That was pretty huge. He was like Trump-- disliked by a majority, but hard to dislodge.

This is a big win for lawsuits against Obamacare. The governorship will help resolve the gerrymandering in the state in 2020 for the 2022 -2032 elections. This is significant.

Governor, Lt. Governor, State Attorney General, and Treasurer ALL FLIPPED red to BLUE. Doug La Follette retained his position of Secretary of State.

An absolutely wonderful night!

Republican supermajority in the legislature. No legislative race went uncontested this mid-term and we specifically targeted the 3 weakest R's because that would break the supermajority and allow our Dem Governor to veto the toxic crap they pass. Wisconsin needs to work on this in 2020. Wisconsin Dem party needs to study how Virginia and NC did it. And I wish you guys could get rid of that asshole Sean Duffy. Your legislature is making noises about passing laws to take power away from the Governor, probably when it comes to appointing judges etc. They tried the same crap in NC.
