The effort to deny Democrat Donald Trump the Republican nomination for president continues. It most certainly remains a long shot, but it is not an impossibility. I spoke with one of the #FreeTheDelegate leaders here in Wisconsin, Dane County’s David Blaska. He’s an alternate delegate from the 2nd Congressional District and has long fought the…
Looks like I’m not alone in wanting to #FreetheDelegates. On Monday, I penned an open letter to Wisconsin delegates to the RNC convention. I encouraged them to do the right thing and keep Donald Trump from becoming our party’s nominee. Several delegates and alternates have let me know, privately, how much they appreciated my efforts. Some…
Friends, First, let me congratulate you on becoming delegates to the RNC convention in Cleveland next month. It’s an achievement I never attained.

What better after a hearty shot of news than a chaser of cool, refreshing analysis?
So now Republicans are now proposing a one week sales tax holiday?
What a dumb idea.
The Cap Times asked me for my take on tonight’s debate. “There’s no question that August was a brutal month for the Walker campaign, but while the polling numbers have changed since the last debate, the facts here in Wisconsin have not,” said Brian Fraley, a former Republican operative who now owns the Brookfield consulting…
