WI-01 is Foxconn country. National politics or whatever Ryan is up to has no bearing here. Likely Walker.

Assuming Ryan’s retirement leads to a closer WI-01 race, and reduced morale, how much should Walker worry?

I can't imagine this has much bearing on Walker's chances. If anything, Walker's performance is more likely to have an effect on WI-1.

↑ Wisconsin looks like it's in line for a trifecta flip.

Not comparable because a lot of these GOP seats (in the Assembly as well as the Senate) are held by incumbents, who will have an easier time holding on to their seats than Screnock winning an open one. This won't be the year to flip the trifecta. Also, with Walker on the top of the ballot, a lot of suburbanite conservative folks (especially in the South-East corner of the stater) who otherwise won't turn out, will. Assembly and Senate are both Likely R.

The southeast won't decide Assembly or Senate. There are zero Dallet-R senate seats and 2 Dallet-R assembly seats in the southeast. Western WI and Green Bay-Appleton-Oshkosh will be deciding Assembly and Senate control.

As said directly above, look at the map. What you said would have zero effect on flipping either since the flipped seats are nowhere close to those areas.

I was responding to the thought of flipping to a D trifecta as a whole...and gave reasons as to why Walker was winning Gov (his strength in the South East). That seemed to have been confused by people with my reasoning as to why Dems cannot win the gerrymandered legislature.

Considering every sign is pointing to him losing we are all still confused.

Report says Barrett eyeing another run for Governor. Hope not, can't take someone tied to Milwaukee or Madison right now. The swing voters have been frothed in anti-city rhetoric for years now.

Leave it to the Dems to shrink their tent by relying on Milwaukee to save the day. No wonder they are at a risk of turning Wisconsin to the next West Virginia.

Lol.

Also, theoretically we could rely on the ever-growing Dane County to dominate the whole state, but fortunately WI Dems have been doing well in rural areas as well.

Worst of both worlds for them.

Wisconsin legend and civil rights leader Vel Phillips passed away. Few of her accomplishments:

— 1st woman, 1st African American elected to Milwaukee Common Council
— 1st woman judge in Milwaukee County
— 1st African-American judge in WI
— 1st African American elected statewide in WI (Secertary of State)

Video on her life

If Milwaukee voted at the same level as Dane they could probably never have to rely on the rest of the state for anything.

For every 1 lost in the Driftless, right? I don’t subscribe to the Chuck Schumer “winning” philosophy.
