Desperately hoping Johnson remains in office

[Young Conservative]

Walker has changed his mind and is now open to possibly increasing the vehicle registration tax. It's needed and it would totally piss off the WOW counties who think $75 a year is exorbitant since they've never left the state.

I'm actually starting to think that the best route for Democrats in WI-GOV will be to hope that Walker gets a strong primary from the right and that Trump is unpopular, causing a lot of straight-ticket dems to turnout on election night and republicans to stay home.

There's no chance a challenger to the right of Walker gets enough funding to be strong. He's not liberal enough for the Club for Growth to get involved and the Kochs already support him heavily.

The same people predicting this race and other Wisconsin races as Democrat pickups are those who pronounced Ron Johnson dead on arrival. I just thought I better mention that.

I love Evers' message, but he needs to be able to sound fired up, which I never got in the video.

No need to sound "fired up" in local Wisconsin politics. It's practically the norm to be exactly the opposite.

Really? We saw how control v emotion worked out the last cycle.

Yes, but at the same time 45 carried Wisconsin, we reelected a dead-behind-the-eyes, cookie cutter Republican as our Senator over Russ freakin' Feingold. Ron Johnson doesn't exactly have much in the charisma department.

Johnson has charisma in the same way Walker does: perfect, aggressive normality.

Saw this in a Walker fundraiser email. I'm pretty sure this is a core plank of his reelection strategy. Just rile up the people that were always going to vote for him anyway with caricatures of latte-sipping, kale-eating, pink-hat-wearing, angry Madison liberals.

No way that could possibly backfire in a place where those very people can out-vote the entire rest of the state.

This looks like a typical fundraising email for any candidate ever. This isn't news.
