For Republicans in Wisconsin, it’s a time to be sentimental — and scared.
BURLINGTON, Wisconsin — Picnics aren’t supposed to be maudlin. But last weekend, as they piled their plates with bratwurst and tipped back cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon at Speaker Paul Ryan’s annual Fall Fest, Wisconsin Republicans wrestled with their mortality as a powerhouse in state and national politics.
Gov. Scott Walker, who is seeking a third term in November, delivered the biggest buzzkill. Believe the polls, he told the nearly 300 activists gathered here inside a tarpaulin tent in the middle of an apple orchard. Even the recent one that shows him losing by 5 points.

Scott, I understand your issues but blame Paul Ryan and his staff.
The third most powerful man in the USA and he spent all his time at the gym and attacking his base.
Keep POTUS at arms length and this is what you get.
Ryan is the gift that keeps on giving.
As if a Walker would be doing better without Trump
He ought to rethink his stance
More GOP fools snatching defeat.
Lesbian Tammy Baldwin is going to WIN again??
For the benefit of people who live nowhere near Wisconsin, would you please the party of Sen Tammy Baldwin, the office she is running for (Federal or state), and whether she is the incumbent? Thank you.
Should stay away from Paul Ryan and invite President Trump to have a rally.
The “Blue Wave” meme, manufactured by the MSM, is designed to convince Republican candidates to distance themselves from Trump and align with RINOs.
Are you kidding? President Trump just got Canada to buy dairy
The unemployment rate in WI is below 3%, the state’s economy is raging along, taxes are lower.... and now the voters want an dried-up old dem to take power.
Curious creatures, American voters ... they can often be counted on to f*** up the works when things are going well.
His opponent is a 60-something year old bureaucrat who couldn't lead a dog to take a dump.
Also the Brewers are kicking @ss too.
This article and the polls associated with it are total garbage. Walker will easily win by 8. You heard it here first.
She’s the incumbent, Dem. U.S. Senator.
Last Marquette Law School poll reported 9 point swing in Wisconsin Republican enthusiasm. Keep dreaming Democrats keep dreaming
Walker deserves to lose - his lazy rear end hasn’t left Madison to campaign anywhere in the state. Same with Leah Vukmir - see looked liked a candidate who could beat Tammy Baldwin, but Leah has completely disappeared from the campaign trail. Why?
The left hates the rallies. they don’t cover them and want to believe the support isn’t real. The rallies scare them.
We have Warner, Kaine, Northam (post McAuliffe) and a 5050 state legislature so we got that going for us.
At a rally to GOTV, Walker says believe the polls. I would too if I was him.
I agree with you on that he should not have to be worried with that record, but wishy-washy is a great way to lose enthusiasm and momentum.
I hope it’s true. It would be really bad for Wisconsin if rats take control.
Free cheese curds at the polling places. That will solve the problem.
