Wisconsin can put the Constitution away again. If they want a leftist tyranny then they’re welcome to it.

That’s what I think. I think it’s much worse than we originally thought.

Once you go north of Madison, the entire state is republican. A minor exception with Appleton, which is a shame, but that’s only about 20,000 population, maybe 10,000 voters. Of those, maybe 5,000 vote.

If WI were somewhat of a swing state before, now it’s completely gone.

She won big. Even in the counties she lost, it was too close for comfort. People love abortions, I’m afraid.

I hate to think of the cases coming up around the bend.
