eh, I’m angry that a supposed “R” leaning district, swung in favour for the Dims.

We need the people of Wisconsin to wake up, but given their repudiation of the Rs, show me why I should believe that Wisconsin “gets it”. I’m sure not seeing it.

Every election I always see Wisconsin does “just enough” to support the Dim. Every. Single. One.

After decades of D rule, WI elected all Rs, except for the SoS, who had a high name recognition and was a D.

The unions/government employees were motivated by the donks to go after recalls when they lost 1) a major election and 2)their thuggish attempts to stop major legislation.

I'd say Wisconsin voters got it in 2010. They also defeated the attempt to overturn the SSCOTUS election and affirmed Prosser.

The difference this time was that the state GOP and the RNC didn't fight on the same turf as the donks. Despite the progressive propaganda, the donks had the advantage of union thugs and union money from out of state. The unionistas were riled up about bogus payroll losses (having to pay a pittance towards their benefits).

Because of the last election, we have Voter ID, Concealed Carry takes effect in a few months, we have a property tax cap for 2 years, unemployment is down.

We do not have the organization the progressives have, nor the vast amounts of money from the administration, the unions, the Soros NGOs. Still, given all the strength of the opposition and all the weaknesses we have to contend with, we have changed the administration and the laws to our benefit.

So, cut the people of Wisconsin some slack. It may even get better as the unions need to fight the same fights in other states and their dues are not being collected by several states, costing them not only the money itself, but the administrative costs of collection.

FWIW, just a month ago we overheard a progressive activist for Ron Kind admitting to other donks that the recall of Walker was going to be next to impossible. They are having major trouble getting the petitions signed with enough names, even with using every trick they can can.
