Could Madison voters do the unthinkable? No, not vote for Donald Trump. Let’s be serious. I mean could they vote down a school referendum? And if they do that, could it chip away at the overwhelming margin that Biden will win by in the city come November thereby nudging a close election in Trump’s direction?Continue reading “Could Madison’s School Referenda Elect Trump?”

The Verdict on Trump: Meh
I suppose that by next week we’ll have polls telling us whether or not the guilty verdicts against Donald Trump have had any impact on his numbers. I’m going to guess not. Nothing Trump has done wrong or Joe Biden has done right has moved the needle at all. Trump once famously said that heContinue reading “The Verdict on Trump: Meh”
What Did You Expect From Haley?
Nikki Haley wants to run for president in 2028. So, she did what she had to do and endorsed Donald Trump. While people like me admired Haley for standing up to Trump for as long as she did, it’s also true that people like me were never going to vote for her. Because, while IContinue reading “What Did You Expect From Haley?”
Debatable
Pres. Joe Biden’s debate strategy is, well, debatable. For one thing, it’s telling that he’s so eager to debate Donald Trump. That’s usually the strategy of underdogs. They need to strike a blow to their opponents to pull them down while candidates confident of victory have no reason to take the risk. So, the veryContinue reading “Debatable”
Reading the MU Poll Tea Leaves
There’s a new Marquette Law School poll just out and, like always, there’s lots of good stuff in there. Let’s check it out. Still a dead heat. The race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump remains, as expected, neck and neck. Trump has a two point lead which is the same as what he hadContinue reading “Reading the MU Poll Tea Leaves”
A Good Day For Moderation
Yesterday’s elections weren’t going to be earth-shattering, but the results were still encouraging. Let’s review. Biden out-polled Trump. While it was a foregone conclusion that Joe Biden and Donald Trump would win their primaries, Biden got about 20,000 more votes than Trump. In a state where the last two elections have come down to 20,000Continue reading “A Good Day For Moderation”
The Q&Q For 3/22/24
This week’s quote comes to us from Assembly Speaker Robin Vos who, when asked about those who organized an effort to obtain signatures to recall him, replied: “The people who did this? Whack jobs and morons.” A) 2,500 votes. B) 250 votes. C) 25 votes. D) Steen actually won, he won by a lot, butContinue reading “The Q&Q For 3/22/24”
Trump Kills Immigration Deal
What’s best for the country is that we come up with policies that bring order to the chaos at our southern border. That would also be good for Pres. Joe Biden and Democrats who are just getting killed on this issue. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wasContinue reading “Trump Kills Immigration Deal”
Watch for Phillips in New Hampshire
Americans don’t want to see a Biden-Trump rematch this next year. Both men are overwhelmingly unpopular. And yet it seems our system can’t help itself. Like some doomsday machine, it will keep firing long after everyone has given themselves up to utter despair. The vast majority of us want it to stop and yet itContinue reading “Watch for Phillips in New Hampshire”
Goodbye, Populism
If there is anything President Joe Biden’s inaugural speech was not, it was populist. President Biden’s speech has justifiably won plaudits from across the spectrum, even including the Wall Street Journal. (It’s likely this will be the last time the Journal has much good to say about him, so drink it in while you can,Continue reading “Goodbye, Populism”
