No, Wisconsin won't make Democrats lose

Who’s the radical in the race? By a margin of 13 points, voters view Trump as more radical than Biden (34 percent to 21 percent.) Who would handle protests better? Voters prefer Biden 43 percent to 35 percent.

In short, Trump is losing $5 on every sale and hoping to make it up on volume.

Trump’s basic problem is that he doesn’t understand how America has changed. Women who live in the suburbs don’t think of themselves as “suburban housewives.” Your average White teenager in the South looks to Black rap stars as cultural icons more than to Robert E. Lee. Americans who live in the suburbs don’t want to think of themselves as afraid of diversity in their neighborhoods. They want their children to see them as role models who would welcome new neighbors from a different ethnic or religious background.

Nothing in our culture from sports to music to television to films paints a positive view of bigotry and hate. Only in isolated corners of the digital universe do the haters and racists find others who reinforce their anger and bitterness.

Because Trump is so twisted, so perverted, so unclean, and he just lies and lies and lies. All he does is blame other people. Maybe this is catching up with him.

Let's hope the whole country turns blue.

apolitical alts - those stations are trump/putin supporters and will support trump's call to violence

the uni is a good place to protest

there is no excuse for the uni or wisconsin to keep broadcasting on those stations, like 87 others who support 260 limbaugh stations - it needs to reread its mission statement
