Wisconsin Megathread v2: Hagedorn vs. Neubauer

[KingSweden]

With Tom Barrett out I am completely fine keeping WI-Gov as Lean R now.

I don’t see why, Barrett wasn’t particularly strong

[KingSweden]

Evers will win but I think Roys can leverage this into future general election opportunities

[KingSweden]

This isn't going to go over well...

To their credit Marquette vehemently protested this use of their polling

[KingSweden]

Can we bump this conversation off of the Wisconsin Megathread?

Why?   This immediate conversatin arises from the comment by Matt Flyn, a candidate for Governor of Wisconsin and a former Chairman of the Wisconsin Democrat Party that the Party was being “pickled in identity politics.”

People complaining about identity politics is the lamest sh!t ever. All politics is identity politics. It's always been that way. The Southern Strategy was Republicans playing identity politics.

Trump won on White Identity politics.

Yeah but it’s only identity politics if Democrats do it/it makes one uncomfortable.

I swear, if Kelda Roys gets the nomination, Im moving WI to safe R.

Also, those fundraising numbers are scattered between, like, 10 candidates. After the primary, funding should be directed at the nominee(hopefully Evers or Mitchell)

Why would you do that during the Year of the Woman?

She feels, to me at least, like Erin Murphy in Minnesota, a progressive woman who just doesnt really appeal to the state.

Mitchell is a union man, AA, rather socialist and charismatic. Evers is known throughout the state, and an educator, in a time when most Rs are gutting education. Roys, just seems to be the woman candidate, im sorry to say. She is endorsed by only pro-woman groups, and doesnt seem to have appeal that can be used across the state. She cant really appeal to the WOW suburbs, which are hard R, and she cant appeal to the swingy rural areas, which the others can.

I agree that this is the year of the woman, and we have had great woman candidates, such as Amy McGrath, OC, Kyristan Sinema, etc. But the thing is, all use the fact they are a woman second, and use their combat experience, vision, and record first, respectively. I just dont see Roys winning this race. Of course, I can be totally wrong, but its just my speculation.

Dude you JUST made a post about how you aren’t a troll

After looking at more photos of him, I have come to the conclusion that he is rather unnerving, and so I retract my previous comment.

He is now just a brick

Glad you came around, “Scott Walker swole bae ” is not the hot-take Hill I would have chosen to die on

Another ex-Walker cabinet member backs Evers

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I bet Evers has been sitting on this for a while

[KingSweden]

Gonna be a close one

[KingSweden]

Everyone does realize that this is an improvement for Evers over the last MU poll, right?

A song for Scott Walker:

Boyz II Men - End Of The Road

Press F5 to pay your respects.

Ah the best song. “I’ll Make Love to You” is a solid second option by the kings of R&B

[KingSweden]

Couple of not so great Walker stories in the news lately:

Seems as if planes, trains, and automobiles might be Walker's Achilles Heel.

More bad Walker press, this time from Tiger Beat

Walker going with a different strategy than Trump when it comes to the polls:

Walker didn’t win all those elections by being dumb

[KingSweden]

Can someone explain why St. Croix (practically Hudson and other cities)  and the surrounding counties (Dunn/Polk/etc.) swung and trended D from 2014? I've been seeing that in the specials, too.

I believe they’re sorta Twin Cities suburbs?
