[bearsfootball516]

2. He knows he's in huuuuuuuuge trouble.

I imagine he's a slight underdog in the governors race at this point.

[Still In Wisconsin]

49. Probably. If the electorate in November looks anything like what we saw today,

he's hosed. Margins in the rural counties weren't anywhere near what Republicans need to make up for Milwaukee and Madison and win statewide elections.

[Hortensis]

78. Lower Repub turnout or more voting Dem, do you think?

That Republican candidate's big loss sounds like it might be a slap in the face for Walker: "Sauk County Circuit Court Judge Michael Screnock is the avowed conservative in the race. He was a defender of Governor Walker’s attack on public unions, was appointed to his position by Governor Walker and is endorsed by the National Rifle Association."

[Still In Wisconsin]

82. It think it was some of both:

For certain, Democratic voters are VERY energized in Wisconsin right now. The disaster that is Trump has awoken the mainline Democrats, and the small but not insignificant bloc of very liberal voters who believed all the tripe about Clinton being in the pocket of Wall Street and therefore not worthy of their vote have, I think, mostly come to their senses. On the other side, I think the traditional deep red counties that ring Milwaukee- we call them "the asshole" - still came out for Screnock, BUT the first time voters who went for Trump in '16 (read: low information mouth breathers and #MAGA men) mostly stayed home. Further compounding problems for Walker is the realization on the part of many voters in counties with ag-based economies that Trump (and by extension other Republicans) are not going to help them. It's not so much that these folks are all coming back to the Democrats (although some are) but rather that they're not turning out in droves to support conservatives.

Summary: to win statewide elections in Wisconsin we (the Democrats) must actually campaign statewide, because the huge margins in Madison and Milwaukee will always be there... cutting into Republican margins outside of the urban areas even by five percent spells doom for Republicans. In my opinion, Hillary's people, and the State party dropped the ball in '16 by ignoring all but two counties in Wisconsin. Heck, Hillary didn't even visit, and everyone knew Wisconsin was competitive. Ditto for the last three Governor's elections- campaigning solely in Milwaukee and Madison is drawing to an inside straight, to use a poker analogy, and not likely to be successful.

[BlueWI]

108. Very liberal voters coming to their senses?

This is a day of celebration, so I won't push back too hard on this editorialized version of things, but I have a little bit of talkback. Wisconsin does have a strong liberal voting block that comes out bigger for candidates perceived as transformational. That's why Sanders and Obama won handily here, and Clinton, along with gubernatorial candidates Mary Burke and Tom Barrett (at least in the first race against Walker) struggled a bit with turnout. Pat campaigns and conventional centrist Dems tend to struggle lately in statewide elections.

In any case, we worked hard in this election for statewide and local wins. We rocked it here in Eau Claire County with a strong turnout that put some truly progressive voices on the city council and county board. Give credit to all wings of the party at least for today - intraparty sniping can wait for now. On to the governor's race!!

[Still In Wisconsin]

109. It honestly wasn't meant as sniping! I consider myself to be very liberal on most issues.

I volunteered for and donated to Bernie Sanders in the last Presidential primary and was really disappointed he wasn't our candidate. I agree that Mary Burke was very "meh" although I disagree somewhat on Barrett- although he does have the personality of an old shoe, I think he's pretty progressive most of the time.

Anyway- what I was referring to was the small but significant bloc of voters who either wrote in Sanders- yes I knew a few from my Bernie volunteering days- or worse stayed home because they weren't excited about Hillary. It is obviously anyone's right to vote however they want- or even not to vote at all- but I really think SOME in the liberal wing of the State party- and again I consider myself to be part of that wing- did us all a disservice by not at least voting against Trump. Heck, it took me a good month to get over Bernie's primary loss and really get to work for the general so I get it.


But, yes, let's get that Walker bastard! Time to roll up the sleeves!

