I hate to tell ya: he was wearing lifts and his hair had that particular orange undertone of dye. I was in charge of the fundraiser, so got close enough to see that he was wearing pancake. He was pathetic. His media pool was openly making fun of him, which added to the embarrassment.
Rural GOP were mostly GOPe and in my area, they were, at that time, elderly, mostly female and the Party was their social life. I was shocked to discover Tommy is only a few years older than I am. Even in his 60s, he came across as much older.
Your various other concerns are noted. I have no faith in the Marquette poll(s). Tool or fool, truth is Evers is as charismatic as cold oatmeal. I can’t believe that there are no walkaways in Wisconsin and I cannot believe the rabid progs are going to all go along lockstep when neither of their 2 first choices lost to Tony.
As you know, the unions hate Walker because he has diminished their power. There is no party registration in WI, so the strength of the Ds is a guesstimate. The polls leading into the primary all showed Walker and Trump in comfortable territory. The primary winners were all Trumpers in my District.
I remain confident. We should discontinue this topic before we get our knuckles rapped for sliding the thread.

I recently spent some time with Mom. Facepalm. She is reliably conservative, but gets little news outside of TV. It’s amazing that she votes R, considering her news sources (and friends). Discussing anything with her is difficult and she has definitely voted for GOPe candidates. Out of ignorance.
My point is that one hurdle we have is educating the non-evil, but ignorant (like Mom). There are a lot of decent people out there who just don’t know any better. So the battle to take down the MSM is VERY high priority. If we can win over Mom, we can probably win over a lot of D voters, too. In fact, I see it happening, but it’s a gradual process.
