Brian Fraley10 years ago10 years ago01 mins

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…

My take on the 1st debate, Trump, Clinton and Lester Holt

dailytakes9 years ago9 years ago02 mins

Enough with the complaining about Lester Holt. As someone who dislikes both candidates who were on the stage last night, I’m a good fit to analyze the first 2016 general election presidential candidate face-off. You can always tell who lost the debate. It’s the campaign that whines about the moderator. Lester Holt did a pretty…

Defending Free Market Capitalism

Brian Fraley10 years ago10 years ago01 mins

As for my work? My dad weeded onion fields in the depression. Crawling on his hands and knees for hours in the hot sun for the equivalent of spare change for his single-mother led family. He did this as kid. THAT’s hard work. I get paid to think and to communicate. If I break a sweat it’s because the A/C is out.

dailytakes9 years ago9 years ago02 mins

Politico recently published an article that highlighted Obamacare rate increases in states where there are competitive US Senate races this fall. The reporter accurately quoted me, but I thought I’d take this opportunity to expand my thoughts a bit. I told her, flat out that I think the fallout from the ACA implementation could be…
