One of my established ideals is to vote a straight Democratic ticket.

By the way, I got your joke, (wink).

Some of his mailers have a 10:1 ratio of Ryan's name to Randy's. I'm not the only person to bring this up to him, but perhaps the powers-that-be have more pull (or money) than we do.

I wish he'd use EXACTLY the Lamb model of focusing on policy and on what HE WOULD DO for the district and country. Forget the jabbering about Ryan.

I think he has done well for himself and would be better against Ryan than Cather. That and every part of the party seems to have already rallied around him.

I’m fond of both of them. I would actually like the people to see a debate on our side.

There are electoral positives to the early support. Bryce can simply run against Ryan and millions have poured in from out of the state.

The one who loses the primary should move to Kentucky and run again -- we're Democrat-poor here, for some reason.

I like the stands each of those candidates takes.

I can't wait to see him put out to pasture. Actually, I would really like to see him put six feet under the pasture, but I will settle for him being out of office. Rotten bastard!

He will go to the Heritage Foundation (but not a lobbyist job) and will go around the country raising money for Republican Congressional candidates and establishing him as the rational alternative to help rebuild the party after Trump.

And if all of DU is prepared to coalesce around the winner than sure as hell Democrat at large will!!

The goal is flipping the seat. Beating Ryan would be gravy. But it will be easier to defeat a newby than the house leader.

36. bryce has to smartly use the entire republican playbook against ryan
Thu Mar 15, 2018, 08:09 AM
Mar 2018

if bryce does win the primary than he needs to go all in against Ryan or whoever it maybe

no standing up for working families or unions or labor
taxcuts going to the rich and not those who need it
ruining environmental protections and effect on wisconsin
attacks on social security and medicare and effect on wisconsin
cuts to medicaid and effects on wisconsin rural hospitals
too afraid to stand up to trump
not fighting tariffs and effect of foreign tariffs on wisconsin exports
focus on ryan failure to have a private sector job or no what earning a paycheck is all about, talk about HIS pension he will receive while agains working american's pensions, social security

talk about all of the social security benefits he recieved while fighting against social security for other americans

a populist message can beat ryan or and republican challenger
