Why Senate Republicans are hopeful of taking out big-name Democrat in key battleground state
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/29/24 | Brady Knox

Senate Republicans are hopeful they can unseat Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) after two previous failed attempts.

Their confidence largely comes from their faith in businessman Eric Hovde, who is expected to enter the race next month.

Wisconsin is a twofer. A battleground in the presidential, and a potential pick-up in the Senate. This candidate will definitely help in the money department. We are always way outspent by the other side. Trump, with his amazing energy and charisma, helps a lot. This guy, with $20 million to put into his own campaign, also helps.

We better hope he does not say anything stupid about rape or abortion. Stay on the messsage. Hope he is a disciplined campaigner.

Wi R’s are very weak. They have no clue how to fight a political war. They let the rats steal everything.

It’s not so much being weak, as it is being complicit.

We have to remember that, when the stupid and gullible are a key part of one’s constituency, your voters vote by rote, but most are not ideologues , and can be distracted by shiny objects. I’d call him ruggedly handsome. Chicks will dig him. In a swing state that may be enough. By the same token, here in CA the voters love to vote for celebrities. That’s why I give Steve Garvey a solid 30% shot of winning Feinstein’s Senate seat

My comment on the Garvey race:

He is in a game where the opposing pitchers throw spitballs and the umpire is on the payroll of the other team.

Tammy Baldwin is very beatable. Sadly, they don’t have a good candidate in the race. Hovde is a decent republican and dispute all the haters here would vote properly most of the time. The sad part is, he’s lost in the past and nobody here wants to vote for a guy who’s lost in the past. Mike Gallagher, or Sean Duffy could probably win.

The party is run by a buffoon. Brain Schimming has no desire to play rough and tends to side with a weaker candidate. Tim Michels was a good guy, but the Becky Kleifisch side of the party…the Scott Walker/Paul Ryan wing lost the primary after going very negative and then sat on their hands during the general election. So instead, we got that bed wetter, Tony Evers back for four more years. We had a great female candidate for the Supreme Court, Jennifer Dorrow (the woman who presided over the Waukesha Christmas parade mass murderer), but Kelly won and did t have the guts to go negative on his ultra liberal opponent. You have to be willing to fight hard and Kelly was a wimp. So is Schimming

So, you’re for Trump because he two years he got the Democrats back in charge of the House, and in four years he turned the Senate as well as the White House over to the Democrats.

Putinbots are easy to identify, but sometimes I can’t tell the difference between trumpboys and Democrat trolls.

“very weak” ... R’s control the state senate and assembly, have six of the eight congressmen and one of the two U.S. senators, Pres. and Gov. have been back and forth the past several cycles ... looks competitive to me

“... Putinbots ...”

Your reply is so chronically stupid that the act of replying to it has cost me IQ points. Another 1000 replies like this and you and I will be on equal footing.
