The 9er – Episode 53 – 08.20.18
It’s our last 9er for a couple of weeks because Dan is on vacation next week, and Brian is being uncharacteristically decent giving the office the day off for Labor Day. In this episode, we learn chat about “The mom uniform”, new changes (that you won’t like) coming to Netflix, mini-horses on planes, and Brian’s new…
Previewing tonight’s debate…
Earlier in the week a reporter asked me a series of questions about tonight’s GOP Debate. Here is what I sent her in response…
Trump will consume all of the oxygen in the room, and will be rewarded with a majority of the post-debate press coverage no matter what actually happens Thursday. With Trump in the debate, the regular expectations of debate decorum are out the window. That’s in part why the media loves Trump and gives him so much coverage. It will be interesting to see if any of the competitors try to mix it up with Walker, or if they ignore him. Trump has tried to say that Wisconsin is a mess, but his reliance on failed, generalized lefty talking points hasn’t hurt Walker. Perhaps Trump or others seize on specifics to which Walker would feel compelled to react. How he responds is important.

Wisconsin Talk Radio After Sykes…
Charlie Sykes has retired from his radio show, but he’s not dead. He’s still going to remain an active voice for common sense conservatism here and nationally. However, his voice will no longer be a daily presence on the Wisconsin airwaves. But don’t think for a minute that Talk Radio is dead, or dying, here….
The 9er Episode 3
Is there still a need for Courtroom Sketch Artists? Should there be a test before you can qualify to be one? Why are we still having this conversation in 2017? Also: You name one other podcast that can tie today’s political tribulations to the hit(ish) early 80’s TV show Benson. Dan, Lisa, and Brian take…
Ribble’s Exit Generates Scramble in the 8th
More than a dozen Republicans (including at least 6 current and former state lawmakers) will contemplate running for the seat. However as supporters line up in different camps, only 4 to 5 will actually follow through, declare, and get on the ballot.
Senator Cabral-Guevara: Introduces middle class tax cut proposal
MADISON, WIS. — Today, Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara (R-Appleton) and Representative David Steffen (R-Green Bay) introduced a proposal to cut taxes for Wisconsin’s middle class. “Wisconsin’s tax climate is becoming more and more of an outlier in the Midwest. Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois all have flat income tax rates. Iowa is moving towards that model. We can…
