5-13-16 state republican party convention

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans struggling with accepting Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee gather this weekend for the annual state convention in Green Bay.   The meeting will put on full display the disparate reactions to the billionaire businessman.  Some influential  Republicans in the state have yet to publicly warm to Trump. Others are strongly opposed to him, while still other office holders and activists are slowly coming around and say more will follow.  Activist Brian Westrate of Eau Claire, who voted for Ted Cruz, says people need to be able to regroup and move on. He says he believes  Republicans will unify behind Trump. House Speaker Paul Ryan, Sen. Ron Johnson and Gov. Scott Walker are among the officials who are slated to speak at the state convention.