[BlueWI]

111. Got it - sounds good, and thanks!

Let's hope for another big celebration in November!

[Hortensis]

114. Very interesting discussion. Obama and Clinton

were actually also transformational in the scope of what they wanted to accomplish, but both believe our government systems have a good proven soundness that needs to be protected and also substantially improved, updated and built on.

Those trying to run against them had to differentiate by claiming our systems was no longer sound and needed great, fundamental changes. Yet behind the more dramatic rhetoric, they called for the same kind of advances Obama and Clinton were committed to, just in different, more negative language. And if their plans were considered unworkable by economists, that was because in needing to differentiate by promising quicker, larger advances than Clinton did, they called for more than was thought possible in that scenario.

[SergeStorms]

52. Is he deflecting much?

It was his far right, Koch brothers agenda that was "driven by anger & hatred" to secure him his election "win" in 2014.

Republicans really hate it when they have to play on a level playing field.

Suck it, Scott!

[liberalhistorian]

91. Whoa, wait, what?

The Koch puppet motherfucker is actually running again, for a third term? Seriously? UGH.

[bearsfootball516]

93. What made you think he wouldn't?

[Dulcinea]

99. What a douchebag.

Voters of Wisconsin, please send this putz packing at your earliest convenience. Thanks, the other 49 states

[Farmer-Rick]

3. Twitter whining it's all the rage among RepubliCONS

[Cha]

25. lol

[SergeStorms]

53. So much whining.

It was supposed to be WINNING but then Donald Trump was sworn in. Everything has been going downhill for them since.

[The Polack MSgt]

98. I like it

Can be used in all the rebuttals

You're gonna get sick of all the whining

[ProudLib72]

4. What do you expect, he wasn't allowed to cheat (much)

6. Yes asshole, we're driven by hatred....

of haters.

[dameatball]

76. Exactly. Sometimes being driven by hatred can almost seem.......refreshing! Our turn.

[thewhollytoast]

7. Hi Scott I have a two step plan for you that even the stupidest loser can follow.

1. Pull your underwear out of your butt-crack.
2. Get some rest your life is only going to get worse.

weird, silly, little man.

Toast

[KY_EnviroGuy]

36. He needs a 12-Step program for hypocrites!

Where the hell do these people learn how to lie and deceive as they do? Sometimes I think there must be a Rupert Murdoch university for aspiring right-wing politicians.

[jmowreader]

41. Not sure how he needs twelve whole steps...

"Stop being an asshole" is one step, and it's all we can hope for.

[calimary]

106. Welcome to DU, thewhollytoast!

OMG I LOVE that screen name!

And here's hoping Scott Walker, too, is TOAST. It's richly deserved.

[ismnotwasm]

8. God he is despicable

Glad he’s having a big fit though

[spanone]

9. sounds like another fucking idiot who tweets a lot

[Ohiogal]

10. We hate .... stupidity

[LenaBaby61]

11. So damn HAPPY to see this ignorant, cheating-ass punk ...

Melting down like this

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. Channeling tRump are we, snotty Scotty?

[peggysue2]

14. Whole lot of projection going on

Democrats are filled with hate?? The party of exclusion--the GOP being led by the Trumpster--claims the Democrats want to take the country backwards?? Bold reforms??

Hahahaha.

The Voters Are Coming! And yes, Scottie, they're coming for you.

[RandomAccess]

80. My thoughts exactly -- well said

[BannonsLiver]

15. How long has he been governor?

Seems like at least a decade. Are there no term limits?

[ginnyinWI]

43. He's running for a third term this November!

I sincerely hope he gets the boot!

I have to laugh at that Far Left crack. Ha ha ha. No, it's fed up mainstream Democrats like myself.

[triron]

16. Tweet on you SOB

[eleny]

17. Here's some optimism and organization for you, Walker

[msongs]

Pot? Kettle?

19. Gov WHINER! blubber blubber.. WHINE SOME MORE!

Somebody get him his pacifier stat!

