WI-SEN 2022 Megathread: Who stole my cheese?

Lasry appeals to the base, Black men who are NBA fans

We'll see.

I get it's your shtick to say quasi-racist things and stereotype leftists without going overboard to avoid the mods but you should probably  off anyway

He appeals to the base. Younger liberals, Black voters. There is nothing racist about what I said.

If Ron Kind forgoes a tough seat in 2022 and runs statewide for Senate, does he have a chance or will Milwaukee and Madison turnout decline because of his opposition to the Floyd police act?

Will Kind be too conservadem for Dane and Milwaukee counties?

Johnson is one of the most odious Senators, he should be defeated, but he probably holds on....

[Suburbia]

Johnson probably wins by 1-4 points this time....

If Barnes is his opponent, he probably runs "dog whistles" and he runs the Darnell Brooks case on him....if it is Lasry, he runs the rich liberal billionaire card....

Wisconsin is a battleground state.

Given how close it was in the end, another candidate may actually have won. Am I the only one seeing this as a missed opportunity?

Mahlon Mitchell would have won. Black firefighter, handsome. Actually has substance. Democrats cannot allow Republicans to appeal to working class people like cops, firefighters, etc.

Can't be upset when Bernie is embarrassed at how Democrats have been losing working class people in these crucial jobs to corporate Republicans...

You don't run someone like Mandela Barnes, with his BLM baggage and expect to win in a state like Wisconsin that has one of the most racially segregationist history in the Midwest, similar to Missouri. It ain't Illinois....

I agree on Mitchells he would've been a great candidate, it's frustrating because the Lt Gov race was wide open for him in '18 but he chose to run for Governor against Evers in the primary.

This.

Mitchell is young. He should angle for 2026 Governor.
