In the last few minutes, Benjamin Yount (1130) told us that Tony Evers was a total failure as the (Democrat) Governor of Wisconsin. Yount averred that Evers 'did not get anything done' that had been on his stated agenda, with the exception of his 400-year veto/perpetual tax increase--and that only because the ultra-Left SCOWIBabes took a pass on it.
What does that tell us?
Well, there are two possibilities. One: Democrats vote for their nominee no matter how awful he/she/it is at moving the agenda. OR: Two: the Republican candidate is SO DAMN BAD that Republicans simply could not bring themselves to the polls.
Evers defeated Scott Walker in '18. Walker was a good Gov, but had attracted the undying hatred of every. single. Democrat. constituency. (except for blacks!) in Wisconsin, and Walker did not take the offensive, either. Walker lost by a lot, 1.394 to 1.295. That is a 100,000 vote defeat. (While we suspect that the Fraud-O-Crat vote was active, it likely did not account for 100K votes.) Walker lost to a relatively fresh face who made lots of promises.
Despite not fulfilling his promises, Evers went on to defeat Tim Michels. One hardly has to say more; Michels was a terrible candidate both times he ran. Feingold crushed him with 55% in the '04 Senate race, when Kerry only got 49.7%. Obviously, Michels doesn't learn from defeat. In '20, Trump got 1.6 million; in '24, Trump got 1.7 million. In '22, Michels only got 1.26 million.
What Yount did not tell you? He did not tell you that the candidate makes all the difference.
A GOOD Republican candidate can defeat Democrats in Wisconsin. A BAD one? Not so much.
