Just a couple, three weeks ago, Wisconsin's top three Republican office holders - Lyin' Paul Ryan, Ron Johnson and Scott Walker - traveled to Cleveland to pay homage and swear fealty to their wigged overlord, Donald Trump.
On Friday, Trump and his sidekick, Mike Pence, are coming to Green Bay for an event. However, all three Republicans who just pledged their support has suddenly become afraid of Trump and are fleeing before him:
Walker, Ryan and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson are all taking a pass on appearing with Trump on Friday.
Walker will be viewing flood damage in northern Wisconsin. Ryan plans to be in the southern part of the state, where his district is. And Johnson has "prior commitments," according to his spokesman.
Ryan has the most plausible excuse. Wisconsin's primary election is on Tuesday so he would want to be doing last minute events to help rally the troops and GOTV events.
Ryan's excuse is definitely plausible - but it loses some of that plausibility when one also recalls that Trump refused to endorse Ryan and was praising Ryan's opponent earlier this week.
