Last week was rough for President Donald Trump, shown here during an August Cabinet meeting.

The underlying theme of the midterm elections this fall is how voters feel about Donald Trump.

The president has been on a bumpy road in the past week. Two of his former close associates were found guilty. Others turned against him, agreeing to share potentially damaging information.

Will the recent developments make a difference in races in Wisconsin, especially if Trump comes here, to stump for candidates like Gov. Walker, and U.S. Senate hopeful Leah Vukmir? JR Ross of Wispolitics.com says not necessarily.
