something we admire here. Third is a practical reason: out of all the candidates only two can run in the fall, and Ted Cruz is the only one who can win.”
When ThinkProgress tried asking again, telling Walker that Muslim residents in his own state say they’re terrified by Cruz’s comments, he said only, “I don’t have any say over that” and “I gave you the three reasons I’m endorsing him.”
Just a week prior to endorsing Cruz, Walker had sharply criticized Cruz’s proposal, saying that surveillance should be “not limited to certain neighborhoods or certain backgrounds.” Since endorsing, however, he has changed his tune.
Though just one percent of Wisconsin’s voters identify as Muslim, a 2010 study found that Islam is the second-largest faith group in Wisconsin and 19 other states. Nearly 10,000 practicing Muslims live in the Milwaukee area alone, and nearly 60,000 call Wisconsin home. But members of this growing voting bloc say they feel driven away from the Republican Party by the rhetoric and policy proposals of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, and those like Walker who support them.
Ahmed Quereshi, a native Wisconsinite and the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, told ThinkProgress that Gov. Walker hasn’t reached out to the Muslim community for more than a decade. He said the last time Walker visited the Islamic Society was when he was first running for Milwaukee County Executive in 2002. Since then, he has not only kept his distance, but has made statements Muslims say are inaccurate and offensive.
“He said in August that there are only a handful of reasonable, moderate Muslims who don’t follow ISIS’ ideology, which was an outrageous statement,” said Quereshi.
After that remark, Quereshi and several other religious leaders in Wisconsin wrote a letter to Walker asking for a meeting with him or a high level staffer, but was told no one in the administration had time to meet with them. “He has not demonstrated any interest in meeting with the Muslim community in Wisconsin to address these kinds of issues,” he said, “so personally I’m not surprised he decided to endorse Ted Cruz.”
Muslim students at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee told ThinkProgress they wished their governor would reach out them more and not fall back on harmful stereotypes.
“Maybe he should start a listening session where he listens to people with different perspectives and actually understands,” senior Ameena Yusuf said.
