One part doofus, one part jackass. A guy who could make us miss Paul Ryan. Who thought it possible?
But wouldn’t it be wonderful if Ryan got his comeuppance?
Sure, for about ten minutes. Then we get someone even worse to revile even more. Given the Democratic party’s apparent inability to compete in that district, and lack of interest in developing a nation-wide strategy, it seems the clown car can only be challenged from the right.
Dems did not bother to find a candidate.
Ryan was primaries from the right last time, too, if I remember correctly.
Didn’t the Wisconsin primary already pass?
This guy getting the jump on 2018?
Didn’t I remember Walker putting his thumb on the scale for Rafael?
Wisconsin primary will be Aug. 9. This guy’s big hope will be that everybody is up north on vacation so he can sneak in under the radar. He would need a lot of support to pull an upset like that off, especially on the level of a Congressional District. Not likely to happen, but not completely impossible.
a lot of state separate the Presidential primary from the rest of their primaries.
Comes out and tells you in his first ad that he’s all an act–a boss trying to swindle the working class with his pirate shirt and his motorcycle.

Replacing one inssufferable politician with another one.
Wisconsin deserves better. Can the Democrats muster a candidate who can defeat both of these guys? That’s the sad statement hiding in articles like this.
Hillary Clinton sponsors a line of handbags! Really? I’m speechless. How trashy. What a money grubbing bunch the Clintons are. That seems to be their only reason for existing. And all this is possible because the ignorant ‘people’ support them. Look at her and her family and look at Trump and ask yourself what do we have left of anything resembling decency and honor? At least Trump doesn’t play the hypocritical gentility schtick like the Clintons do. In his case you sort of get what you see, more or less. Up to now it seems that only Bernie Sanders has the right to that compliment.
where’s kinky friedman when you need him, eh?
