GOP WI state senator Luther Olsen facing reelection battle won't say whether he'll vote for Trump
Brian Smith said he would vote for Hillary.
Luther is a Gov Walker lackey--time to put him out to pasture.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Support for Donald Trump has been a delicate subject for Wisconsin Republicans and at least one running for reelection won't even say if he'll vote for him.
State Senator Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) is in a hotly contested race against Waupaca Mayor Brian Smith (D) in the 14th District, which encompasses parts of Dane, Sauk and Columbia counties.
.........................................
But Olsen dodged the question, essentially saying it wasn't anyone's business if he's going to vote for Trump, Clinton or someone else.
"They call it a secret ballot for a reason and really it's not my intention to tell you who I'm going to vote for honestly, because I'm running for the 14th Senate District and I think my body of work is what you need to look at and - whenever I'm asked - what I stand for," said Sen. Olsen. "What I say to people is - if we are a country of 300 million people, and if these are the best two we can come up with, I don't know what's going on here. Honestly I don't like either of them."...........................

#LutherOlsen has no accountability because he's from a gerrymandered district. Too bad for the U.S. Vets this time! http://www.nbc15.com/content/news/Senator-attends-baking-contest-instead-of-vets-home-tour-395279471.html …
