Forget how your candidate did here, republicans cemented control of Wi supreme court

Bradley beat Kloppenburg for a 10 year seat on the WI supreme court. 53 vs 47.

Sure sure, you get to go on toward the convention, but for those of us left to here, THIS-REALLY-SUCKS and demonstrates WiDems remain a weak force overall in the state. You can't find a judicial candidate in any state of the union that has made more inflammatory statements against LBTQ and advocates for women's rights. And we elect her

Support for the republican marriage-wrecker keeps all three branches of WI government firmly in conservative hands.

didn't translate into a win for the court. I wish he would promote other candidates; it would be a great help for down ticket candidates. Even just a few words.
