It is true. For Wisconsin Republicans, this fall presents a binary choice. I choose the party of Paul Ryan over the cult of Donald Trump. Trump can’t win here. He only came to Green Bay to thumb his nose at Paul Ryan. It’s a sign of an insecure person. A bully. Meanwhile, I spent the…
You may have heard 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee recently did some shuffling of its line up, moving Steve Scaffidi to late mornings, a time period Jeff Wagner took over after the departure of Charlie Sykes. Wagner is now back in his old early afternoon slot. Scaffidi invited me on this morning to go through a…
Donald Trump’s rise has lead to a dive in GOP voter enthusiasm here, which not only takes Wisconsin off the electoral map for Trump in November, but it jeopardizes the re-election of GOP Senator Ron Johnson and gives Democrats increased hope for gains in the state assembly and state senate. My analysis:
MADISON, Wis. – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced Wisconsin as the first state buildout for “Bank Your Vote,” and launched the State Leadership Team. Bank Your Vote encourages voters to pledge to “bank” their vote before Election Day. Ahead of 2024, the Bank Your Vote operation is leveraging the full infrastructure…

Friends, First, let me congratulate you on becoming delegates to the RNC convention in Cleveland next month. It’s an achievement I never attained. I did attend the 2004 New York convention as a guest so I know how exciting this gathering can be in any year. However, this is an extraordinary year and as you…

Mining moratorium repeal. The Foxconn contract. Restructuring of Assembly Ways and Means Committee. This week’s episode is jammed packed with news from the State Capitol, including Gwyn Guenther’s interview with Rep. John Macco. https://audioboom.com/posts/6461968-the-wheelercast-11-06-17
