Bernie Sanders trolls Donald Trump's visit to Wisconsin

Molly Beck, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Updated 10:50 a.m. CT April 25, 2019

MADISON - U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is seeking to defend his friendly turf in Wisconsin against a second win by President Donald Trump in 2020 by tying job losses across Wisconsin to the president.

"Donald Trump Lied To Wisconsin Workers," a front-page ad to run in Friday's Green Bay Press-Gazette and paid for by Sanders' campaign alleges. "In a Bernie Sanders White House, we will end the corporate greed behind the Shopko closures, Kimberly-Clark layoffs and Foxconn scam."

The ad will run a day before Trump makes his first visit to Wisconsin as part of a re-election bid. The president won the state in the general election in 2016 — the first time Wisconsin voters picked a Republican candidate for president in three decades.

Sanders, who won the state in its Democratic primary election, is seeking the match-up that could have been. Both are making early pitches in the state, which is key to Trump's second term and pivotal for Democrats to restore their so-called "blue wall" strategy.
