Tommy is an 80s moderate Republican. He is yesterdays news and most of we conservative WI Republicans won’t back him for this senate seat. We are hoping another candidate like our new senator Ron Johnson will emerge.
Thompson is just shy of 70 years old. Even if he turns a bit from his past moderate ways, he’s a one-termer. Better to invest in someone with more upside.
He's also the Republican who spurred the 1996 Federal welfare overhaul. Thompson does have some good points on his résumé.
