Morning Brief: April 5
Another day, another primary. Today Wisconsinites will exercise their right to vote before polls close at 9. Donald Trump's enlisted his wife to help improve his dismal record with women. He along with the Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton are playing a more defensive game in Wisconsin. Polls show Trump in a very close race with Ted Cruz and Clinton neck and neck with Bernie Sanders in the state. Some think it could be a tipping point, especially on the GOP side, if a non-front runner won in Wisconsin.