Liberals just won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a huge margin

Gov. Scott Walker (R) saw his preferred candidate, Michael Screnock, lose to Rebecca Dallet in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election Tuesday. |Win McNamee/Getty

snip//

Dallet’s win is yet another example of liberal voter enthusiasm in state and local elections held during the age of Trump. And in Wisconsin specifically, it’s a rare victory for a Democratic Party that’s been beaten again and again in recent years. (The race was technically nonpartisan, but Dallet was the Democrat-backed candidate, and Screnock the conservative-backed one.)

[Hortensis]

79. I read the AFL/CIO backed her here and Conor Lamb

in PA. And now in IL Dems are running Brendan Kelly against a tough Republican. Kelly's also a good fit for the district and has been endorsed by the steelworkers' local.

Jobs. People let themselves be deluded into forgetting who the real jobs party is -- and always has been. And whic is not, but the Republicans seem to be reminding smarter people.

[Doitnow]

110. So, am I seeing another candidate we can all donate a few $$ to here? How about it, folks!!

[Hortensis]

113. No-dummy Democrat Brendan Kelly, IL 12th district,

"which includes parts of St. Louis’s Illinois suburbs, as well as rural counties that have struggled from a downturn in coal mining."

Dems held this district until it went Repub in 2014, but in 2016 voters chose both Trump and the current Republican incumbent by double digits. It went for Dem Sen. Tammy Duckworth by 9 points, though. So a chance, but a tough fight.

In this informative article about Brendan Kelly and his platform, Kelly is seems clearly trying to couch Democratic ideas in a "conservatized" approach, with a strong pitch for the critical role of a strong working center in politics. He advocates big government spending on infrastructure as a proven path to raising wellbeing, which of course it is.

During an interview with The Southern Illinoisan at Brews Brothers Taproom in Murphysboro in late August, he said that Americans are “losing our capacity to govern” as citizens and political leaders are consumed with fighting each other. There are people who have a vested interest in seeing that Americans are distracted by their differences, he said. He cites the flood of money into the political system as part of what has led to the polarization of the parties and inability for political leaders to compromise. ...

Asked to name three major issues important to his candidacy, Kelly said it is a need for infrastructure improvements, addressing the heroin and opioid crisis, which he said includes securing America’s borders and points of entry and adequate access to health care for people who are addicted, and addressing the divide that has brought governing to a near standstill. Here’s a bit of what he had to say on each topic. ...

“People feel frustrated and angry,” he said. “They may have a job but their salary is the same as it was in 1995. But health care and college and child care and utilities have all gone up. At the end of the day, you’ve got nothing left. Infrastructure is literally our road to prosperity,” he said. ...

“Everywhere I go, whether I talk to Democrats or Republicans, there’s a visceral response when you talk about the flood of money into our political system,” he said. Kelly said that “Democracy has been mutated into something it was not intended to be.” He said the money tends to support candidates on both sides of the aisle who are more extreme than the majority of Americas. “There are people who would prefer to have us all fighting each other," he said. ...

That's part of why I'm thinking, no dummy.

29. Boo-fucking-hoo, Snotty Scotty.

[Yavin4]

30. I nominate this song as the official Blue Wave song

[Wellstone ruled]

31. Congrats to all those Dems who made a difference.

Walker and Fitzgearld loose big time.. Now on to the big one in November.

[MyOwnPeace]

67. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Now, it is important to keep the momentum going - keep the pressure on and Get Out The Vote!!!!

[Wellstone ruled]

94. The Last time the Northern Part of Wisconsin

turned that Blue was when Dave Obe ran. Douglas and Bayfield Counties are still not getting it. The GOP is not their salvation. The Logging and Mining Jobs are gone for ever. And you sure as hell are not going to make it with 9 dollar per hour Casino Jobs.

[xxqqqzme]

35. I feel better.

I had no idea we were so organized and had so much money floating around.

