Wisconsin Megathread

[Xing]

Wow, I knew the Democratic Party here was bad, but I didn't think it was FDP level bad. Why are so many Democrats running scared from an unpopular, controversial governor who won by single digits under very favorable conditions? It's not like funding is everything.

Am I going to have to move to Wisconsin and take him on myself!? Don't think I won't!

Walker finally declared, will none of you stand against him?

Me personally, no. Maybe MasterJedi will? /s

If nobody other than that guy who ran in California runs i'd suggest having either Jedi run or have Xingerui move to Wisconsin and run, he seems willing to.

Xingerui/Jedi 2018!

Haha, Jedi should definitely be at the top of that ticket, though.

Anyway, I mostly agree with what TNVol said. This is sort of reminiscent of the North Carolina Senate race last year. Everyone was ready to declare Burr safe early on, but the race did get more competitive. Walker probably wins in a neutral to good year for Republicans, but if things get bad for Republicans, a generic Democrat could probably win here. (#GenericDemocrat2018, am I right?)

That's two recent polls with Walker's numbers underwater. Maybe he's ot as invincible as some people think.

He's obviously not safe. If 2018 is a bad year for Republicans and Democrats land a decent candidate (granted neither of those are given), muh "WI GOP machine" isn't going to be enough to save him.

No one's saying that Walker is done for, but I think a lot of us are realizing that he actually is vulnerable and could lose, provided someone like Evers proves to be a good candidate. Still Tilt R, but well see what happens.

A lot of the remaining vote is from Madison, so this will probably end up around 12-13% in favor of Dallet. Funny, Atlas told me Wisconsin was gone for Democrats, and that they'd sooner win Georgia...
