Wisconsin: Trump’s Rise Destroys 3 Political Careers–Ryan , Walker, Priebus

From Craig Gilbert writing at the Journal Sentinel:

If you want to understand the havoc Donald Trump is wreaking in the GOP, just consider the pain he has inflicted on three Republican stalwarts from Wisconsin: Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus.
