Think their Primary in next week. Koch Brothers just did a big money ad blitz this week in Wisconsin. With the Walker Voter suppression law ruled unconstitutional this week,Dems are going to kick some serious butt. The Rethugs in College Towns will feel the wrath of the Student Voters.

The judge ruled that the decision came out too close to the primary to put into effect immediately. Also, the state is trying to appeal it and get a stay on implementing it for November, so that is still uncertain as well. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

We College Students changed Wisconsin big time in 1960 and the Rethugs will never forget it. Your present State Legislature is in the control of the YGOPers of the same era. How well we know their dislike for us YDEM's of that era.

Noticed Prosser is retiring,best thing that could happen,the Guy is a true John Bircher . Here is looking to a positive ruling. I know the Koch Brothers just hit you folks will a Money Ad Blitz this weekend.

Although the Wisconsin Supreme Court will not get the appeal of this federal case, it now includes Prosser's successor, who was installed this week. He is probably even worse. I believe the first time he will face election is in April 2020.

Knew Prosser's family,dysfunctional,and now you have someone even worse,that smarts. Hope you folks get some turnover in this go around. Never thought we would see the day Wisconsin would be a Red State. But,that is what happens when the Democratic Party looses the narrative and a Media willing to amplify a progressive message.
