Because the Democrats are a broken-down dysfunctional disaster of a party. That's why Johnson is going to run away with this race.

Well why don’t you get involved and try to change it?

Well don’t you get involved and try to change it?

Who Stole My Cheese?

So, with the quality of candidates in PA and GA, it's not particularly surprising that they were where scandals have popped up. But man, I wish we could get something snappy like that on Johnson.

We did have RoJo saying that January 6th wasn't an armed insurrection this morning, but that's not going to do him much damage, since he's arguing based on semantics.

He saw the PA and GA campaigns imploding and didn’t want to be left out

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Johnson is overrated. He will win by mid single digits but given all of Barnes scandals, a generic r would blow the latter out of the water

[President Johnson]

Ron Johnson is probably better off then lol.

Barnes raises $20M. He still has a chance - but it's all about what he does with that money.

Nice to see but giving $20m to an incompetent campaign that thinks it’s running in AOC’s district isn’t necessarily going to fix anything here…

[If my soul was made of stone]

thinks it’s running in AOC’s district

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison,_Wisconsin

That being said, however, the Barnes campaign is so clearly uninterested in doing anything or taking any sort of stand on Wisconsin-specific issues as opposed to nationalized platitudes (this is Tammy Baldwin's saving grace!) and preaching to the choir about Johnson's unpopularity that I don't see a path for him anymore.

Is the Democratic bench in Wisconsin quite weak?

I don't quite agree. I quite like the ads I've seen and they've all been very locally focused. I think the fundamental issue is that Johnson is a battle-tested incumbent running in an even *at best* year in an even *at best* state.

Yeah, I don't even live in WI and yet I've heard about tons of the stuff Barnes has focused on, especially during the primary when he was consistently touting stuff in rural areas. Not sure where this whole "he's running an AOC campaign" is coming from.

It's not the bench. He's the Lt. Governor and a pretty popular known one at that. It's more that his progressive credentials allowed him to stomp through the primary without any regard if he was the best general election candidate.

One of the people he boxed out was Sarah Godlewski, a normcore Democrat and the state treasurer who would have been much harder to define negatively, but didn't have the passion on her side in the primary, especially since the Dobbs ruling came so late in the game.

But if you have elected Lt. Governor and Treasurer competing against each other, let alone a wealthy scion of the Bucks ownership group, the bench ain't weak.

I like Barnes personally the best, but in retrospect it seems Sarah Godlweski would be in a better position right now.

We don't live in these states and we are making assumptions on how these states will vote but it's a 52/44 map WI, PA Leans D and PA and GA and OH, NC and FL and UT are Tossups I know that much and it can be more IA, IN, MO and KY and assuming that FL is safe R is bad for your map prediction along with NC those are the first swing states up if DEMINGS, Crist and Beasley win you are gonna be wrong on your R nut map that's why I don't make one
