When he went down to FL to kiss Trump’s ring. I gave him more credit than that. So, no. I’m not glad he’s running.

However with blatant gerrymandering and voter suppression it may be very close.

Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent is hosting a rally for Tommy Thompson on Thursday, July 26, in support of the former Wisconsin governor’s run for the U.S. Senate.

Thompson’s campaign announced the event in Sturtevant dubbed “Rocking Rally with Ted Nugent, American Sporting Legend, and Tommy Thompson, American Conservative Legend.”

The rally is less than three weeks before the Aug. 14 Republican primary in the Senate race.

Nugent got in trouble in April when he made provocative comments about President Barack Obama during a speech at the National Rifle Association. Nugent met with Secret Service representatives after referring to Obama’s “evil, America-hating administration” and urging voters to “chop their heads off in November.”

Thompson faces businessman Eric Hovde, former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann and state Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald in the GOP primary.

In his four terms he was good to state employees. Might be harder for Tony to beat Tommy as opposed to Rebecca, people remember Tommy fondly I think and he did a decent job at UW in his recent interim position.

10. Agreed. As Lt. Governor she screwed over taxpayers with the debacle that is Foxconn.

A $4.1 billion giveaway of taxpayer dollars, the largest government subsidy a state ever gave a foreign company. Before a job was even created by Foxconn, us taxpayers were charged over $1 billion for upfront costs installing roads and highways, water pipes, gas pipes, telecommunications and on and on. Sure Walker turned the screws, too. But she is a true dummass. The sound of her voice makes me throw up. 🤢🤮
