Wisconsin Megathread

[Ebsy]

Duffy should definitely have a serious challenger in the general. He probably won't lose, but he might, and congressional majorities are made up of "mights".

[Blackacre]

Wiki has former ambassador Daniel Speckhard as a potential candidate, whats the deal with him?

[mcmikk]

So it appears that Tony Evers is in. He officially announced yesterday. He made a 15 minute announcement speech where he espoused many progressive values and he often seemed to link his ideas back to children and his career in education. He also made a 3 minute video which I have linked to here. What do y'all think of it?

So far, I like how he's presenting himself. I'm a bit pushed back by the fact that he uses Trump's remarks on Walker during the primary, but it may be a great move for moderates. I think he knows what he's doing. He's been very successful.

[Ebsy]

We need some polls of Evers vs. Walker.

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think he has the looks for it.

I thought those comments were particularly powerful. Even if Trump remains unpopular in Wisconsin next year, it'd be malpractice not to use that against Walker next year, particularly in Trumpy areas like western Wisconsin.

Yeah, that's what I mean by "he knows what he's doing." He understands the state well, so I'm trusting his moves here.

I love Evers' message, but he needs to be able to sound fired up, which I never got in the video.

No need to sound "fired up" in local Wisconsin politics. It's practically the norm to be exactly the opposite.

[Kingpoleon]

Kathleen Vinehout sounds fine to me... Is Dave Cieslewicz or Chris Abele likely to end up on the bottom of the Democratic ticket?

Really? We saw how control v emotion worked out the last cycle.

Yes, but at the same time 45 carried Wisconsin, we reelected a dead-behind-the-eyes, cookie cutter Republican as our Senator over Russ freakin' Feingold. Ron Johnson doesn't exactly have much in the charisma department.

To be fair, people have to take Viagra to feel excited about Scott Walker

lol

[UncleSam]

Those PPP pos with their leading questions on Foxconn THEN the questions on environmental policy hahaha that's practically polling industry malpractice

Like that's actually so amateurish it's insane, I have to believe they did that on purpose.

Johnson has charisma in the same way Walker does: perfect, aggressive normality.

have you seen what Wi Gov's look like?

Anyways why are people surprised Walker is unpopular when we still don't have a budget?

Haha this is it guys, we've finally got Walker doomed, he's dead.

Note:  This is sarcasm, I seriously doubt Walker goes down next year, Lean R but closer to tossup this time.

[windjammer]

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Haha this is it guys, we've finally got Walker doomed, he's dead.

Walker's chances I think are lower than they were in 2012 and 2014, but he really isn't doomed.

1. Walker said he will likely announce on November 3.

2. Clarke has to fix his thesis or he could have it taken away. HAHAHA
