2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie is surging... but of greater interest
Ok, I am thrilled that Bernie is pulling a lot of support in Wisconsin! I think the energy flowing to his campaign has been incredible.
However, what I am really looking forward to is a crowd comparison between Scott Walker and Bernie Sanders. I really am hoping that Bernie utterly swamps Walker's announcement in terms of turn-out! I want to see Scott Walker utterly humiliated and brought to heel by my favorite Democratic upstart.
I think even Hillary supporters would be entertained by that possibility.

I hope Benie outshines that creep like a sun.

Sanders = dozens of fans of the socialist

(56,829 posts)they'd give us a close-up of a few Bernie supporters and say it was a small crowd of rowdy students, then give us just the right angle to make the few hundred Walker supporters look like tens of thousands.

You get the idea.
Stephen Hawking vs Louie Goober?!?!?!
You might as well have put Dr. Hawking vs. a grain of sand. The difference in IQ is about the same!

Trump will pay even more than that $50 a head to be there.
Kris Krispy Kreme will offer free donuts to the first 10,000.
Don't be a downer. Keep positive! Bernie is doing well and I think we will keep doing better.

But let's face it - Bernie would outshine Walker even if Bernie never showed up in the state of Wisconsin!!!
Go Dems!
Still In Wisconsin
(4,450 posts)It's a case of too little, too late for my home state I'm afraid, but Walker has finally lost the middle here in Wisconsin- and quite a few moderate Republicans (if in fact such a person really exists any more) to boot. A lot of these folks are really pissed at Walker's running for president full time while the legislative Republicans come to blows in the Capitol over his crappy "running for president" budget that even most Republicans see as garbage. His proposed gutting of the UW system, for example, gets 20% approval. His plan to borrow heavily into the future to support current road repairs without raising taxes has been panned by everyone, even that nasty little prick Robin Vos, who normally is a Walker bootlicker of the worst sort.

(12,504 posts)even with his union busting, teacher demoralizing, jobs initiatives in the toilet, denial of ACA expansion, the state coffers is trouble, and a recall, he still gets to stay as Governor. Just what is it that people see in him?
