Wisconsin’s Most Important Election Wasn’t Yesterday’s Presidential Primary

If you believe, as we do, that it is time to break the Washington Cartel’s grip on the national Republican Party, and to nominate and elect a conservative outsider as President, yesterday’s Republican presidential primary was good news.

But if you want to break the Washington Cartel’s grip on power, and its outsized influence over the Republican Party, yesterday’s presidential primary wasn’t the most important election.

Paul RyanWisconsin’s most important election is the coming August 9 Republican Primary in which conservative entrepreneur Paul Nehlen is taking on Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in Wisconsin’s Fist Congressional District.

Yes, it was good news that conservative outsider Ted Cruz won Wisconsin with a substantial plurality of the vote – 48.3 percent according to the national wires – thereby defeating populist Donald Trump by more than 13 points and establishment Republican John Kasich by more than 34 points.

But it was even better news that together the two outsiders – Cruz and Trump – booked over 83 percent of the vote.

And it was better news yet that in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District, now occupied by Ryan, those same percentages for the outsiders held.

But the best news yet was that Ryan’s opponent, conservative outsider Paul Nehlen, grasped what those numbers mean for his own race and began pounding Ryan as the landslide for the outsiders was tallied up.

Nehlen responded to the establishment Republican tweetfest around the hashtag #NeverTrump with a hashtag of his own -- #NeverRyan.

If you don’t remove all of these multi-national politicians from office, they will give your country away.

I thought the most important election in Wisconsin yesterday was that the last “dry” town voted to go “wet.”

Wisconsin without beer is like Florida without sunshine. My first Madison non-political faux pas was going to the Great Dane and ordering a Leinenkugels.

Out with the old. In with the new. Plan on fighting this one with boots on the ground.

It’s fun to start at the bottom of this Bradley v. Kloppenburg article and read the hopeful tone that Klopenburg may win against the conservative Bradley, backed by Gov. Walker. At 10:20, she was cutting into Bradley’s lead. By 11:00, Bradly was declared the winner. Good for you, WI!
