Wisconsin is weird. They elected Tammy Baldwin (D) and Ron Johnson (R), but those two have voted the same way exactly TWO times in the last 134 bills or motions that they both voted on. One is rabidly pro-Trump, and one is very anti-Trump. How does the same population do this? They were elected in 2013 and 2011, respectively.
My only explanation is that up until the 2016 election, we were pretty much a Purple state.
We flipped for PDJT in 2016 because the Silent Majority in Wisconsin had had MORE than enough of 0bama and Crew.
You can say the same for MI, OH, PA, etc.
Oh, and Tammy had TONS of outside & PAC and Bundled cash. She’s got the same advantage this time around, too but she’s made no appearances yet and I have yet to hear a commercial for her on Radio or TV.
I guess you spend your $$$ after the Primary challenger is elected. She’s going to be VICIOUS to Leah. Count on it. Major cat fight. You can sort through it all, here:

Ron Johnson is Home Grown.
I know. My wife is a Racine girl.
Are we better off with Chuckie in charge? Reed never let any gun control bill come to the floor when the Dems controlled both houses and the White House. He didn't because he feared the NRA. Democrats don't fear the GOA, they fear the NRA. If they had endorsed his opponent instead of staying neutral he would have had no reason not to hold off the bills his caucus wanted to put to a vote. In the real world you need sticks and carrots.
You can be as unimpressed and ideologically pure as you want. I prefer actual winning.
I had no clue there was a video. lol
Thanks for the Ear Worm! Song’s been in my head since yesterday, LOL!
Freepers are naughty by nature so glad I could be of help. Oldie but goodie.