[grantcart]

37. Target Walker next? Why the thought hadn't occurred to us Scott

Thanks for the idea

[KPN]

38. Sorry Scotty. Those projections worked in the past. But now, most

people with a capability to think have caught on to that ruse. The jigs up. Get ready for your own personal comeuppance. Oh, and by the way, do you really think the Koch Brothers will reward your failure?

[Still In Wisconsin]

48. Dear Scott: we're just not that into you anymore. Love, Charles and David K. n/t

[KPN]

68. Lol.

[Woodycall]

83. What we really know

is that our lives have gotten more difficult, our schools are falling apart, and you can't drive speed limit safely on many secondary roads in a State that was once known for good jobs & services, good schools, and good roads. It's hard to hide those things for long.

[Initech]

39. Damn right we're driven by anger and hatred! We had an election stolen from us!

And Scott we're coming for you! We will be hoisting a stein of your tears in November!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Walker had a former career in the movie business.

He's an expert projectionist!

......

[GusBob]

42. China is fixing to ride herd on Wisconsin agriculture

You better wise up you beady-eyed asshole

Corn, hogs, ginseng, dairy are all about to get hit with Chinese tariffs. Your rural economy, family farms, rural communities , and agriculture are gonna get hard

Blue wave should be the least of your concerns. Shit it's the only thing that can save your state.

[Still In Wisconsin]

47. You got that right... and outside of the "asshole counties" that ring Milwaukee, guess where

Walker's base resides? Yup... rural counties with ag-based economies.

Suck it Walker...

[jalan48]

44. Ah, it's the old "Far left" again.

[Gothmog]

45. This makes me smile

[Still In Wisconsin]

46. Well he got his favorite in there- tried and true "Bold Reforms" and "Outside Special Interests"

but he forgot: Big-government liberals, hard-working taxpayers, and out of state union bosses.

[Amimnoch]

50. Irony.

They marginalize:
Women.
Every race other than caucasian.
Everyone who is GLBT.
Every religion other than Christian.
Everyone who thinks our elections shouldn’t be influenced by hostile foreign powers.
Everyone who thinks that everyone shouldn’t have access to military grade weapons that are only really useful for military purposes.

Through legislation and executive policies they harm:
The poor.
Much of the working class.
Veterans.
Educators.
Media and news networks.
People working in the service industries.
People working in the agriculture industries.
Everyone who suffers, or has family who suffers from high Pharma and medical costs.

THEN whine that we’re driven by hatred and anger to remove them through the election process???


Well fucking duh.

[vkkv]

51. "Blue wave".. I like it. Sounds a LOT better than the GOP's BROWN WAVE of SLUDGE and SHIT...

[Laffy Kat]

54. Hope he is sweating bullets and...

Shitting bricks. This made my week!

Let this be a precursor to be a blue tsunami in November!

[DownFromTheMountain]

62. Erasing all doubt...

Walkers astounding rhetoric! Stirring words, sir. Wait...where's everybody going?

[TheRealNorth]

63. Dems still left votes on the table

Looking at the numbers for the City of Milwaukee & Racine, it looks like the Dems may have still left (proportionally) some votes on the table.

Scott Walker:

[ConnorMarc]

64. This is GREAT News!!

FrFr!!!

[VOX]

66. "The Far Left is driven by anger & hatred..." Only when we see America being destroyed.

Then yes, Scotty, we ARE driven by rage and contempt for the dimwit Putin-stooge watching TV in the White House, and a band of thieves that is robbing the country blind. And all the while Republicans are sitting on their hands.

You're goddamned right I'm angry, and I hate what's been done to this country. And it's not a Blue Wave any longer -- it's an absolute biblical flood that will cover the land (and Republicans).

[titaniumsalute]

69. Every single comment on his Twitter page was

negative against him LOL.

