Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez ends bid for Wisconsin governor

Rodriguez had been seen as a Democratic contender until a fundraising disaster sunk her campaign

"It left a situation where one piece of bad news amplified the other. Had Rodriguez stayed in the race, she would have faced repeated questions of how she could manage an entire state when she couldn’t keep track of her own campaign. Running TV ads could help her change the narrative, but she could no longer afford them."

Vance, what a complete jerk.

"I will say it was a little he doth protest too much because I came here to talk about financial fraud. I came here to talk about the fraud against our prenatal program for our young moms, and some guy sends me a letter."

"We have ought to have a governor who takes fraud as seriously as the president of the United States, who is trying to save your money as much as we are in Washington," Vance said. "Tom Tiffany is who we need to elect the next governor."

The guy that sends billions of tax payer dollars out the door for vanity projects, vendetta investigations and warmongering, is taking fraud seriously? Please. Get bent.

No, a Trump yes man election denier is exactly who we do NOT need in Wisconsin.

Apologize to the Mayor asshole.

I'm going to miss the constant volley between Evers and Vos. Their clarifying statements regarding party stances on policy painted a stark contrast between red and blue priorities, the ultra we to strictly me and every flavor in between.

And lastly, another one of our Wisconsin representatives, Glenn Grothman, just going along to get along. What a complete waste of a seat, and 5 minutes of air.

Here's another one of our Wisconsin representatives, Tom Tiffany, who also happens to be running for Governor, making the case that the justice department is just a pawn for both parties to do their dirty work rather than put an end to all the nonsense by enacting iron clad legislation that protects the American people from opportunists like him to run roughshod over everyone's rights.

They just love leaving that wiggle room in there, don't they? What a tool.

Remember, every accusation is a confession, here's one of our Wisconsin representatives, with a history of nepotism and favoritism, going after Smith for having friends, because he, himself, is the type of guy that believes getting ahead by any means necessary is the "American Way."

This is the same guy (Scott Fitzgerald) that orchestrated ACT 10 and eroded collective bargaining rights for all public servants, except those in police and fire.

Is it any coincidence that his Dad was appointed head of state patrol just before the legislation was fast tracked and signed by Walker?

Now, he wants to spend more tax payer dollars unraveling a "conspiracy" to hold people like himself accountable for trampling over the rights of all Americans.

As if being impartial is a fallacy, that elected officials are to do whatever the hell they want, because people gave them that freedom by electing them.
