What the tell happened to Wisconsin?

I found myself asking that after the election, but truth be told it has been slowly shifting republican for sometime. Gore and Kerry both barely won the state. And Walkerhas survived three elections, while Johnson won in 2010. Also add that Ryan is from there along with the Dufus Duffy. And as of now it looks like walker is going to get reelected in 2018 easily.

Just as Virginia/Colo has shifted blue, a state like this (along with Michigan/Pennsylvania) is shifting red.

I knew that this was going to happen with those states but I figured that Texas/Arizona/Georgia would shift blue, but they are taking longer to shift over.

Huge series of articles above in the Milwaukee paper on Bradley and how (like Koch, Scaife, Walton, Adelson, Olin) Bradley has purchased the Wisconsin GOP and used media to stoke hate against Democrats.

And get this -- their ultimate goal is to destroy the government to cut taxes on the rich. Who would have thought billionaires would have created a non-profit to do that??

They don't just want a bigger tax break, they literally want NO government to get in the way of their rapine and pillaging of the earth.
