Donald Trump Starts Wisconsin Bid in Ryan’s Hometown
Wisconsin’s middle class, Mr. Trump said, has been hit “very, very hard due to loss of manufacturing jobs,” and he warned that Mr. Cruz’s and Mr. Kasich’s support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement signed this year among a dozen Pacific Rim countries, would make things worse.
.. Mr. Ryan urged Republicans to embrace civility and high-minded policy ideas, rather than the “ugliness” that he said had consumed the 2016 presidential race so far.
Shortly after that speech, Mr. Trump, a self-styled counterpuncher, responded by scheduling his first Wisconsin rally before the primary in Mr. Ryan’s hometown.
