I'm also posting an Editorial about the HUGE mistake Dallet (D) made about, 'the rule of law.'
Governor Scott Walker and President Donald Trump have done so much to save Wisconsin from the Socialists.

Score Round One For The Rule of Law
by George Mitchell | Feb 21, 2018
For the next six weeks, Milwaukee Judge Rebecca Dallet needs to take 100 percent ownership of her gaffe about the single issue that explains Judge Michael Screnock’s victory in Tuesday’s primary.
Speaking of Screnock at a candidate forum, the supposedly moderate Dallet took the audience by surprise when she said:
He’s talking about all this rhetoric about rule of law garbage…He’s just saying the same tired old thing that doesn’t mean anything.
Oh really? Then how is it that a virtually unknown judge from a small rural county outpolled candidates from the state’s most populous regions?
Screnock relentlessly drove home what is the defining difference between him, Dallet, and the so-called progressive bloc of voters who have come up short in every recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race. His message is stark and unambiguous:
I believe strongly in the rule of law. The role of a judge or justice is to interpret and apply the law, not rewrite the law…When a court is asked to interpret a law, its role is to declare what the law is, based on what the legislative and executive branches have done, and not what the court thinks it should be. Following these principles, the judiciary should never serve as a political check on the actions of the other two branches. It is not the role of a court to veto, or rewrite, laws that it believes are unwise or imprudent.
Judge Dallet believes otherwise. Exhibit A is Act 10, which she says the court “got wrong” when it upheld that law as constitutional. Notably, the late Justice Patrick Crooks joined in the 5-2 court decision. Crooks explicitly offered his negative assessment of the bill — on policy grounds — and just as clearly said that view was irrelevant to the Court’s role.
So, the stakes are clear and high. It’s either Judge Screnock and his adherence to the rule of law or Judge Dallet and her dismissal of “rule of law garbage.”

I thought judges didn’t run on party affiliation. At least not here in Texas.
Let’s hope the R dominance continues. Like most observers, I’d pretty much mentally written off Wisconsin as a lost cause politically. I.e., “Blue Wall.”
As for running as a democrat or republican, they don't do that here in Wisconsin, but when one candidate (Screnock) runs as someone who will abide by the constitution and the other two either state outright that they don't care about constitutional matters (Burns)and the other (Dallet) has a long track record of being a liberal jurist in Milwaukee county, it isn't difficult to determine political parties.
