It is really worth reading the entire article. I am a Myers fan.

I'm your primary opponent. Stop trying to debate men that you aren't running against.

.@ironstache - Voters in #WI01 deserve a debate because this Democratic Primary should be about the issues, not about who has the most Twitter followers or celebrity endorsements.

......................But for all the media fawning, his candidacy is driving a wedge between national progressive groups and many local liberals who aren’t ready to anoint him the savior of the party, especially when Bryce has never won elected office and is facing a viable Democrat in the primary: Cathy Myers, a teacher who’s twice been elected to the Janesville School Board.

The national attention has made Bryce’s campaign formidable. He’s now raised $4.8 million and counting, the second most of any congressional challenger in the country (the top is Maryland Democrat David Trone, a beer and wine magnate who has donated over $5 million to his own campaign). More than 98 percent of the donations came from outside Wisconsin, with California and New York donors ponying up over half a million dollars.

Yet Myers has raised nearly a million dollars herself, according to her campaign manager, and she too has relied heavily on out-of-state donors, with more than 95 percent of her donations coming from outside Wisconsin.

When Ryan suddenly announced his retirement in April, Bryce lost his main foil and suddenly his biggest opponent was Myers instead of the Speaker of the House. And with that, some people began noticing that the shine on the ’stache was wearing off..............................

He ignored the woman standing next to him, until Paul Ryan was no longer his campaign target.

Now what ya gonna do?

2. Oh great, one democrat calling another an 'opponent'.

We really can't help but lose an election by eating our own. If democratic candidates can't be civil to each other in a primary it is going to turn voters off. Save the fighting for the election.

3. Myers has already held elected office

at the local level. Bryce has not.

I follow what goes on in Janesville, because we are not that far from the Wisconsin border.

In addition to being a neophyte, Bryce has purchased Twitter followers. And he has Bernie Sanders' endorsement, which has been a kiss of death for many candidates and a huge turnoff for me personally.

6. Bernie endorsement

is a badge to wear proudly.He is an FDR DEM, the best kind.

I think the 'stache looks just fine.. Just as shiny as ever..

I look at it as her biggest opponent is Bryce. She had no chance before Ryan retired. Maybe Myers sees light here. My opinion, not so much.

I usually refrain from posting anti-Myers things on a post supporting her, but in this case Bryce was brought into it..

5. I guess time will tell....

Personally I think denouncing one candidate about his twitter account ON twitter is trite and serves no purpose. I agree with one of the comments above "when are we going to stop eating our own"?

I'm for Randy Bryce btw.....

7. This is an important race.

Nothing wrong with a rigorous debate. Focusing on the issues and mixing it up is a way to get Democratic ideas covered during news cycles as well as determining the best candidate.
