Congratulations to Leah Vukmir of Wisconsin on your great win last night. You beat a very tough and good competitor and will make a fantastic Senator after winning in November against someone who has done very little. You have my complete and total Endorsement!

Vukmir said “a liberal elite and the media want nothing more than to bring this president down. I want to see President Trump succeed. When he succeeds, America succeeds.”
Damn straight. She’s the one who can beat Tammy Baldwin (Lez-WI)
What was the turn-out?
That’s funny.
I do not remember either President Bush EVER
(1) calling or writing in public to congratulate ANY conservative on winning a primary election.
(2) Nor do I actually remember many conservatives who have particularly enjoyed either president Bush to call and congratulate them on winning a republican primary election. Or final November election.
Trump is using the Twitter account to bypass the national socialist press corpse just like FDR used his radio-era “Fireside Chats” to bypass the printed newspapers who opposed him.
A good question! Here’s what I found:
Turnout in Wisconsin’s primary that saw hotly contested races among both Democrats and Republicans is the highest since 2002.
Based on official results, turnout in Tuesday’s election was nearly 22.1 percent. That is the highest since 22.5 percent in 2002. That year featured a multi-candidate primary for governor on the Democratic side won by Jim Doyle, while then Gov. Scott McCallum faced nominal Republican opposition.
Seems to be a good omen.
Either would have made a good senator, and I hope Johnson gets primaried.
Who is Johnson?
Ron Johnson, the Tea Party faker.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), former Tea Party favorite who became a RINO squish.
Yeah, OK, well we can talk about Johnson again in 2022.
See ya’ then.
The Koch boys had an expensive campaign to smear her.

Then she must be a good conservative.
Senator from Wisconsin.
“””””Paul Ryan worked against her. “”””””
No surprise there.

I thought that ryan was in her camp, I could be wrong, there were so many races.
You may be right. I did see an article that said he was not supporting her, but I can't find it yet. My memory maybe playing tricks on me. I will update if I find it.

I didn’t realize the Koch’s were financing Breitbart now. Interesting.
