The Democratic establishment is alarmed that a top candidate’s collapse and the surge from a democratic socialist could cost them the governorship.
Sara Rodriguez had a prime opportunity this past Saturday to show voters gathered for a gubernatorial candidate forum in Wisconsin’s rural Northwoods that she was the person who could unite Democrats, thwart a democratic socialist insurgency and deliver the party unified control of state government for the first time in a generation.
Except the lieutenant governor didn’t show up. Her reserved table sat empty, save for a lone campaign sign. She blamed the last-minute cancellation on a family emergency. But a day later, Rodriguez revealed she had just fired her campaign manager for overcounting donations by hundreds of thousands of dollars over multiple months.
After a weeklong scramble to unsuccessfully contain the financial and political damage she dropped out of the race on Friday, declaring in a video that her money issues were an “ongoing distraction” and that she didn’t want it to “become a cloud over an election that Democrats need to win.”

You expect a future governor to be able to read bank statements?
Democrat infighting
If the Dim socialist can hit the Robert Marion La Follette nerve, there’s a good chance it can win. Those Minn/Wisc libs can’t be trusted. There’s still a strong blue collar/socialist undercurrent in the Upper. Midwest.

Wisconsin is ruled by Dane (Madison) and Milwaukee county communists. Vote fraud.
Every blue state is ruled by communists in a capitol city or major metropolitan area. Washington/Seattle, Illinois/Chicago, Oregon/Portland-Salem, Colorado/Denver-Boulder, New York/NYC-Albany, Arizona/Phoenix, Georgia/Atlanta, Nevada/Las Vegas.
The list goes on.
“Can’t we just raise taxes?” Thats what would be her knee-jerk reaction to hearing she didnt have enough money...
For a Democrat at this point in America, nothing is expected excepted regurgitating the woke anti-American party line.
Socialist oligarchs are okay when they fund socialists. Just ask Bernie. Now that they cease funding Democrats, the welfare zombies that form up their organized base can’t make up the difference. The foundation is rotten to the core.
“democratic socialist”
There is no such thing, it is an oxymoron.
Don't you mean it's a redundancy? Republican socialist would be an oxymoron, though we can't even be so sure of that these days.
” overcounting donations”
The new phrase for stealing
“Where da money go?”
Hookers and blow.
Dems do not care one little bit about scandals within their own party — based on morals or ethics. If the scandal threatens gaining or retaining power, then they care. Scandal in its own right is not a problem for them.
Baltimore and DC now,
Don’t forget the Motor City
HEE HEE watching this is fun!
They went after the lunatics, the illegals and the muslims looking for votes, all the time thinking they could control them ha ha!
Now, WE can sit back and watch these useful idiots destroy that evil party.
This is delicious!
“Republican socialist would be an oxymoron”
Not really, a ‘Republican socialist’ often referred to as a RINO is basically the same thing when those two words are together in sequence. Or other popular names like ‘uniparty’ or ‘GOPe’ are not oxymorons in my book.
I can't believe I just posted that.
You got the spirit! Happy Sunday.
