Not super relevant, but I figured we could use some more discussion about Wisconsin.
A recent internal poll for Kevin Nicholson found that he narrowly leads Leah Vukmir in the Republican primary, 30-23(albeit with many undecided). Roughly 60% of likely Republican primary voters have heard of Nicholson, of whom Nicholson holds a 40-5 favorable rating.
This doesn't truly mean too much as it stands right now, but could this race end up being one of many proxy wars between the Republican establishment and the Trumpist insurgents? If Nicholson wins the primary, I can't imagine things would turn out too well for him in the general. He is a Bannonite and "outsider" Trumpist in a state where Trump holds a 40-52 approval rating according to an October PPP poll. He could accelerate the trend of suburbs towards the Democrats, which is bad a in a state where the populous WOW suburbs are the main GOP base.
Baldwin is definitely favored regardless, but I'm thinking Vukmir would be a stronger general election candidate than Nicholson. Not smart to sacrifice the large suburbs for a comparatively smaller Trumpist base.
For Baldwin's sake, I hope Nicholson is the nominee.
