Walker Compares Labor Unions and ISIS

He is begining to sound just like Paul Ryan, who's medicare voucher program, anti up Aarp, and didnt get him in 2012, now the Isis-Union comparison will gear up the unions against him.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is a tossup and Dems do need WI, I am in support of Cullen beating Walker.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Likely R with Walker running anyways, OH, IL, MI are Dems best hope.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I hope Dems get a decent candidate, this will be a major battleground in 2020.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yeah, Dems need WI badly, its a critical state for Dems in 2020.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Because up until recently, Wisconsin has been a Democratic leaning state.  And to see a GOPer, even if it is Walker, winning 3 times in a row is hard, very hard.  And hopefully, Ryan loses as well.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Of course Walker, Hogan and Sununu, aren't as vulnerable as Governor Rauner.  But, if you look at the landscape, its very hard to see Walker winning 3 terms.

The same people predicting this race and other Wisconsin races as Democrat pickups are those who pronounced Ron Johnson dead on arrival. I just thought I better mention that.

Nah, of course not, but WI tends to be very favorable to Democrats in off-year elections, especially when a Republican is president. I still think Walker's race is Lean R for sure, but the Supreme Court race and the Senate race are probably Lean D at this point, unfortunately. Still, I'm definitely not making any confident predictions at this point, I'll leave that to other users.

But I don't think Republicans should get their hopes up here, honestly.

The State Supreme Court race is an outright toss-up at this point. I don't even think we know who the candidates are yet, and the race is an officially non-partisan spring election. How people claim to know which party will win that is beyond me.

Partisan redistricting Crt fight in WI and PA will influence the outcomes of these elections in the Democrats favor. The GOP has maxed many of its gains.  Don't forget the Trump GOP bill that gets rid of medicaid expansion, is the same bill Walker championed(Expanding Obamacare) in his reelection fight.  Dems have reason to believe they will win in 2018.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Kathleen Vinehout is a challenger that Dems will put up.  And WI tend to lean one way or the other at the end.  I do hope the Dems steal this race from Walker.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

There's no real big House races and the Gov race is a foregone conclusion.  But, the one in PA with PA 06, 07 and 08 at stake will matter in control of the House.