[Vinca]

70. The left is driven by anger and hatred???????? HUH????

Maybe people are finally seeing through the GOP's schtick.

[beachbum bob]

71. walker is watching the water leave the shoreline, building the tidal wave that is coming and

he has no life preserver...nor any one to toss him one

[ProfessorGAC]

72. That Idiot Is Following The Receding Water

"Oh look at the red fishies just laying there! Wait, what?"

[crazycatlady]

73. grab em by the midterms

[BumRushDaShow]

74. "Lets share our positive story with voters"

Their entire modus operandi is to spread hate, negativity, and vitriol - which includes their continual name-calling and misuse of terms like "far left" as an invective and other nonsense. And he is the biggest recipient of "outside special interest money" from the Kochs.

[GoCubsGo]

75. Well, he was right about the state being flooded by lies and misinormation.

Except that he blamed the wrong people. It's his puppeteers who have been doing that, and they've been doing it for years. It's how he got into office and remains there, in spite of being the most corrupt governor his state has had in decades. Wisconsonites are finally onto you and your ilk, asshole.

[Orange Free State]

77. My version, please copy and send....

Tonight’s results show we are on the verge of a #BlueWave in WI. Scott Walker is driven by greed & a thirst for power -- we must counter it with free and honest elections. Let’s share our positive story with voters & win in November.

[EricMaundry]

81. Nice of Scott to publicize the coming WI Blue Wave

He should talk more.

[sarcasmo]

84. #BlueWave

[NastyRiffraff]

85. He's right about one thing:

"Next, they'll target me"

You bet your sweet bippy, Scott. You're next.

87. Yesterday was my birthday.. What a great gift...

When we voted, it was more of a winter white out than a wave... But it will be a wave by Nov. count on it Scottie...

[Firestorm49]

97. Amazing!

Walker, who through his power grabbing, donor sucking, environment destroying, vote rigging, teacher hating, prevailing wage promoting, union destroying, is claiming that liberals are the ones spewing hatred and that electing liberals will take THE STATE BACKWARDS??.????!,!!!! !
Is this joker living in a shoebox? Walker has done nothing but screw the electorate of WI.
What an idiot. His time is coming, and none too soon.

[SunSeeker]

100. The replies are hilarious!

[Tarc]

101. Does Walker realize that continued use of #BlueWave drives it up the charts?

Learn2Twitter, twit.

[Enoki33]

102. The smug Koch puppet will be really freaking out when Ryan implodes.

[elocs]

103. Walker was elected here in the 2010 midterms

when too many from the Left just didn't bother to turn out and vote. As a result, the entire state government flipped from Democratic control to Republican control and because it was a census year the GOP got to gerrymander the state in 2011.
Then the Law of Unintended Consequences came to bite us in the ass with Walker's recall election which didn't happen until June of 2012 and with Koch money he built a powerful political machine.
Unlike 2014, Democrats had better nominate a candidate who has more experience than just serving on a school board because no matter what is happening now this is not going to be a walk in the park to get rid of Walker. The Left is finally recognizing and using their superpower--showing up to vote. When it comes to voter suppression via voter ID let me suggest an organization that should already exist get some of those millions of dollars donated to Democratic causes and help anybody who needs an ID to vote to get one no matter if it's helping them to get a birth certificate or just a ride to the DMV. That's practical action in confronting voter suppression.

[marble falls]

104. Too bad Scott, you'll never get elected again. Just let it sink in. Never.Again.

[cstanleytech]

105. Sounds like Walker is taking a page from Trumps playbook of

waving the boogeyman of special out of state secret groups in front of the Repugnants voting base to see if will give them something to rally around as he cannot exactly brag about his performance in office as its been dismal.

[MagickMuffin]

112. "Outside Special Interest Money", yeah, like you sucking Koch Brothers $$$$$$$$$

Funny you never have an issue with outside money when you're on the receiving end, huh!


Scott Walker still a Koch Sucker.
