Wisconsin Megathread v2: Hagedorn vs. Neubauer

[2016]

OK, serious autopsy time: How can Dems recover their lost appeal in the Midwest, specifically Wisconsin? Because, the current Nancy Pelosi/DWS/Country Club strategy ain't working...and the results are devastating with Wisconsin workers being subjected to No-Right-to-Bargain.

2016 was a Realignment Election and Democrats still have failed to come to terms with that. Basically from 2016 onwards the upper Midwest will be available for R's the same way VA, NC, GA will be available for D's.

Trump won Ohio by 8, Iowa by an even wider margin. That's a Realignment for me. WI is just at the beginning of it the same way VA was in 2006 when Webb narrowly defeated Allen.

Bottom Line: Cities like Milwaukee and Detroit are shrinking and I guarantee you that D's won't get a 300-350K Plurality out of Detroit anytime soon. That was their backbone winning these States but the Midwest & Cities there are shrinking.

Obama winning IN in 2008 was a total fluke.

You want to compare Braun, Hawley to Mourdock, Akin.

Candidates matter and Republicans had to find out the hard way when it came to the Senate in 2010, 2012 and 2017 with Moore in AL.

2016: If the people you are calling were actual trolls, or were otherwise engaging in trollish behavior, it would be one thing, but you're just labeling people who disagree with you as trolls. That is not acceptable here. Keep the discussion civil.

I will do that but some people are trying to get under my skin.

The Republicans will get all those Seats back and more in 2022 especially if Democrats (Warren) win the WH in 2020. Then they'll likely overreach just like Obama did with Stimulus & ObamaCare and get clobbered in 2022. At least that's what I am hoping if we lose big in November.
