Dems flood primary to face Ron Johnson in Wisconsin

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Flipping Wisconsin is a top Democratic priority to bolster their razor-thin Senate majority. But before the party gets a shot at GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, it will need to tackle a crowded, late primary.

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes became the latest — and highest-profile — Democrat to join the Senate race when he officially launched his campaign Tuesday. Barnes, 34, is the state's first Black lieutenant governor and would be the first Black senator to represent Wisconsin if elected.

He joins a crowded primary field that includes seven other Democrats, including state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry and Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson. The Democratic primary isn’t until next August, and whoever wins the nomination will immediately hurtle into a general election less than three months away.

Wisconsin is one of the most closely divided states in the country and is expected to be a top battleground next year. It has one of just two GOP-held 2022 Senate seats where President Joe Biden won narrowly — and with vulnerable Democratic seats in Arizona, Georgia and New Hampshire, it’s key to Democrats’ chances of keeping the majority.

1. They Better Settle Among Themselves And Pick One, Sir

A bitter scrap in a crowded primary is the only hope the traitor currently occupying Mr. Feingold's chair has.

We cannot afford costly primary battles where a wounded winner faces this moron.

3. No one says it will be bitter.

Barnes and Sarah are both great and met them working to elect Evers. I don’t see it as going bitter.
