Republican US Sen. Ron Johnson released a pair of television ads Monday attempting to frame his reelection campaign he announced the day before as being about fixing a broken country, even as Democrats hit him for breaking his pledge not to serve more than two terms and tried to paint him as an out-of-touch millionaire.
The early salvos come in a race in a nearly evenly divided Wisconsin that’s expected to be one of the most expensive and hotly contested in the country with control of the U.S. Senate at play. There is a large field of Democratic candidates fighting both to win the Aug. 9 primary and take hits at Johnson along the way.
Johnson, who announced Sunday he would seek a third term, followed that up with the ads in which he said he decided to run for reelection because “it feels like our country is being torn apart.”
“That’s not how it felt when I ran in 2016,” Johnson says, speaking directly to the camera. “Back then, I intended to serve a second term and go home. But now with Democrats in total control, our nation is on a very dangerous path.”
*SNIP*
In both spots, Johnson shows images of President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while making the argument that the country is in disarray. As news footage plays, Johnson references 2020 civil unrest, illegal immigration, defunding police, an increase in crime, sex trafficking and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. He also references increasing killings in Milwaukee, says Kenosha was “ set on fire ” during protests in 2020 and refers to the November Waukesha Christmas parade where six people were killed when police say a man purposefully drove his SUV through the event.

Socialist Democrats can't handle the TRUTH!
“The Wisconsin Democratic Party opened a similar line of attack painting Johnson as an out-of-touch millionaire, buying billboards across the state Monday that attack Johnson for paying relatively little in state income taxes in 2017.”
*YAWN*
That’s all ya GOT? LOL!
Republicans Pounce!!
Complete list of the GOP Senators up in 2022:
Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho) voted for Porkulus II
Chuck Grassley (Iowa) voted for Porkulus II

Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)
Toomey, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Shelby are leaving, which helps, but there are a lot of them to primary.
Rubio and Hoeven are Amnesty Senators. They have voted for a permanent Democrat majority, can’t get any more Assistant Democrat than that.
The only ones worthy of re-election are Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.
The rest are Assistant Democrats.
Scott Bauer (and Patrick Marley) are Communist cheerleaders. They, along with the rest corrupt state media, have a personal vendetta against Johnson.
The press never uses the term “attack” to describe Democrats.
Then there's no reason to fight for the seat or contribute to the campaign since it's a done deal, right?
Fight every campaign like you're three points behind up to election day. That's the only way to win,
