Another postmortem. I was going to dismiss this, considering the source, but Morris makes some valid points here that others have missed.
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I think Morris is right on this. Walker was just never able to expand his anti-union success to something that seemed relevant to people nationally. And while I agree with him about the ugliness of Trump’s campaign, that wasn’t the reason for his loss.
Too many Walker supporters thought they could make their candidate appear larger and taller by kneecapping Trump.
His analysis is correct. It is easier to say illegals are ruining this country, and be believed, because people have personal experience or can see the evidence around them. It’s not so easy to explain that unions and governments take your tax dollars without any accountability and that’s why you have less money in your paycheck and nothing gets fixed at City Hall.
