Why is this race considered competitive again? I mean, if it were a Clinton midterm, sure, but Trump winning by less than 1% doesn’t make Wisconsin a dark red state, contrary to what half of Atlas believes.
Polarized state with a relatively high GOP floor, Johnson shocking the pundits and winning his race in 2016, Walker being on the ballot at the same time, the GOP “machine”, the (stupid) Kochs wasting millions on this race, etc.
I agree that it’s not competitive at all, though. And if it becomes competitive, 2018 won’t be a Democratic wave (far from it).
Ok can someone explain this "wisconsin polarized state" meme? it's literally been one of the most elastic states of the past 20 years. the midwest is super elastic.
like it went from kerry +0.2 to obama +14 to obama +7 to trump +1 to massive special election swings in 2018
